I just don't understand the point of all this. Every single College Athlete worth a damn is getting paid under the table. Not to mention free food, living, clothes, etc.

I don't care if players are paid but this is going to be a far larger payout scheme than people currently are expecting or thinking about. This is going to be $10m per year in payouts at some of the huge programs. There is going to be a college basketball program that comes out of no-where that wins a national championship in the next decade because an alumni donated $300m to a fund to buy players. Someone like Marshall University or DePaul.
I bought a motorcycle off a KU player. When he handed me the title it was in his dad's name and he just so happened to win it on his recruiting trip.

I rather like what (parody) Rock Times had to say about this.
Arkansas will begin paying California players as well. Say you are a DB for, hypothetically speaking, San Jose State and you just so happen to drop an INT? Well, there might be a little extra in your to go bag.
We will build our way up to playing 3, maybe 4, California teams, all of whom we can make discrete and, in no way shape or form, game altering, payments too.
Once we pay off our former coaches we might get around to paying our players as well.

If true, and you can't prove it, then why are they asking to make money from their likeness as provided by the institution they signed on to?
Bottom line is that within 20 to 30 years from now future professional athletes will not even bother with college athletics. They will simply join one of the Nike/UA/Bud Light minor league combines after the government decides on what age they would be eligible to join.
That is the actual free market in action which the pro cali people who like to throw out mockingly fail to see long term.

Maybe down the line this will push for an NCAA football game. That's all I want

Other than putting pressure on the NCAA, what do these laws actually do? The NCAA isn't under the law of the land. They go by their own rules that are set up by the presidents of the member universities. Every state could pass a law saying its ok to play players, but if the NCAA rules all those players ineligible, what good were the laws?
