Ep. 112: The Battle over NIL Compensation (aka, NIL, MMR, CSC and the NCAA) with Rakesh Kilaru, Outside Counsel for the NCAA

from SportsWise: A Podcast About Sports and the Law

Send us Fan Mail On this episode, we dive back into the wild world of college sports with the NCAA's lead outside counsel, Rakesh Kilaru. Over the last year, NIL deals totaling over $240 million have been cleared by the College Sports Commission, in addition to the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been shared directly with college athletes by the schools. But we are in the midst of a battle over NIL enforcement centered on whether there should be any limits on how MMR partners, like Playfly and Learfield, pay athletes and whether the new revenue sharing cap will actually hold. We also get into eligibility lawsuits and why the Sports Broadcasting Act may not be the easy money fix some think it is. Thank you for listening!
