NIL, Congress & the NCAA: a battle far from over.
While the #NCAA takes a progressive step on athlete compensation this week, a skeptical Congress looks on.
From Capitol Hill, a deep dive exploring federal NIL legislation.
“NIL is totally insufficient."

NIL laws will have sweeping impacts on college sports, ADs tell @SInow, the most noteworthy of which is the widening of competitive gaps among schools.
The rich (schools in large metros with big donor bases) will get richer.
“This is going to be chaos.”

On NIL, school presidents are “panicked,” ADs are “scratching their heads,” and working group is “conflicted.”
While consensus in Congress is rare, lawmakers agree on 1 thing, says Rep. Donna Shalala
“They have nothing but negative feelings for the NCAA"

Sen. Chris Murphy takes @SInow inside the 2 conversations among lawmakers: (1) Should Congress or NCAA create NIL rules? (2) And should athlete compensation go beyond NIL?
“We should be looking at a broader set of legal protections to allow schools to compensate athletes.”
One Power 5 AD who spoke to @SInow sees NIL thru a different prism.
“Booster says, ‘I’m going to put you in a law firm ad and pay you all this money.’
“Some people say that’s already happening now.”
