As Congress looks to craft legislation governing college athletes’ ability to cash in on their names, images and likenesses, Florida’s system could come under fire because it allows universities to set their own rules on the types of companies that can sign contracts with athletes.

A new Florida law lets college and university athletes profit from the use of their name, image or likeness. On July 1, the day Florida’s new law went into effect, Florida State University quarterback McKenzie Milton held a press conference at Miller’s Ale House to sign a contract with the company Dreamfield.
