Legislators will want to know costs, who pays, what are the parameters, and how such is administered, and how the policies are enforced. This could release antitrust suits, which is a matter for the courts.

You have factions saying the NCAA governing this is inappropriate, while the P5 isn't fully separate and is not comprehensively organized enough to deliver unity and consensus for such a profound undertaking. They wànt Congress to fix the endeavor for them.

Congress has power with the federal military academies, not so much in dictating to state and private colleges in terms of new programs (athletics) for student employment/compensations. Certainly the U.S. Departments of Education and Labor need to weigh-in. Eugene Scalia at Labor may provide an opinion. Good luck finding a brilliant response from Betsy DeVos.

With all due respect---none of that has one thing to do with NIL legislation. I also would have to say NIL legislation has certainly passed the "concept: stage. Its actual state legislation in several places---none of which currently matches one another. There needs to be a uniform national standard or the patchwork of differing state NIL laws will cause more issues than they solves.
