Abstract

The article examines the tension between student conduct codes and constitutional rights in the context of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) regulations. It discusses how recent changes allowing college athletes to profit from NIL activities have led to various state laws and institutional policies that restrict endorsement opportunities based on moral and reputational concerns. These restrictions raise significant First Amendment issues, particularly regarding commercial speech, as they may limit athletes' rights to engage in lawful endorsements. The article argues for the need for a federal NIL policy to ensure equitable treatment of athletes and to address the competitive disadvantages created by varying state regulations.
