California signed a new law this week to help protect student-athletes from "unscrupulous" agents.
The bill enacts penalties for agents who look to victimize collegiate athletes by preying on their financial needs and jeopardizing their eligibility and future pro career.
"The dirty secret behind student-athletes is that they toil for long hours pursuing their dreams but are often living in poverty. They are very vulnerable to unscrupulous agents preying on them in the hopes of a future reward," said the bill's author Senator Kevin de León, Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Sports and Entertainment. "I am thrilled California is now one step closer to preventing student athlete victimization with the passage of this legislation."
