An Act relative to college athlete compensation

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to allow college student-athletes to earn money from the use of their name, image, and likeness without losing their athletic scholarships. It prohibits schools and athletic organizations, including the NCAA, from stopping athletes from getting paid for commercial deals or from hiring professional agents and lawyers to help negotiate those contracts. The legislation also requires athletes to disclose such agreements to their schools and sets specific rules on what types of compensation are allowed or forbidden to ensure compliance with national athletic regulations.
