New York’s new NIL law is a win for Syracuse athletics

A few months ago a number of Syracuse Orange fans declared that the University wasn’t willing to do what it needed in today’s NIL landscape.

That opinion should be changed a bit by a New York law that was passed thanks to a large push from Syracuse. New York Governor (and Syracuse alum) Kathy Hochul signed the modified law which adds another layer of protection for New York colleges.

New York's modification to its #NIL law, which takes effect immediately, says that the NCAA can't even open an investigation concerning a school in NY for involvement in an athlete's NIL.
