[2e8a1c89-a306-4ba9-8ecd-4b91adb267e9.jpg] Essential California [Send to friend](mailto:?subject=Essential California:Â The changing economy of college sports&body= | [Open in browser]( Good morning, and welcome to the [Essential California newsletter](. It’s Tuesday, Oct. 1, and I’m writing from Los Angeles. College sports is a multibillion-dollar industry, where the only group of people who haven’t been able to cash in are the student-athletes who make it all possible. Now, Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill into law that will allow college athletes to make money from endorsements, potentially upending the unequal equation of college sports. The bill was vociferously opposed by the NCAA, [which warned Newsom]( that passing it would be “unconstitutional.” The NCAA will be prohibited from barring a university from competition if its athletes are compensated for the use of their name, image or likeness beginning Jan. 1, 2023, when the law goes into effect in California. The landmark law is the first of its kind in the nation, but it will probably have ripple effects. Lawmakers in [New York and South Carolina]( have already proposed similar legislation, and a Florida lawmaker [just announced plans]( to do so as well. As state government reporter Melody Gutierrez and sports reporter Nathan Fenno write in their story, Newsom said university presidents and athletic boosters contacted him and urged him to veto the bill but that he felt strongly the state needed to address the racial, gender and economic injustices ingrained in college athletics. [Read the story: [“California will allow college athletes to profit from endorsements under bill signed by Newsom”]( in the Los Angeles Times] “This is a game changer for student athletes and for equity in sports,” said LeBron James, who has been a vocal supporter of the bill, said. Newsom signed the bill [alongside James]( during an episode of “The Shop,” a show produced by James’ digital media company. The NCAA said in a statement Monday that it planned to “consider next steps in California.” In the meantime, here are [some key questions and answers]( about the law. And now, here’s what’s happening across California: TOP STORIES The FDA tried to ban flavored e-cigarettes years before the vaping outbreak. If the ban had gone through, the kid-friendly vaping liquids would have been pushed off store shelves. Instead, over the course of 46 days, a deluge of more than 100 tobacco industry lobbyists and small-business advocates met with White House officials as they weighed whether to include the ban as part of a new tobacco control rule. The end result: Senior Obama administration officials nixed the ban and much of the evidence supporting it, according to documents reviewed by The Times. [Los Angeles Times]( Forever 21 Inc. joined the ever-growing numbers of apparel retailers that have filed for bankruptcy — a list from which few clothiers have bounced back. The Los Angeles-based company [fell victim]( to a combination of slower mall traffic, dissatisfaction with its clothes, its own over-expansion and the ongoing consumer shift to online shopping, all of which created a cash crunch that forced the firm to file for Chapter 11. [Los Angeles Times]( L.A. STORIES Vidiots is officially on its way back. The beloved video store-turned-film nonprofit organization is set to relaunch in L.A.’s Eagle Rock neighborhood in fall 2020.

[More weather is here.]( AND FINALLY Today’s California memory comes from Julie Chelette-O’Neil: “When I was 6 years old, my parents took me on a trip to visit my older sister at UC Berkeley. We stopped along Pacific Coast Highway at a beach in Monterey. It was a cool and foggy day, and it was there I saw the ocean for the first time. My mother and father walked me to the surf and I remember vividly the soft sand and the cold water on my toes. I fussed and cried when it was time to go, and my parents collected a bucket of sand and a few shells to calm me. I still have that little blue bucket.” If you have a memory or story about the Golden State, [share it with us](. (Please keep your story to 100 words.)
