美国有线新闻 CNN 加州允许大学运动员通过代言赚钱(在线收听

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,我是卡尔·阿祖兹。欢迎收看CNN 学生新闻。今天的节目以辩论开始。美国大学生运动员应该得到报酬吗?这一争议已经有一段时间了,这次的新情况是加利福尼亚州刚刚通过了一项名为“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.

该法案将允许大学运动员签署代言协议,并通过自己的名字或形象赚钱。这项法律要到2023年才会生效,这就针对该法律上的挑战留出了时间,同时该法案直接违反了美国大学体育协会制定的规则。NCAA监督来自全国各地的学生运动员。它还为美国和加拿大的大学组织体育项目,NCAA每年带来大约10亿美元的收入,但不是一个营利性组织。

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.

该组织表示,把收入的96%返还给学校。尽管如此,学校本身也从体育比赛中获利,而且NCAA不允许大学球员出售亲笔签名或通过自身的YouTub赚钱。加州的新法律将改变这一现状。该州表示,许多顶尖运动员获得的奖学金或免费大学入学机会并不算工资。

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,如果加州允许运动员盈利,而其他州不允许,那么大学体育运动中的平等将被取消,加州将在从全美各地招募运动员方面获得不公平的优势。批评人士还表示,这项法律将模糊职业体育和业余体育之间的界限。但加州州长表示,现在唯一不能从自己的形象中获利的大学生是运动员。
