The transfer portal has screwed up college sports. My bill is simple: you get 5 consecutive years to play 5 seasons and you get 1 transfer. After that, if you transfer again, you sit out a year. This will fix 80% of the issues in NIL today.
“We faced myeloma at 35, when Elijah, a retired NFL linebacker, was diagnosed with this blood cancer. His early symptoms were easy to overlook. Treatments were limited, support was scarce, and we eventually lost him.” – Kimberly, advocate, mother, widow She continues to share his story so others don’t miss the signs, to raise awareness and bring her community together.

Another key point: NIL is not a new right. And it's not from the Alston case or even federal law. NIL is a subset of the right of publiclity, which was first recognized as a standalone concept in a 1953 court decision by the Second Circuit, is governed by states and is based on very old privacy rights. The right of publicity forbids the commercial use of another person’s identity—be it their name, image and likeness and sometimes also their voice, mannerisms, signature and other characteristics that make them unique—without their consent. NIL, as that coin has been termed, came about because Ed O'Bannon challenged the NCAA's restraint on college athletes being able to use their right of publicity—specifically the players' likenesses—in video games. California and other states then enacted NIL statutes making it illegal for colleges, conferences and the NCAA to deprive an athlete of eligiblity on the basis of using their NIL. NIL deals are supposed to be like endorsement deals, but have morphed into pay-for-play arrangements—a separate topic. Some of the comments in the White House meeting misunderstand what NIL is.

The U.S. Supreme Court is not responsible for NIL. NCAA v. Alston had nothing to do with NIL. It even had nothing to do with paying college athletes to play sports. Alston was about NCAA rules restricting how colleges reimburse education expenses. sportico.com/law/analysis/2….
@SarahHuckabee Arkansas would go back to being an irrelevant basketball team without NIL. Be careful what you wish for.
