  A Miamisburg state legislator is proposing a bill making it legal - for the first time in history - for Ohio's college athletes to earn money from their name, image and likeness, regardless of what NCAA rules say. Such opportunities could include sponsorships, endorsements, social media influencing, private lessons and autograph sessions, under the bill proposed by Republican state Sen. Niraj Antani. A bedrock of the NCAA's amateurism identity has been that its athletes do not profit financially from their status as athletes. Momentum for reform has been building for years, though, and similar bills already passed in other states - coupled with the inaction of the NCAA - forced the hand of Ohio and other states that could be left behind.

Antani expressed confidence the bill will pass despite the fast six-week timetable for its effective date of July 1. That date is not coincidental. Five other states - including some with college football powerhouses - have name, image and likeness laws set to take effect on July 1. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and New Mexico have already passed laws that take effect that date. A bill making its way through the Texas state legislature could also go into effect on that date. Other states that passed laws that go into effect later are reportedly considering moving up their effective dates as well. - Cleveland Plain Dealer
