Episode 6: Senate Hearing over NIL rights


Listen Later

In this week's episode, we discuss the recent Senate Hearing concerning possible congressional action over the future monetization of rights pertaining to the Name, Image, and Likeness ("NIL Rights") of NCAA athletes. We have a spirited debate over the merits of college athlete unionization and the broader legal fight over these athletes' labor status. The conversation includes discussion about the healthcare needs of college athletes and economic arguments against cutting non-revenue sports and roster spots. 

Throughout the podcast we cite arguments made by the committee members and witnesses. Watch the Senate Hearing in its entirety as well as find links to the written testimony and other research submitted by the witnesses: https://www.help.senate.gov/hearings/compensating-college-athletes-examining-the-potential-impact-on-athletes-and-institutions
