Representative Carey’s work to bring forth consistent, national NIL regulations will further protect student athletes and bring order to NIL policies and procedures nationwide. However, NIL laws and regulations remain inconsistent from state to state. At Ohio State, our NIL programming assists student-athletes as they capitalize on their hard work, generate income for necessary expenses, and learn marketing and financial literacy skills. “I’m pleased that student-athletes now have the opportunity to benefit from their name, image and likeness. “This bipartisan effort will provide the national reforms and improvements that will get us there.” “For some time now, folks have been calling for greater NIL structure, transparency, and protections for student athletes,” said Congressman Landsman. I am thankful for my friend and colleague Congressman Greg Landsman’s support of this important legislation.” Through this legislation, we will grant student athletes the right to capitalize off their own name, image, likeness, while preserving the integrity of college sports for current and future college athletes.
“Conflicting NIL rules at the state level created an uneven playing field for universities and student-athletes. “The Student Athlete Level Playing Field Act will establish one federal standard for NIL, protect the college recruiting process, and bring transparency to the NIL landscape,” said Congressman Carey. The Student Athlete Level Playing Field Act was first introduced during the 117th Congress and has been updated to increase transparency in the process by establishing an FTC clearinghouse in which NIL deals worth over $500 must be uploaded. This legislation is an essential step in creating an even playing field for everyone involved in NIL deals. Washington, DC – Today, Representatives Mike Carey (R-OH-15) and Greg Landsman (D-OH-1) introduced the Student Athlete Level Playing Field Act, a bipartisan bill to create one federal standard for Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) in college sports.Ĭurrently, differing state laws have created a confusing NIL environment for student-athletes, universities, and businesses to navigate.
