In early April, the Oklahoma House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed Senate Bill 840 by a vote of 84-5. The bill drew national attention because it included a section that appeared to provide cover for Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Tulsa and other state schools from being punished by the NCAA for any NIL-related violations, including any committed by collectives that have been set up to support student-athletes through deal facilitation. Fast forward a few weeks and now a similar bill – House Bill 2804 – is making its way through the Texas House of Representatives.
quote:
“An athletic association, an athletic conference, or any other group or organization with authority over an intercollegiate athletic program at an institution to which this section applies may not enforce a contract term, a rule, a regulation, a standard, or any other requirement that prohibits the institution from participating in intercollegiate athletics or otherwise penalizes the institution or the institution ’s intercollegiate athletic program for performing, participating in, or allowing an activity required or authorized by this section.”

That law looks like it’s just made the NCAA sanctioning teams in Oklahoma illegal.
Of course I dont Know how they could enforce it

Government shouldn't be involved in this on either side.

I’m saying based on the quote it doesn’t look like just NIL cover

This law is unnecessary. Kavanaugh's opinion in the Alston case neuters the NCAA's ability to do anything of consequence.
