    How can college athletes make money without losing their eligibility?

    On July 1, 2021, a combination of state law changes and an NCAA waiver allowed college athletes to begin receiving compensation for their right to publicity (including their name, image and likeness) without losing their collegiate eligibility.  Sports lawyer Malik Jackson talks with Chris Dix about the practical impact of those changes for athletes, parents, coaches, colleges and universities.  Malik also discusses differences between rules adopted by different institutions (e.g., University of Florida vs. University of Alabama vs. Florida State University).      Below are links to the NIL policies of several colleges and universities mentioned during this episode:  University of Florida:  https://floridagators.com/sports/2021/6/24/name-image-likeness.aspx  University of Alabama:  https://rolltide.com/sports/2021/6/28/name-image-likeness.aspx#:~:text=Use%20of%20any%20registered%20marks,unless%20receiving%20prior%20written%20permission  Florida State University:  https://seminoles.com/nilinfo/#:~:text=The%20state%20law%20prohibits%20student,in%20an%20FSU%20team%20contract.&text=NIL%20compensation%20activities%20may%20not%20occur%20during%20department%20or%20team%20related%20activities.&text=Questions%20should%20be%20directed%20to%20the%20FSU%20Office%20of%20Financial%20Aid  Brigham Young University: https://byucougars.com/story/athletics/1296873/byu-institutes-nil-policies

    Do college athletes need a Bill of Rights?

    Do college athletes need a Bill of Rights to protect them against the colleges, conferences and coaches they play for?   In August, a group of U.S. Senators announced they plan to introduce a College Athlete Bill of Rights to "guarantee fair and equitable compensation, enforceable health and safety standards, and improved educational opportunities for all college athletes."  The legislation promises to: 1. Fair and equitable compensation. 2. Enforceable evidence-based health, safety and wellness standards. 3. Improved educational outcomes and opportunities. 4. Comprehensive health care coverage and support with sport-related injuries. 5. Accountability across college sports. 6. Freedom for college athletes to attend the institution of their choice. 7. An oversight panel that gives athletes a real voice.   https://www.booker.senate.gov/news/press/booker-senators-announce-college-athletes-bill-of-rights In September, a bipartisan solution called the Student Athlete Level Playing Field Act was proposed in the U.S. House of Representatives to: 1. Grant student athletes the right to capitalize off their own name, image and likeness and engage in agent contracts.  2. Establish one federal standard on NIL and a level playing field for college athletics.  3. Establish a commission appointed by Congress and made up of a variety of NIL stakeholders, including student athletes, tasked with continuing to study the logistics of NIL as it is rolled out and providing legislative recommendations to Congress about ways the process could be improved.  4. Ensure student athletes are not considered employees of universities.  5. Protect the recruitment process.   https://anthonygonzalez.house.gov/uploadedfiles/the_student_athlete_level_playing_field_act_-_one_pager.pdf
