Executive Summary:With respect to a potential NIL model, we recommend eight main points, including that: (1) NCAA legislation should defer to state and national high school associations for pre-enrollment rules; (2) a third party administrator (TPA) should monitor agent involvement; (3) the TPA should affirm fair market value for all NIL deals; (4) a sophisticated registrar, through the TPA, should regulate all booster involvement; (5) institutions should have the discretion to limit NIL activities based on the values of their institution; (6) institutions should play a limited role in the NIL model; (7) student- athlete autograph sales should not be overregulated; and (8) a TPA should be established to manage the NIL process.
