Significant news out today from the US Dept. of Ed, which classifies future revenue distributions from a school to an athlete for his/her NIL rights as “financial assistance,” which “must be made proportionately available to male and female athletes” or risk violating Title IX.

The Department of Education goes hard, even targeting NIL compensation from some third parties, specifically those affiliated with boosters."The fact that funds are provided by a private source does not relieve a school of its responsibility" for Title IX compliance.
