January 24, 2022 Group Watch: Repeal of Alabama NIL Law Passes in the House
The discussion of the state’s NIL (name, image and likeness) law for college athletes that began in the first week of the regular session continued last week, with the House voting 97-1 to repeal Alabama’s NIL law. Some claim it was more restrictive that the NCAA’s own policy, which was adopted after the state passed its law. The NCAA’s rules also make the state law unnecessary. Repealing it should ensure Alabama colleges and universities remain competitive when recruiting athletes.
