college athlete pay

Florida's original name, image and likeness law bans colleges and universities from steering deals to athletes. State lawmakers will soon lift that ban.

Typically, a special legislative session focuses on just one—maybe two—subjects. This time, lawmakers are tacking a full slate of issues.

A House panel wants to eliminate a restriction on schools and employees causing “compensation to be directed” to student-athletes and lessen disparities in packages allowed by other states.

People involved in athletics say Florida is somewhat of an outlier in preventing schools from helping athletes secure deals through the name, image, and likeness (NIL) law.

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.
