Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:33:00 GMT
As the Pac-12’s existential crisis plays out in public, a threat to its economic model is quietly churning through the California state legislature.Assembly Bill 252, also known as the College Athlete Protection Act, aims to create a revenue-sharing arrangement between the schools and athletes in the major sports.The bill’s author is assembly member Chris Holden, who represents District 41 (Pasadena) and is a former San Diego State basketball player.To craft AB 252, Holden worked closely with National College Players Association, the athlete-advocacy group that helped push forward the “Fair Pay To Play Act” — better known as name, image and likeness (NIL) — and is supported by the United Steelworkers.But there is a significant difference in the pieces of legislation. While NIL allowed athletes to receive compensation from the private sector for endorsement and promotional endeavors, AB 252 funnels revenue currently used for athletic department ope...Man sentenced for series of BB gun attacks on California Planned Parenthood clinic

The U.S. State Department on Tuesday condemned the arrest of a former employee of a U.S. consulate in Russia, the latest example of the country’s crackdown against its own citizens and foreigners.Russia’s Tass news agency said Robert Shonov was detained in the Russian city of Vladivostok on suspicion of “cooperation on a confidential basis with a foreign state, international or foreign organization.” Tass didn’t say when the detention occurred or provide any details of the allegation. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said Shonov is a Russian national worked at the now-closed U.S. consulate in Vladivostok for more than 25 years.

SCHOHARIE, N.Y. (AP) — The operator of a limousine company who has been accused of acting recklessly and causing the deaths of 20 people, is not to blame for the 2018 upstate New York crash, because he tried his best to repair and maintain the stretch limo, his lawyer argued during closing statements Tuesday. Special prosecutor Frederick Rench said Nauman Hussain, who ran Prestige Limousine, intentionally failed to follow the maintenance regulations for the 2001 Ford Excursion. Rench said that if Hussain had done routine state vehicle inspections, as required, it would’ve revealed brake defects and prevented the wreck in Schoharie, a village west of Albany. Hussain is charged with criminally negligent homicide and second-degree manslaughter in connection with the 2018 wreck of the stretch SUV limousine. Jurors will be asked to decide whether Hussain is guilty of one of the charges. Prosecutors say the brakes failed to stop the heavy limo, which was packed with birthday reveler...Latest news
