Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4063043, member: 1131"] This brings up another legal/policy issue. NIL stands for "name/image/likeness", which seems like a more limited concept than saying, "It's fine if athletes earn money in any way imaginable." Is it now OK for an athlete on a basketball scholarship to have a job in the university library or a dormitory kitchen? What about a paid job ("internship") with a law firm in Storrs? Or a no-show job at a car dealership, which is provided solely because the car dealer is a basketball fan and wants to put some spending money in the athletes' pockets so that more of them will come to UConn? I didn't think that NIL opened up these kinds of opportunities. I thought (and still think) that it is limited to obtaining royalties for the use of the athlete's name, image, or likeness. The examples above do not involve that. [/QUOTE]
