CNN News: 加州允許大學(xué)運(yùn)動(dòng)員通過(guò)代言賺錢

Hi, I'm Carl Azuz. We're happy to have you watching CNN 10. Today's show starts with a debate. Should America's college athletes get paid? This has been a controversy for a while, what's new this time around is that the state of California has just passed a law called the Fair Pay to Play Act.

大家好，我是卡爾·阿祖茲。歡迎收看CNN 學(xué)生新聞。今天的節(jié)目以辯論開(kāi)始。美國(guó)大學(xué)生運(yùn)動(dòng)員應(yīng)該得到報(bào)酬嗎?這一爭(zhēng)議已經(jīng)有一段時(shí)間了，這次的新情況是加利福尼亞州剛剛通過(guò)了一項(xiàng)名為“公平薪酬法案”的法律。

It would allow college athletes to sign endorsement deals and earn money from their names or images. The law doesn't take effect until 2023 which allows time for legal challenges to play out and it goes directly against rules set by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The NCAA oversees student athletes from across the country. It also organizes athletic programs for American and Canadian college and the NCAA brings in roughly $1 billion per year in revenue, but it's a not for profit organization.

該法案將允許大學(xué)運(yùn)動(dòng)員簽署代言協(xié)議，并通過(guò)自己的名字或形象賺錢。這項(xiàng)法律要到2023年才會(huì)生效，這就針對(duì)該法律上的挑戰(zhàn)留出了時(shí)間，同時(shí)該法案直接違反了美國(guó)大學(xué)體育協(xié)會(huì)制定的規(guī)則。NCAA監(jiān)督來(lái)自全國(guó)各地的學(xué)生運(yùn)動(dòng)員。它還為美國(guó)和加拿大的大學(xué)組織體育項(xiàng)目，NCAA每年帶來(lái)大約10億美元的收入，但不是一個(gè)營(yíng)利性組織。

It says it gives 96 percent of the money it takes in back to schools. Still, the schools themselves profit from sports and the NCAA doesn't allow college players to sell autographs or make money off their You Tube channels. California's new law would change that. The state says that scholarships or free college attendance, which many top athletes receive, doesn't count as pay.

該組織表示，把收入的96%返還給學(xué)校。盡管如此，學(xué)校本身也從體育比賽中獲利，而且NCAA不允許大學(xué)球員出售親筆簽名或通過(guò)自身的YouTub賺錢。加州的新法律將改變這一現(xiàn)狀。該州表示，許多頂尖運(yùn)動(dòng)員獲得的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金或免費(fèi)大學(xué)入學(xué)機(jī)會(huì)并不算工資。

But the NCAA says that if California allows athletes to profit and other states don't, it will remove equality in college sports and give California an unfair advantage in recruiting players from across America. Critics also say the law will blur the line between pro-sports which pay and amateur sports which don't. California's governor says the only college students who can't profit off their own images are athletes.

但NCAA表示，如果加州允許運(yùn)動(dòng)員盈利，而其他州不允許，那么大學(xué)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)中的平等將被取消，加州將在從全美各地招募運(yùn)動(dòng)員方面獲得不公平的優(yōu)勢(shì)。批評(píng)人士還表示，這項(xiàng)法律將模糊職業(yè)體育和業(yè)余體育之間的界限。但加州州長(zhǎng)表示，現(xiàn)在唯一不能從自己的形象中獲利的大學(xué)生是運(yùn)動(dòng)員。
