Wisconsin University Secures NIL Bill, Averts Athletics Cuts; Governor Evers Expected to Sign
The University of Wisconsin-Madison celebrates as the state Legislature passes a bill regulating name, image, and likeness deals for student-athletes, delivering nearly $15 million in annual state funding for debt relief. The bipartisan effort, praised by Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin and Athletics Director Chris McIntosh, protects all 23 Badger sports, including Olympic and womens programs, and creates more NIL opportunities. The funding shields deal details from public records, matching current privacy practices. Amid nationwide instability in college sports, UW-Madison hopes this step brings stability for big projects like a $285 million practice facility.
