Saady Writes About Athlete NIL And IP Developments

Pryor Cashman lawyer Nicholas Saady and NYLS NIL Pro Bono Project Co-President Ben Radisch co-wrote an article for Sports Business Journal looking at the state of play for name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights for college athletes and colleges themselves.

In "A booth review of NIL development and the NCAA's grip on athlete IP," Nick and Ben note that "a federal court in Tennessee issued a temporary injunction suspending enforcement of NCAA rules prohibiting prospects and potential transfers from communicating about and entering NIL deals with third parties – including with collectives and boosters," which is part of "a chain of events which have chipped away at the NCAA's power over the monetization of athletes' NIL and IP."
