Wisconsin Senate Passes Bill to Pay Off Athletic Debt, Enable NIL Payments: The University of Wisconsin-Madisons athletic department secured a narrow victory in the state Senate, passing a bill that allows the use of state taxpayer money to pay off millions in debt. This move frees up funds for revenue sharing with student athletes under name, image, and likeness (NIL) rules. The bill, tied to Assembly Bill ten thirty-four and Senate Bill ten seventy-five, passed by a single vote after a key senator switched his vote. The measure sets up a special fund to handle these payments without directly using public dollars for athlete compensation. The bill now heads to a conference committee to iron out differences between the House and Senate versions.
