NCAA, College Sports Commission handle NIL arbitration process amid disputes

The NCAA and College Sports Commission (CSC) are managing arbitration processes for student-athletes in light of rejected Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. Arbitration remains an option for athletes facing deal denials, with the CSC providing a pathway through its NIL Go platform. The arbitration process includes a selection of an arbitrator from an eight-person panel and requires action within 14 days of a deal's rejection. As of late May, the number of active arbitration cases has declined to two after a prior collective case involving Nebraska student-athletes was dismissed. An upcoming court hearing on June 10 could impact how arbitration cases are handled moving forward.
