President Livingstone testifies in front of Congress regarding NIL

By Marquis Cooley | Sports Editor

President Linda Livingstone testified in front of Congress Thursday morning in Washington, D.C., to discuss problems regarding many of the challenges facing intercollegiate athletics.

The legislative hearing for the U.S. House Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce of the Committee on Energy and Commerce was named “A Level Playing Field: College Athletes’ Rights to Their Name, Image and Likeness.”

Following the Supreme Court’s decision on June 30, the NCAA Board of Governors voted unanimously to implement an interim policy to allow college athletes to be compensated for the use of their NIL.
