Considering you just did the Defector podcast, I hope this works: if I'm happy that college athletes finally have say over their NIL rights, then I should feel the same way about my daughter's image and likeness and guard them appropriately so she can make informed choices when she's capable of it.

I was told no one would watch college football if athletes got paid for their NIL. Wisconsin football ticket sales up ahead of 2023 season madison.com/sports/colle... via @madisondotcom

Whoa. Of course this will go through the appeal process, etc etc, but from this athletes can/will sue for benefits and non-NIL salary. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2024...

#NCAA Under Trump: What Could Change? 1️⃣ Further #NIL changes could reshape the landscape. 2️⃣ #Title IX changes affect gender equity. 3️⃣ Tax changes hit athletic funding. 4️⃣ #Immigration politics limit intl. recruits. For Germans it's clearly a factor. 5️⃣ Poss. visa changes impact athletes' eligibility.
