Allows College Athletes to get endorsement deals, he predicts that other states will follow californias lead. Its going to initiate dozens of other states to introduce similar legislation and its going to change College Sports for the better. The governor tweeted out a video of the bills signing on the hbo sports show, the shot interrupted. The law takes effect in 2023, it allows College Players to hire agents, it would apply to public and private universities and covers all sports. The governor said its about fairness. No other student is restricted in using their names, images and likeness, only athletes, its about equity and fairness and time. The ncaa asked the governor to veto the bill. The group warned it would give california universities an unforadvantage in recruiting. Joining us in the studio is the author of the bill. Why do you think it is so important to allow College Athletes to have agents and sign endorsement deals. College sports has made billions for everyone involved except the people that are the talent that creates the wealth, thats the student athletes, thats wrong. You know the push back from the ncaa, right now their rules prohibit anyone from profiting in new way from any sport. They have said that if you pass the law, california schools will be in violation of ncaa rules, do you think that is a reality or will the ncaa make some changes. They have a bad history. They lose lawsuits, this is an antitrust violation if they exclude california schools and secondly, the public is on our side. California has put bill 206 into law and new york state has just introduced a bull and the Florida Legislature is troducing a bill and nebraska is introducing a bill. The ncaa has the power to give this route to every student across the country and they should. The ncaa is warning that this is going to lead to the professionalization of College Sports, are you worried about that . Its a milty billion dollars industry route now. College coaches are some of the highest paid employees in the state and across the country, in addition to their salaries they can get endorsement deals, why are the students who cannot. If you are a swimmer, you cannot pay for swimming lessons. Do you think this pressure, starting this california, will in fact lead to the ncaa changing its rules . Well, if the ncaa disng do the right thing, which they have the ability to do, the rest of the states will do it for them. We already have florida, south carolina, new york, nebraska, all following suit. What about the notion that the universities in california would have this unfair recruiting edge, if i am a College Athlete i ammore likely to come to a school in california where i could potentially get paid for my performances on the field. The bill does not go into effect until 2023, there is a lot of time for the colleges to make the adjustment and the ncaa to change their rules, every student wants that advantage so the ncaa should do the route thing. Why do you think that they have been so reluctant to make the change, people have been requesting, why does this exist . Why do you think that the ncaa is so reluctant . I lot of entrenched interests do not like to change their business model. A lot of people have made a lot of money for a long time and they believe if they share they will not make as much. Its the right thing to do, it puts the equity of students first. California leads with our values, they will follow. You obviously have big names onboard. Lele bron james, green among many athletes supporting you. Le bron has been a champion for this issue for years, he did not go to college because he would not have afforded to go to college. He has been such a champion of this. The young gymnasts were there at the taping, sports observers and the public are on the side of do the right thing.

Now for the latest developments in the impeachment inquiry, President Donald Trump took to twitter this morning to call the probe the greatest witch hunt in history and he attacked the intelligence chair. He said arrest for treason, the president also defended his call to the president of ukraine writing i was looking for corruption. He concluded by the way, the bidens were corrupt. Three house committees today issued subpoenas for President Donald Trumps personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, according to the whistle blowers report, Rudy Giuliani was involved in ukraine, so far no evidence of corruption has emerged. Reporter although congress is out on recess there are some lawmakers moving full steam ahead on the impeachment inquiry, democrats are hoping to wrap it up by the end of the year if not by thanksgiving. This is a disgrace. I think that they are going to move it quickly. Reporter three house committees set a date for secretary of state mike pompeo to comply with a subpoena sphor documents plus a new subpoena for Rudy Giuliani saying that they are investigating credible allegations that you acted as an agent of the president to further his political interests. I would love to challenge the committee. The cia officer behind the whistle blower complaint is expected to eventually appear before the Intelligence Committee but attorneys for the whistle blower fear for their clients safety. When you have a whistle blower, the reports are not correct. The Senate Leader said he has no choice. Under the senate rules we are required to take it up if the house goes down that path. In the latest poll on how americans feel about impeachment, it finds a 20 point shift. A week ago a majority of voters were not in favor, now voters are evenly divided. Protestors blocked off the entrance to a Popular Grocery store, the reason behind the demonstration, still to come. Residents of one San Francisco neighborhood put down boulders to keep homeless and drug dealers away. A breezy cool day out there but we have a warm up on the way. A major warm up. I have the forecast coming up. We have more coming up on ktvu news right after the break [white rabbit by jefferson airplane] one pill makes you larger and one pill makes you smaller and the ones that mother gives you dont do anything at all remember what the dormouse said welcome aboard. Feed your head. Last week we told you about frustrated residents of one San Francisco neighborhood who tried to put boulders in front of their residences and businesses to keep the homeless away. The boulders were removed yesterday. We are live from that neighborhood near market and dolores. Reporter the boulders are now gone. They said that the backlash just was not worth it. One by one, the San Francisco public works crew hauled away each of the two dozen boulders near market street. We have had people pushing those rocks out on to the streets which has made it unsafe. Earlier this month a group of residents so tired of asking the city to do something took matters into their own hands, they banded together and paid 200 each to place boulders there as a deterrent. They want getting emails feeling that there was a lot of pressure being put on them. Many of the boulders ended up in the street pushed there by those that feel that the barriers are wrong. For the people now vandal, vandalizing the boulders they are worst than the criminals that they are trying to defend. That could involve larger boulders or some kind of land scawp plan, for now, just to put things at rest we are in possession of the rocks and at the drawing board. Many homeless advocates empathize but they said that the boulders are not a solution. Thats not how we do it in San Francisco. We are more accepting, we find a betterrance here. The worry is, how will it be over the next several days or weeks, will we be able to walk down the street or not. Its not clear where the homeless went but residents say now that the boulders are gone, where did they go. Thank you for the update. Lets turn our attention to the beautiful weather, cooler weather. It has been cool but beautiful today. We have the clear skies from the morning through the afternoon but the temperatures are below average, no doubt about it. You are taking a live look at San Francisco. The blue skies are just gorgeous, its deceiving because you cannot tell how cool it is, this is San Francisco in the distance, we are looking from oakland. The cameras are bouncing because we are starting to get some wind too. 21 miles per hour. That onshore flow is helping to keep us cool at sfo, that makes it more chilly. Nice clear skies on Storm Tracker two as we zoom out. The entire coast of california, can clouds through the north of us of the current temperatures, 67 in santa rosa, oakland, 66, livermore, 67, san jose, 66 degrees, we should be about 70 degrees in San Francisco this time of year but again, struggling to get to those lower 60s, well below average, eight to 10 degrees below average, its going to be nice tonight, if you are in the north bay, 38 degrees for the overnight low in santa rosa, warmer than that in San Francisco. Lower 40s in morgan hill. On the edge of the cooler temperatures, but the cooler temperatures are not what we are talking about coming towards the weekend. We have a chilly night tonight. Tomorrow a warm up to get back to seasonal temperatures, then we push further towards the weekend. Upper 80s for the inlant communities, we will talk about that with the extended forecast. Thank you. Looking forward to that. San Francisco Police cited 33 Animal Rights activists for trespassing following a protest outside of a whole foods market.

Continuing coverage of the new law that allows College Athletes to hire agents and make money from endorsement deals, its meant to bring more fairness to College Athletics and let players share in the wealth that they create for their schools. We have the chief operating officer for the oakland as, how big of a deal is this for College Athletic programs. Its a big deal. Its an early step that is going to kick start a process that is going to talk a number of years, the bill talks effect in 2023, that gives time for the legislatures and the ncaa to come together. Right now the ncaa is not a fan of the law, they are threatening to kick out california institutions. Its important to note that the law really does open up the ability for athletes to sell their name and likeness but does not open up the ability for schools to pay athletes directly. What do you make of the concerns that money may become too much part of the game. There is a lot of questions on how this works, i will give you one example that stands out to me. Third parties can pay athletes bullet schools cannot. How do you regulate that the athletes come into the recruitment process and not be swayed by the money. Thats a good question, i can see it as being very influential as the third parties have a lot of influence. From a National Perspective there is a challenge to figure out how to keep the Playing Field level, some states approve this and some do not. You end up with a testify competitive challenge. This opens a brand new door for agents. I am sure that they are loving this. Its an interesting process, you got scols out there that are going to be selling marketing rights and now you are going to have the athletes selling similar right. I know that there is some language in the law that you cannot do it with brands that are already pre associated with the university, there is a lot to work out in terms of how this is going to play out. What about brands that do not align with the schools values. Would that become a problem or an issue. This is going to force movement on this issue of the there is been a lot of positioning and posturing. What is going to happen is that this is going to put that 2023 date out there. You mentioned that there is talk about something being done. The nebraska coach said there is some points being made for athletes being compensated but i hope it does not destroy opportunities and competitive balance. He also adds its a slippery slope. I think that the balance is at the essence of the issue, you have very talented people in universities in music and arts being exawted. Thats not the case for College Athletics but there is Something Special about College Athletics, fugging out how this work is key to the College Athletics. Thank you chris. Thank you.
