Alabama Senate passes bill on ‘name, image, likeness’ compensation for college athletes AL.com 39 mins ago Mike Cason, al.com
A bill saying that college athletes can receive compensation for their name, image, and likeness moved closer to becoming law in Alabama today.
The Alabama Senate approved the bill by Rep. Kyle South, R-Fayette on a 26-0 vote. The Senate added an amendment and sent the bill back to the House, which could give it final passage and send it to Gov. Kay Ivey, who could sign it into law.
The legislation comes as the NCAA prepares to adopt rules that will allow student athletes to profit off their names, with certain limitations, while still competing at the collegiate level. The NCAA’s board of governors has approved the concept. In January, the NCAA’s Division I Council postponed a decision on adopting rules to govern the name, image, and likeness compensation.
