CU, lawmakers celebrate new state law supporting student-athlete Name, Image and Likeness

University of Colorado Athletics hosted a special luncheon to recognize the many people who were instrumental in passing HB25-1041, a new state law that allows universities to compensate student-athletes for their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights, while also providing student-athlete privacy protection of that compensation. CU President Todd Saliman, CU Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz and Athletic Director Rick George all spoke to express their gratitude for the hard work in getting the bill passed.
