Abstract

The article argues that federal Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights legislation is essential to maintain the amateur/educational model of intercollegiate sports, preserve the distinction between college and professional athletics, and ensure competitive balance. It emphasizes the need for national uniformity to prevent conflicting state laws and address antitrust concerns.
