This webinar will provide state legislators and policy stakeholders with a clear, nonpartisan overview of how Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) policies have transformed college athletics and why the issue increasingly demands state-level attention.
Participants will gain insight into the legal, economic, and political forces that dismantled the NCAA’s traditional amateurism model and created today’s rapidly evolving NIL landscape.
The discussion will focus on practical policy considerations, including differences across state laws, athlete protections, institutional responsibilities, and emerging regulatory gaps. Panelists will also explore what lies ahead—from potential federal action to questions about athlete compensation, revenue sharing, and the long-term structure of college sports.
