Tennessee approved a law to exempt athletes from parts of the forthcoming House v. NCAA settlement deal, thus functionally uncapping earning potential for college athletes in the state.
Thought I’d give this a morning repost since it’s significant news. In a nutshell, Tennessee schools and athletes won’t have to adhere to the House settlement’s limits and restrictions on paying/receiving NIL compensation under the terms of this new law.
Tennessee now has the most athlete friendly NIL law. It appears to prohibit all of the House settlement’s limits on NIL comp (salary cap, collective restrictions, etc.) unless they’re part of a federal law, valid court order, or determined to be exempt from antitrust law.
