College Sports Lurches Forward, Hoping to Find Level Playing Field

Programs in the nation’s top four athletic conferences have agreed to implement new nationwide regulations starting July 1, 2025, to oversee payments related to athlete name, image, and likeness rights.
This agreement responds to varied state laws allowing different payment levels, aiming to prevent schools from bypassing College Sports Commission rules amid potential court challenges.
The CSC, supported by a Deloitte-run clearinghouse called NIL Go, will oversee payment limits, evaluate third-party deals over $600, and enhance spending transparency using data from LBi Software.
Deloitte revealed that about 70% of NIL deals since 2021 would be denied under the new system, while leaders like Trev Alberts emphasize the need for a stable, fair system to avoid legal disputes.
This system aims to unify rules across states and conferences to ensure fairness and reduce litigation, with leaders expressing hope for a national law governing NIL payments.
