COLLEGE ATHLETES - An informational hearing held by the Senate Select Committee
on the Entertainment Industry. The origins of this hearing stem from just a
general interest in how student-athletes are treated, particularly in
California. We have approximately 17,000 students at 45 schools who participate
in NCAA sanctioned sports, and then there are additional athletes in other
sports. There is clearly a significant amount of money flowing through and for
these sports, not only through TV but through advertising and sponsorships and
various forms of revenue, as well as alumni and booster contributions. It's the
billions and billions of dollars which cause some interest, considering that
this is supposed to be amateur sports. (Stock #1221-S; $6.73 - includes tax
