UK’s Calipari and Barnhart voice support as NIL bill passes out of Ky. Senate committee

“I think it’s a model bill,” Calipari said. “I think other states will look at this bill and say ‘Wow.’ I also think the federal government will look as they start to deal with this.”

From the standpoint of competing with schools in other states, there are some elements that will help UK keep pace with the programs that schools like Ohio State just started putting in place.

If passed, UK will now have the ability to act as a facilitator and help interested third parties secure NIL deals with student athletes. Whether UK can do that well remains to be seen, but it at least affords them additional leeway to try.

Don't want it, but understand the desire to have model formula. I think without a rule, we can do whatever. Rules are for what you can't do.

True but rules also act to minimize chaos.

It’s does not matter what UK does unless it’s national. Players will just flee to states less regulatory

Know the law we need on nil? None. We don't need one. NCAA covers the issue by allowing nil. The executive order restricts it in ways that heavily favor schools. Now the legislature want to tinker further.

Don't pass a law. Revoke the eo. Voila we have the same open market as a handful of other leading states. Of course that doesn't allow political pandering and photo ops, so it'll just end up a disaster.
