Nick Saban among SEC leaders heading to Washington, D.C., to lobby for federal NIL regulation​

Alabama coach Nick Saban is among a group of SEC coaches and administrators set to visit with lawmakers in Washington, D.C., next week. The convoy is expected to vouch for federal regulation regarding name, image and likeness (NIL) compensation among college athletes, the AP reports. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey will join Saban at the forefront of the group that includes university presidents, athletic directors and lobbyists.

An SEC-hosted reception for lawmakers and congressional staffers is planned for June 7 before the SEC contingent meet individually with congressional members from states within the conference's footprint on June 8. The visit will mark the latest effort by leaders in the college sports landscape to universally regulate NIL realm.

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville makes plea for federal NIL regulation, calls current system 'a disaster​

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville called the current patchwork of state laws governing collegiate name, image and likeness (NIL) compensation for college athletes a "disaster" in a video released to USA Today. Tuberville, a former college football coach with stints at Ole Miss, Auburn, Texas Tech and Cincinnati, said he planned to meet with constituents from across college sports Wednesday in Washington, D.C., to address the situation.

"Today we are meeting with coaches, athletic directors and administrators from several different conferences here in Washington, D.C., talking about the disastrous new NIL rules. And they are a disaster," Tuberville said in the video.

Tuberville wants athletes to have the opportunity to earn NIL compensation but believes the current system is rife with abuse. He is working alongside West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin to draft a bill addressing NIL regulation.

These kids better have proper legal representation when being approached on these deals. I'm shocked more predatory stuff like this hasn't came out yet.

This is the main word! I’m sure it has, but also hasn’t made headlines. And though some kids who come from solid homes, and parents that will get them the legal representation they need, many kids from lower income homes are so happy to get a check for their talents, or have predatory “friends/family” That are so happy to sign anything on their behalf for a check.

It’s the fucking IRS they better be careful of.

Most kids, good home or bad, have zero concept of money and taxes. Johnny Five Star might just be thinking he actually gets all of that 7 figure promise if no one teaches him any better.
