Thursday was a pretty momentous day for the state of Missouri in the NIL landscape. State lawmakers signed an amendment to Missouri’s name, image and likeness law (SB 718). The press release details:
The state’s NIL law has been amended to permit members of the University, including coaches, to assist in seeking out third-party NIL deals. Coaches and University officials cannot receive compensation for this work, nor serve as representation to student-athletes nor attend meetings between the student-athletes and the third-party. Additionally, Mizzou Athletics will be required to provide yearly financial development education to its student-athletes.
