The State of Florida has voted to repeal and adjust its Name, Image and Likeness law
On Friday, the Florida Senate voted 34-0 to send the bill to Governor Ron DeSantis’ desk for him to sign, just a day after the Florida House voted 113-0 in favor of the new language for how NIL is conducted in Florida.
The main change comes in the form of allowing universities to take on a greater role in facilitating deals for their student-athletes. Previously, school officials weren’t permitted to be involved in the process of NIL dealmaking, causing confusion and, in the eyes of many officials, putting Florida universities at a disadvantage when it came to the new world of college athletics.
