Robert Seiger, an immigration attorney who represents dozens of professional athletes, likes to joke that, with the possible exception of tax law, he's got just about the most boring job in sports.
Perhaps that's why Seiger's particular niche in the sports world seems to have been completely overlooked as states rush to pass new laws allowing college athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness (NIL). The new laws, of which at least a half-dozen are set to take effect in July, provide a framework for domestic college athletes to make money from things like endorsements, autographs or hosting camps.
