NJDuck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted February 13 It's already happening, Every State will eventually have this same type of law in place. A bill proposed in the Oregon House would amend the state’s law regarding college athlete name, image and likeness to prohibit the NCAA, conferences and any other athletics governing body from taking “adverse action” against an athlete or school due to actual or alleged violations of the governing body’s rules related to NIL. The measure would also permit NIL compensation to be contingent on an athlete attending a particular school and provides college and universities in the state and their employees with liability protections related to NIL activity. HB 4119 was read for the first time last week and a public hearing was held by the House Committee on Higher Education, which will hold a work session for the bill on Tuesday. The bill adds “athletic reputation” to the traits a college athlete can earn compensation from and looks to give liability protections to college and universities in the state, who would be permitted to participate in “identifying, facilitating, enabling or supporting opportunities for a current student athlete to exercise the student athlete’s” NIL rights without fear of penalty from the NCAA or other athletic governing body. As proposed, the bill would stop the NCAA or other athletics governing body from preventing a college or university or athlete from participating in college sports, “accept a complaint, open an investigation or take any other adverse action against” a school or athlete as the result of “a violation, or an alleged violation, of the rules or regulations of the athletic association, conference or organization related to a student athlete exercising the student’s (NIL) rights.” Proposed Oregon House bill would amend state NIL law to stop NCAA from penalizing schools, athletes for NIL activities WWW.OREGONLIVE.COM HB 4119 was read for the first time last week and a public hearing was held by the House Committee on Higher Education, which will hold a work session for the bill on Tuesday. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroBurst61 No. 3 Share Posted February 16 Yup. The amount of time, money, and resources that are going to be spent "litigating" all the intricate and problematic issues currently facing college football, that it will probably become a "branch of law", within the realm of athletic and educational institution law, all on its own. Attorney, courts, state and federal legislators are all going to be involved before it is mostly worked out by 2030 when all "contracts" regarding all aspects of college , er NFLite, football are to be reworked for the benefit of said league and it's participants. As a fan of OBD, my only real concern about all of this coming down the pike is that it doesn't hinder the trajectory of our current program. Yeah, kinda selfish. But, being a "fan" of OBD allows for a little bit of human frailties to slip through. And I am good with that. Go Ducks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
