It has been a debated topic for years and now it could come into play.

On Monday, California's governor signed a bill making it legal for college athletes to make money without impacting their amateur status.

The bill does not allow universities to pay players. It does allow college athletes to sign shoe contracts and be endorsed by companies that do not conflict on the college's already existing deals.

Kentucky sports radio personality Matt Jones tweeted that a lawmaker told him a bill is being worked on to prefile in Kentucky.

Jones did not mention specifically which lawmaker was working to prefile the bill or what it would look like.

UK head basketball coach John Calipari said he is worried about how it could affect education.

"My point is societal, what are we doing. An entertainment industry that's worth billions and billions is not worried about the society part of this. I think we as educators should," said Calipari.

Florida is also looking into prefiling bills.

For now, it appears unless the NCAA makes a change to their rules and these laws are adopted, universities would have to decide whether to leave the NCAA. They could even create their own governing body to college athletics.
