On July 1, 2021, a combination of state law changes and an NCAA waiver allowed college athletes to begin receiving compensation for their right to publicity (including their name, image and likeness) without losing their collegiate eligibility. Sports lawyer Malik Jackson talks with Chris Dix about the practical impact of those changes for athletes, parents, coaches, colleges and universities. Malik also discusses differences between rules adopted by different institutions (e.g., University of Florida vs. University of Alabama vs. Florida State University).
