The UConn policy is on the Board of Trustees agenda for its Wednesday meeting. According to a letter from athletic director David Benedict to the Board, UConn’s policy will become effective July 12. <- -> Schools in the state can begin following the law before the end of the year. UConn, which pushed state lawmakers to act during the recent session, had been drafting its policy and the school is on the verge of announcing an agreement with a third-party company that will offer guidance and education for both the school and the athletes. <- -> Endorsement contracts must be disclosed to the school prior to “performing any activity or service under the agreement.” The agreement cannot “conflict with the provisions of any agreement to which the University is a party.” Also prohibited is the use of UConn branding when performing NIL services and the NIL work cannot interfere with “any official team activities or academic obligations.” <- [/QUOTE]
