Both chambers of the Texas Legislature have approved a sweeping new name, image and likeness bill. It now awaits Governor Greg Abbott’s signature. It would go into law on July 1.
Here’s On3’s analysis of the bill: “The new Texas legislation includes a number of provisions that are school and student-athlete friendly. But the most notable change appears to provide cover for state schools from being punished by the NCAA for any NIL-related violations, including any committed by collectives that have been set up to support student-athletes through deal facilitation.”
That includes the Texas Longhorns’ Texas One Fund.
