the law does incentivize local athletes to stay home for college by allowing high school athletes to earn money for their NIL as soon as they sign a letter of intent, as long as that institution is in the state of Missouri.

Kids from Link Academy in Branson can start getting paid 6 months sooner if they choose Mizzou. 7 of the state’s top 8 player’s go to Link. Start paying kids from KC and St Louis should be great for in-state football recruiting too.

With Missouri head coaches Dennis Gates, Robin Pingeton and Eliah Drinkwitz, along with Athletic Director Desireé Reed-Francois showing support at the Capitol on Tuesday, the Missouri House of Representatives passed an amended House bill 417 that will change the state's Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) law.

quote:
Once signed by Gov. Mike Parson, the law will allow college coaches, administrators and other athletic department employees in the state to help athletes find and negotiate compensation for NIL deals. Third parties, like NIL collectives, will also be able to help athletes find and facilitate those agreements.

quote:
The new law also gives legal backing to coaches who help athletes find and cash-in on NIL deals. It makes it illegal for institutions to "uphold any rule, requirement, standard or other limitation of an athletic association or athletic conference" that may punish a student-athlete by not allowing them to play for participating in NIL.
