Athletics committee asks board to review name, image and likeness policy draft ahead of Saturday vote
Summary
Athletics staff presented a three-and-a-half-page draft name/image/likeness (NIL) policy and asked board members and legal counsel to review it; the committee plans to recommend approval on Saturday unless concerns are raised.
Athletics staff told the committee they have a three-and-a-half-page draft procedure on name, image and likeness (NIL) and revenue sharing that the Athletics Committee would like the board to approve at the Saturday meeting unless members raise objections. Speaker 4 described the draft as "pretty generic" and said the team wants it approved while the board is meeting on Saturday; he encouraged committee members and any lawyers present to review the document before then.
Speaker 5 added that the procedure addresses name and revenue-sharing mechanics, that it reflects a state-mandated requirement that the board approve the policy, and that the draft predates the institution's settlement. Committee members were asked to study the draft and to raise concerns in advance if they have them.
The staff presentation did not include the full policy text in open session beyond those descriptions and did not record a formal vote on the policy during this meeting. The committee intends to move the draft forward to the Saturday board session for formal consideration.
