Adam Bialek (Partner-New York, NY) and Dara Elpren (Associate-New York, NY) were published in the July–August 2025 issue of NIL Institutional Report regarding the Executive Order aimed at college sports and the latest decisions in retroactive NIL compensation lawsuits. “Change is likely,” say the authors, “and has already been seen with athletes moving more freely through the transfer portal and elite athletes selecting schools based on their ‘NIL packages.’ Yet college sports continue to garner higher attendance and ratings, and show no signs of slowing. It may, however, take years to see the impact on smaller schools, the lesser-known or non-revenue sports, as well as women’s sports, and to see whether the president’s Order helps to ‘save’ college sports.”
