Abstract

This Note explores the evolving legal landscape surrounding student-athlete monetization of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights, highlighting the inconsistency of current state and institutional regulations following the Supreme Court's NCAA v. Alston decision. It argues for the adoption of uniform federal legislation to address disparities caused by the current patchwork of laws, proposing a framework rooted in the Olympic Model that balances student-athlete autonomy, amateurism principles, and institutional integrity. By examining existing federal and state legislative efforts, this Note underscores the urgency of clear and comprehensive federal NIL guidelines to foster fairness and compliance in collegiate athletics.
