## Resource

Nebraska Football Players NIL Deals Denied, Setting Precedent in College Sports The College Sports Commission secured a victory in its first arbitration case, upholding the denial of $7.5 million in name, image, and likeness deals for eighteen Nebraska football players. These deals, brokered through the schools multimedia rights partner, Playfly, were flagged under new rules requiring third-party agreements over $600 to go through the NIL Go clearinghouse. Nebraska became the first program to reach full arbitration on this issue. Athletics director Troy Dannen and College Sports Commission CEO Bryan Seeley asserted that no wrongdoing occurred, with Seeley calling the ruling a testament to the systems effectiveness. Nebraska is now resubmitting the deals with adjustments to comply with the rules, aiming for approval as associated entity deals. State law serves as a safeguard, ensuring no penalties for valid NIL payments. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
