Whenever there are multiple bills addressing important issues, The Drake Group often does a comparative analysis of how they differ from each other in order to assist Congressional offices of the offices of state legislators in evaluating the merits of each approach. For the past three years, no issue has received more attention than NAME, IMAGE, AND LIKENESS (NIL). Federal and state legislation giving college athletes the right to monetize their own names, images, and likenesses as outside employment opportunities. Numerous state and federal laws have been filed and are either in the process of consideration (this is true with regard to the U.S. Congress) or have already been adopted by state legislatures.
