Former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville to introduce NIL regulation bill
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey and Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff traveled to Washington, D.C., in May to push Senators for federal NIL regulation. That push appears to have paid off. Former Auburn football coach turned U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville announced Wednesday he’s leading the drive to regulate Name, Image and Likeness on a federal level.
Tuberville, now an Alabama senator, told Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger that he intends to draft a bipartisan NIL bill with fellow Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
“I’ve talked to all my [coaching] buddies. They’ve never seen anything like it,” Tuberville told Sports Illustrated. “When you don’t have guidelines and direction, no matter what you are doing, you are lost. They are all lost right now.”

Re: Former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville to introduce NIL regulation bill
Like laws are going to actually regulate what players will get paid. Players have been paid under the table for decades. That's not stopping. Only difference now will be there is a "floor" for what everyone has to offer above the table (NIL max) and then there's the old auction process under the table. That cat is out of the box, it isn't going back in.
