## Resource

A third-party arbitrator ruled against eighteen Nebraska football players in their appeal over rejected name, image, and likeness deals. The College Sports Commissions new NIL Go review system, established after the House versus NCAA settlement, deemed the deals lacked a real business purpose and involved warehousing. Playfly, the multimedia rights company arranging these deals, was also deemed an associated entity, facing tough scrutiny. Nebraskas athletic director and CSC CEO praised the players and the system, respectively. This ruling will shape future NIL submissions and is set to be challenged in federal court in May.
