Statement made after UNLV QB walked off the team for saying he was promised things and those promises were not kept.


"We continue to see evidence of dysfunction in today’s NIL environment, including examples of promises made but not kept to student-athletes… Just as anyone that owns stock or buys a house is afforded basic consumer protections, it's clear that student-athletes entering NIL contracts should be too. That’s exactly why we provide student-athletes with a template contract and recommended, fair terms through our new NIL Assist platform. https://nilassist.ncaa.orgWhile we’d love to see these resources used to protect student-athletes in every NIL deal, it’s not something the @NCAA has the authority to mandate. In the meantime, we’re continuing to advocate for Congress to create national NIL guidelines that will protect student-athletes from exploitation, including the use of standard contracts."----Charlie Baker
