This course will examine the current state of Name, Image and Likeness (\"NIL\") in college athletics, including the legal basis for college athletes' ability to secure agent representation and enter into paid collective and revenue sharing agreements, whether college athletes should be considered employees, and whether collective bargaining is a potential solution for certain sports and athletes. We will examine NIL through the lenses of higher education, athletic departments and athletes.
