The SCORE Act seeks to establish clarity in how college athletes benefit from their name, image, and likeness. It aims to replace the patchwork of state-level NIL rules, ensuring athletes are not classified as university employees and maintaining NCAA exemptions from some antitrust laws. Compensation will depend on team-generated TV revenues. Bipartisan support exists for the bill, although concerns have been raised regarding its impact on non-revenue sports and the rights of all athletes.
We all agree that student athletes deserve to be compensated for their contributions to college athletics, but the current environment is unsustainable and risks exploitation of student athletes.
The SCORE ACT preempts existing state-level NIL rules, prohibits student athletes from being recognized as university employees, and ties athlete compensation to how much TV revenue the team generates.
