U.S. Senators Tommy Tuberville, Joe Manchin Introduce New Bipartisan Bill To Regulate Name, Image And Likeness In College Sports
"I think it was a big mistake by the NCAA not to do a framework around NIL when they had the opportunity to. And I think there were too many people in college sports who thought no rules would work really well for them. And what everybody’s discovered is no rules, no transparency, no accountability, no framework, doesn’t work well for anybody."
— NCAA President Charlie Baker
"My legislation with Senator Manchin will set basic rules nationwide, protect our student-athletes, and keep NIL activities from ending college sports as we know it."
— Senator Tommy Tuberville
The “common-sense guidelines” include:
NO PAY FOR PLAY:
HEALTH & SAFETY:
PROTECTING STUDENT-ATHLETES OFF THE FIELD:
OVERSIGHT & TRANSPARENCY:
CLARIFYING NIL ACTIVITY:
TRANSFERS:

Smart money says there is some major lobbying going on around this bill and it will never see the light of day in it's current form.
