as i understand, the law also prohibits NCAA from enforcing any punitive or penalizimg action against member schools in whatever and wherever venues they play (i.e. outside CA).
the rub will be if a court enforces Cali's reach outside its borders....
The only thing stopping the NCAA from kicking Cali schools out is anti-trust. Unless anti-trust would also prevent them from penalizing Cali schools with post-season bans, scholarship limits, etc. there is no State of California law that can stop the NCAA from doing that. As long as the penalties the NCAA lays down are not more punitive than the penalties they would lay down for any other member organization, I don’t think there would be any legal issues.
