I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has enjoyed my films. I am very proud of my filmography. I admit I’ve made some terrible movies but for the first thirty years that was just because the movie wasn’t as good as the script, and in the last 20 years it’s just because of money

Great reminder that CA lawmakers’ courage in standing up to the NCAA led to rights & freedoms for college athletes NATIONWIDE. Thank you to @GavinNewsom @NancySkinnerCA @SteveBradford
The NCPA is a proud co-sponsor of this law & will continue fighting for athletes’ rights!
Nancy Skinner@NancySkinnerCA
California for the win -- again! Thank you, @GavinNewsom, for signing #SB26 into law so that the Fair Pay to Play Act will take effect tomorrow (9/1)! CA college athletes now have full rights to earn money from their talent & hard work. #PlayersGetPaid sd09.senate.ca.gov/news/20210831-…

Also, nothing in the previous rulings actually require any school to pay anything - it would all be optional.
Amanda Christovich@achristovichh
Waxman basically says schools wouldn't be able to afford nonrevenue sports if they had to provide more ed benefits to all. This is a threat, not reality. As @NCPANOW Ramogi Huma pointed out, DIII schools, high schools somehow fund many sports, w/o the money of Power 5 programs.

Sometimes (most times) the NCAA doesn’t make sense when they choose to punish some schools and not others. We can most likely chalk it up to amateurism and the money makers. Let’s change that. Start by singing and sharing our petition. change.org/UMTennisPetiti…

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? When @seanhannity lent his private jet to his son's @WakeForest tennis team, the @NCAA did NOTHING. When @Brittcollens22 was wrongly credited $252 for a phone jack she never used, @UMass got stripped of its A-10 Championship thedailyedge.substack.com/p/mass-madness…

“I think the Power Five and NCAA proposals are dead in the water. They went to Congress and they lost,” said Ramogi Huma of the NCPA. “At this point, all they can do is play defense, which is what we were doing at first. Now we’re playing offense.” recorder.com/NCAA-Power-Fiv…

It is way past time that the @NCAA's exploitation of college athletes ends.
These young people deserve justice.
