College athletics, and especially football, has been a spawn for community in many places. They act as an incredible unifier.
While most of the college athletics landscape is still figuring out how to manage NIL and its complicated implications, the state of Missouri and its flagship of Missouri has jumped ahead of the curve., outlining guidelines for the responisibilities of university athletic departments and athletes's rights to legal representatives and agents.
"One of the things that I really like about it is the alignment that it took between the athletic department, the university and the state to make that happen, and what that could also mean for our continued future in this environment." "We've added a set of external factors," Sankey said, "the litigation that presses in, state-level legislation, conversations with Congress, and the emergence of the next great idea that is sold or pitched as something that will quickly and fully resolve the issues currently faced in college sports."
