The Uniform College Athlete Name, Image, or Likeness Amendment Act of 2025 amends section 215 of the Uniform College Athlete, Name, or Likeness Act of 2022. The bill allows institutions, conferences, or athletic associations to assist college athletes in selecting and arranging for name, image, or likeness (NIL) agents, as well as in collecting payments from third parties involved in specific NIL agreements. Additionally, the bill removes the previous prohibition against institutions or conferences providing compensation to college athletes for the use of their name, image, or likeness.
Specifically, the bill introduces new provisions that enable support for college athletes in their NIL dealings, while repealing subsection (e) of the original law, which likely contained the restrictions on compensation. This legislative change aims to enhance the opportunities available to college athletes in monetizing their personal brand and engaging with agents and third parties in a more supportive environment.
