Expanding access to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL)
Expanding access to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL)
On and off the court, Jaz Shelley is a star for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) basketball team. Jaz earned firstteam All-Big Ten honors for her electric play. She earned Academic All-Big Ten honors for her work in the classroom. She’s beloved with fans and teammates alike. Like many players, she receives requests from businesses and nonprofits to lend her name, image, and likeness (NIL) in support of a local business or work a summer camp for kids. But unlike most of her teammates, Jaz is prohibited from saying yes to these opportunities.The reason? She’s from Australia.This week, I introduced legislation to give international student-athletes like Jaz access to the same NIL opportunities her teammates have. 10/26/2023 03:00 AM
