Clemson took its turn on Capitol Hill Wednesday.
Clemson Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich was one of seven people who spoke during a hearing before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on “Protecting the Integrity of College Athletics.” During his time in front of the Senate, Radakovich said that Congress needs to step in and take action regarding impending name, image and likeness (NIL) rights for collegiate student-athletes.
The Senate Committee on the Judiciary is chaired by U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
In April, the NCAA Board of Governors supported rule changes in each division to allow student-athletes to receive compensation for third-party endorsements both related to and separate from athletics.
