Article then goes on to talk about how there is a bill before the California sate legislature that would require Football and Basketball at all California Universities to split 50% of proceeds with the players max of $25,000 per player per year and all funds forfeit if they do not graduate and complete the degree.
After a push from students to change the school’s mascot, UC Davis will no longer have Gunrock the Mustang roaming the sidelines. Instead, the mascot will be a cow. The movement saw the creation of the Cow4Mascot campaign, which was organized by Mick Hashimoto. The campaign won 2,532 votes on Monday as part of the Northern California school's 2022 student elections.
“I completely do not think it represents any part of our school,” Hashimoto said via sfgate.com. “Like, ‘old elite’ is how a thoroughbred racing horse can be described as, whereas currently with the UC Davis students, we're all just genuinely hardworking people coming from different walks of life with a lot of diversity. ”
An important piece of the campaign’s message was bargaining for a mascot that “everyone can resonate with.” There are still steps to be taken, but Aggie the Cow will likely be the new name for the soon-to-be-changed mascot.

California state legislators proposed a bill that would require schools in the state to split 50% of its athletic revenue in football and both men's and women's basketball with the athletes, according to The Los Angeles Times. Senate Bill 1401, titled as the “College Athlete Race and Gender Equity Act," was passed through the California Senate education and judiciary committees and now sits with the appropriations committee, who were set to consider this week whether the bill will reach the Senate floor in Sacramento, per The Times.
