Sens. Cory\u200b Booker (D-N.J.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and Jerry Moran (R-Ks.) announced on July \u200c20th the introduction of a bill that focuses on an athlete&#8217;s name,\u200d image, and\u2062 likeness (NIL).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Fight for Fair Compensation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For years, college athletes have been fighting for \u200bfair compensation, as the \u2063NCAA has prohibited them from receiving money \u200cfrom sponsorships and other income streams that professional athletes enjoy. However, in\u200c 2021, the Supreme Court ruled that this \u2062NCAA prohibition\u200d was unlawful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The College Athletes Protection and \u2062Compensation Act of 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The College Athletes\u2064 Protection and \u200dCompensation Act \u200bof \u20622023\u2064 aims to address these issues. The bill proposes the creation of the College Athletics Corporation, which \u200bwould oversee \u2063NIL\u2064 contracts made \u2063with college athletes. It would also\u2063 allow athletes to\u200d receive assistance in managing their brand.\u2062 Importantly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/heres-what-each-of-bidens-42-executive-orders-will-actually-do\/\" title=\"Here\u2019s What Each Of Biden\u2019s 42 Executive Orders Will Actually Do\">higher education institutions<\/a> would not be allowed to \u2062serve as or influence such representation. The bill would also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-introduce-bills-defending-female-athletes-and-parental-rights\/\" title=\"Republicans Introduce Bills Defending Female Athletes and Parental Rights\">protect student-athletes<\/a> from\u2062 being disciplined \u2064for receiving benefits from outside parties, with a \u2063few\u200d exceptions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Supporting Student-Athletes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The measure would\u200c establish a \u200bMedical Trust Fund\u2062 to cover \u200cstudent-athletes&#8217; out-of-pocket\u2063 medical costs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bipartisan-senators-introduce-bill-to-protect-college-athletes\/\" title=\"Bipartisan Senators propose bill for safeguarding college athletes.\">including major long-term conditions<\/a>. Additionally, colleges and \u200duniversities would be required to provide assistance to student-athletes\u2064 until\u200b they graduate, even if they are no longer\u2062 on\u2063 a team due to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-nfl-running-back-ryan-grant-puts-up-bail-for-accused-nypd-cop-shooter-nelson-pizarro\/\" title=\"Former NFL Running Back Ryan Grant Puts up Bail for Accused NYPD Cop Shooter Nelson Pizarro\">career-ending injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transparency and Equal \u200dOpportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The bill\u2062 would\u2063 also mandate colleges and universities to report their athletics programs&#8217;\u200d expenditures and revenues, as well as the academic performance and majors of their athletes. Scholarships could be revoked for students who perform poorly academically, transfer to \u200canother institution, or fail to meet certain requirements. Furthermore, the legislation would prohibit retaliation against student-athletes for\u2063 entering professional sports leagues. \u200dFinancial literacy\u2063 education would also be\u200c required for student-athletes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equal Access and NCAA&#8217;s Response<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The \u200cbill would ensure equal access to services and facilities for male and female\u2062 student-athletes\u200b during \u200btournaments. The NCAA expressed its appreciation for Congress&#8217;s involvement in\u200c the NIL issue and stated its\u2064 support \u2062for student-athletes profiting from their\u200b name, image, and\u200c likeness \u2063rights. The NCAA looks forward to working with stakeholders\u2062 to advance student-athletes&#8217; \u200binterests and improve their well-being.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Senator Moran praised the rich history of his home state&#8217;s collegiate athletic\u2062 programs\u200c but emphasized the need \u2063for student-athletes to benefit.
