On Wednesday, the state of South Carolina passed a Name, Image and Likeness bill that now waits for the Governor to sign into law.
The new bill will eventually help college student-athletes in South Carolina receive compensation for their Name, Image and Likeness, but it is not going to help Clemson in the immediate future.
Even if Gov. Henry McMaster signs the bill, the law would not go into effect for a year to see if the NCAA itself or Congress settles the matter first. The bill is proposed to go into law on July 1, 2022.
