Oregon, Oregon State support NIL, oppose current proposed Oregon bill

By James Crepea, The Oregonian/OregonLive: The latest proposed state legislation to permit college athletes in Oregon to be compensated for their name, image and likeness (NIL) is scheduled for its first public hearing this afternoon and though the University of Oregon and Oregon State University are supportive of athletes being able to profit from their NIL, the schools are opposed to the bill, which also calls for “royalty payments to each student athlete who is a current member of the team” related to an athlete department’s merchandising and apparel agreements.

Bill would compensate Oregon college athletes for use of name, image, likeness; UO, OSU support principle but oppose proposal

If passed, the bill would go into effect immediately with Oregon college athletes able to earn NIL compensation beginning July 1, the same day as numerous similar laws are set to go into effect in a growing number of other states.
