Student-Athlete Endorsement Rights Act
(110 ILCS 190/20)
Sec. 20. Agents; publicity rights; third party licensees.

(h) No student-athlete shall enter into a publicity rights agreement or receive compensation from a third party licensee relating to the name, image, likeness, or voice of the student-athlete before the date on which the student-athlete enrolls at a postsecondary educational institution.

There was a lot of legislation passed after the court decision to try to get in front of this, both from a public relations and political point of view. But most of the legislation is just nonsense, just like the early days when it was going to be about players getting free meals in exchange for an Instagram post.

There are two possibilities. Either the NCAA can and does make a kid ineligible for college if he accepts benefits while in high school. It may or may not get litigated of course. But if that's the position of the NCAA then no legislation on the part of Missouri or any other state is going to change that eligibility requirement. Just like Missouri couldn't say that players with fewer core classes could be eligible.

The other possibility is that the NCAA doesn't care. In which case, no amount of legislation by Illinois or any other state can prevent a kid from getting money for his NIL.
