Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James voiced his approval for a bill that would allow college athletes in California to profit off endorsement deals.
Senate Bill 206, called the Fair Pay to Play Act, would prevent schools in the state from taking away scholarships or eligibility from collegiate athletes who use their stardom to generate money. SB 206 has cleared the state Senate and is awaiting a vote by the full California State Assembly.
