Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Enrolled athletes can earn from name, image, likeness

Beginning July 1, 2025, enrolled college athletes in Nevada can be paid for their name, image, or likeness by an outside group, their school, or the athletic association. Any deal cannot conflict with the athlete’s school contract. Schools cannot enforce association rules that block this pay.

School pay and limits on name, image, likeness

Beginning July 1, 2025, schools may pay current enrolled athletes for name, image, or likeness. The athletic association may not bar a student from playing, or a school from membership, just because the student is paid by an outside group, the school, or the association. Schools and associations still cannot pay prospective student athletes. Schools may set reasonable rules that block deals that conflict with the school’s mission, and may bar pay for name, image, or likeness tied to official team or school activities.

Name, image, likeness deals: disclose and private

Beginning July 1, 2025, if you sign a paid name, image, or likeness contract, you must disclose it to your school. The school must keep these contracts, related messages, and materials confidential. They are not public records. If the school claims your deal conflicts with your school contract, it must tell you and, if you have one, your lawyer.
