Congress is best situated to establish a universal NIL policy while still leaving room for individual institutions to exercise some degree of flexibility. Although pre-Alston attempts at federal regulation failed, the discussion is riper now than ever before, and the issues that are merely potential “what-ifs” now will only become more serious if a uniform regulation is not soon created. As such, to address potential issues with state NIL laws and liberal transfer policies, Congress should pass a federal statute giving college athletes broad authority to control their NIL rights. In addition to outlining a nationwide NIL policy, this new federal statute should create the Collegiate Student-Athlete Committee (“CSAC”) under the Office of Postsecondary Education in the U.S. Department of Education as the body responsible for promulgating, administering, and enforcing regulations pursuant to the statute.
