HOUSTON (FOX 26) - To pay them, or not to pay them? That is the question.

We're talking about college athletes, and California's governor has opened a can of worms.

The law goes into effect in 2023, and it specifically keeps the National Collegiate Athletic Association from punishing them.

The NCAA is now in crisis mode.
