Apr 6, 2023

Welch Suggs, an associate professor of journalism at the University of Georgia and a former reporter at The Chronicle of Higher Education joins the podcast to look at the state of the name, image, and likeness (NIL) landscape for student athletes and college campuses. Where do we stand since the NIL era began in 2021? Which students are benefitting from these contracts? How much money are they making? And with no central authority regulating NIL, will Congress step in?
