More states with teams in the SEC are moving toward removing the prohibition of schools from directly or indirectly arranging for a third party to provide compensation to a student-athlete through NIL.
According to the Louisiana State Legislature, Sen. Patrick Connick authored a bill that would allow schools, their affiliates and boosters to compensate student-athletes for use of their NIL. The proposal moved out of the House Education Committee Wednesday. It is one step closer to Gov. John Bel Edwards’ desk.
Missouri is also on the verge of amending its NIL bill.
