Navigating NIL: Tom Walsh breaks down the changing game for college athletes

In this episode of The Indiana Lawyer Podcast, host Alexa Shrake sits down with Ice Miller Partner Tom Walsh to discuss the evolving landscape of Name, Image, and Likeness in college athletics. Walsh, a Purdue University alum and founding member of the Boilermaker Alliance collective, explains how NIL rules have changed since 2021 and what the proposed legal settlement means for universities, athletes, and collectives. The conversation covers revenue sharing, scholarship changes, fair market value evaluations, and legal implications for student-athletes. Walsh also offers insights into how NIL prepares athletes for life beyond college sports and where this area of law might be headed.
