Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
Abstract
The article examines the evolution of name, image, and likeness (NIL) policies in college athletics, highlighting the legal, economic, and educational implications of allowing college athletes to profit from their NIL. It argues that while recent legal cases and state legislation have expanded NIL rights, the lack of enforceable guardrails has created a chaotic system dominated by booster collectives, exacerbating financial and equity issues in college sports. The analysis critiques the NCAA's ineffective oversight and advocates for congressional intervention to establish a national framework addressing these challenges.
