Nebraska football fans and the rest of the college sports world should be very worried about a piece of NIL legislation making its way around Congress.
NIL has been a hot topic among Nebraska Cornhuskers fans in the last few years. It’s mainly been a hot topic when it comes to Nebraska football. Some of the news is good news, and some of it is bad.
One of the most consistent and accurate complaints is that the NIL world is sort of the Wild West these days. There are very few consistent rules from one conference to another, and the NCAA is primarily powerless to step in when there’s actual conflict because various states around the country have their own laws and regulations governing how NIL can be handled.
