The upcoming legislative hearing on NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) will feature four witnesses, including NCAA president Charlie Baker, UCLA QB and NIL entrepreneur Chase Griffin, Missouri Valley Conference commish Jeff Jackson, and Radford volleyball player Meredith Page. Griffin's written testimony advocates for athlete compensation without federal oversight, emphasizing the potential impact of NIL on student-athletes' lives. The hearing is expected to bring fresh ideas and may challenge the NCAA. The hearing, part of the ongoing debate on NIL, aims to address the implications of NIL laws at both the college and high school levels. Griffin also highlights that NIL operates seamlessly across states, despite variations in state laws.
Good quote from UCLA QB Chase Griffin: "For most of us, NIL is not Lamborghini money, but it could mean a down payment on our first homes and a new pathway to the American dream." Noted NIL has gotten a "bad wrap" on Capitol Hill because of "nefarious" pay-for-play perceptions.
UCLA QB Chase Griffin, a witness at the Congressional hearing, shoots down the suggestion that differences in state-by-state NIL laws are problematic. He has 40 NIL deals across 12 states, he says. NIL “seamlessly operates across the country," he tells lawmakers.
Another Congressional hearing on #NIL & we have some thoughts… https://t.co/pPVdX5bgUa
Checking in from the 11th Congressional hearing on NIL and such things. The hearing started a few minutes ago and we've already had two "Go Blue"s. And one reference to the "wild west."

Just read the written testimony from UCLA football player @ChaseQB11 and ASU sports historian @historyrunner for tomorrow's NCAA hearing in Congress. They will bring educated, fresh ideas. Have a feeling tomorrow's hearing is going to have a tone the NCAA may not like.
