Florida updates NIL legislation to remove legal restrictions

The state of Florida updated its NIL legislation on Thursday, pulling back on restrictions while allowing universities to provide additional entrepreneurial workshops to their players.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed HB 7B: Intercollegiate Athlete Compensation and Rights into law with Florida State football coach Mike Norvell, Florida football coach Billy Napier and players from both schools in attendance.

"This is an important and necessary step in the NIL process to bring us more in line with what is happening around the country," Florida State athletics director Michael Alford said. "... We will always make what is best for the student-athlete our top priority.
