Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law. New York State Sen. Kevin S. Parker also introduced similar legislation, Senate Bill S6722A  also known as the “New York Collegiate Athletic Participation Compensation Act.”  “Under this new partnership, the NFLPA and the NCPA will explore opportunities for merchandise,...
