Another roadblock to NIL transparency

Believe it or not, these universities mentioned in the article below are against free speech and transparency. They are arguing against disclosure and clarity. They do not want others to see what their athletes are being paid. Ironically, the University of Utah will host the 2024 Presidential Debate in October 2024 and is willing to provide an open environment for the candidates for U.S. president to discuss the most important issues of the day, but they are unwilling to provide simple basic information about their student athletes.

As I and others have noted before, what we really need is a federal system that requires all of these NIL deals to be completely disclosed and not hidden behind these rules. These schools could require the athletes to voluntarily disclose this info but do not. The federal government could do so, too, but does not. The conferences could require them to do so but do not. 

Several bills have been introduced in Congress, and many states have enacted some form of NIL legislation.  But the patchwork has created confusion and uneven standards.
