USA Today’s Steve Berkowitz reported on Saturday afternoon that NCAA President Mark Emmert will meet with United States Senators and Congressmen next week about name, image and likeness legislation.
This comes on the heels of several states including Florida and Georgia signing bills into law that allow college athletes to receive compensation for sponsorships.
The latest bill in Georgia goes into effect on July 1 this year and there has yet to be a national standard regarding the NIL.
South Carolina passed a bill in the state house and senate but Governor Henry McMaster has yet to sign it into law.
