Sponsored content session by Goulston & Storrs

A sea change in college athletics occurred on July 1, 2021: A number of states’ NIL laws went into effect, providing student-athletes who go to colleges and universities in those states the right to monetize their NIL rights; The NCAA declared that it would no longer enforce its prohibition on student-athletes’ monetizing their NIL rights; Dozens of colleges and universities published NIL policies. But with different or no policies in effect, how can colleges and universities compete in recruiting and generating new revenue sources? What does this new NIL landscape mean for athletics departments? And what does this mean for student-athletes? This session focuses on the opportunities and risks for colleges and universities in permitting student-athletes to sell or license their name, image and likeness. It also focuses on whether we can level the playing field between and among schools. Moderator: Robin Young, Host, National Public Radio. Panelists: Patrick Chun, Director of Athletics, Washington State University; Marty Edel, Chair, Sports Law Practice, Goulston & Storrs; Warde Manuel, Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics, University of Michigan; Julie Ruppert, Commissioner, Northeast-10 Conference.
