On January 23, 2020, I had the honor of testifying before the Michigan House of Representatives Oversight Committee in support of House Bills 5217 and 5218, which grant college-athletes the right to benefit from their name, image, and likeness without losing eligibility.
Thank you to Representatives Iden and Tate for sponsoring these bills and inviting me to speak.
I will be following up with posts on why states should pass legislation that is effective now (California’s doesn’t take effect until 2023) and why the NCAA’s efforts are only reactionary and will likely be the bare minimum.
