11 states enacted laws for college-athletes to earn pay for use of their name and image. Texas is likely next. But a federal reform is needed: "Lawmakers at both the state and federal level hoped that there would be a new national standard set by now." dallasnews.com/news/politics/…

To reform college sports, we encourage Congress to build on common ground. Pass legislation to let athletes earn pay from sponsors for their name, image, likeness, plus apprenticeships and training from employers. Expand opportunity for all athletes. usatoday.com/story/sports/c…

Governing Magazine created an interactive map and database of what states have and have not passed reforms to college athlete pay. Both the NCAA and most reformers are aiming for consistent federal standards rather than a state-by-state approach. governing.com/now/states-mov…

In 2018, 5x Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecky left college sports early to go pro. NCAA rules preventing pay were costing the star swimmer millions in endorsement deals. Fixing those rules can help athletes make the most of their college years. athleticbusiness.com/rules-regulati…

Toni Harris, the first Black woman to play college football on scholarship, starred in a 2019 Super Bowl ad. Harris played in the NAIA (a league for smaller schools) which, unlike NCAA, lets athletes be in sponsor ads. NCAA should adopt that policy. espn.com/espnw/culture/…

One-quarter of NCAA athletes have experienced food insecurity. Letting athletes earn pay from endorsements, sports-related internships, and apprenticeships can help students, especially from low-income families, make ends meet. Congress must pass reforms to college athlete pay.
