States are rushing to pass laws allowing college athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL).
At the bottom of the article is a list of states with actual or impending legislation. CT is not among them. Will that be a consideration for potential UConn recruits? Or will CT hustle to catch up?
We're also waiting for the Supreme Court decision in the next 6-8 weeks that might prevent, limit, or increase NIL. Early speculation is that the SC will not rule in the NCAA's favor to grant the NCAA right to regulate NIL. Meaning, that it will maintain the status quo ante, and it will be up to each state to determine NIL for athletes in its own state. Again, that puts pressure on CT to follow their lead quickly.
