As Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) regulations continue to transform the landscape of college athletics, how are universities, lawmakers, and student-athletes adapting to these changes?
Join the Bob Graham Center Student Fellows on Wednesday, November 20, at 5:00 PM at the Hawkins Center for a thought-provoking panel discussion that delves into the rapidly evolving world of NIL.
