Colorado lawmakers to weigh in on transparency and privacy in student-athlete contracts

Colorado Politics: On Thursday, the House Education Committee will take another look at a bill intended to hide from the public information on the money paid by public colleges and universities to their student-athletes for use of the athlete’s name, image and likeness (NIL).

It’s a growing issue within college athletics, with student-athletes who perform well on the field or the court on the verge of earning millions of dollars, both from colleges and universities and the NCAA.
