The NCAA's annual convention, set to start tomorrow, will prominently feature discussions on NCAA President Charlie Baker's proposal to allow schools to pay athletes for their name, image, and likeness (NIL). As detailed by EricPrisbell, the proposal faces challenges, including Title IX issues and difficulties in consensus building. The NCAA Division I Board of Directors has empowered the Division I Council to begin creating specific recommendations for the NIL element of Baker's proposal, aiming to fast-track the legislation. However, the future of the proposal remains uncertain, as expressed by Georgia President Jere Morehead. Additionally, a draft federal bill that would prohibit NIL deals was introduced today. Baker is slated to appear at a House subcommittee legislative hearing next week to discuss the proposal, which has garnered bipartisan support from Rep. Gus Bilirakis, Rep. Debbie Dingell, and Sen. Ben Ray Lujan.
