"President Biden Engages Former College Football Stars in Tackling NCAA Challenges"

President Biden met with former college football players and advocates to discuss the rights and safety of college athletes, including the topic of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). The meeting aimed to explore policies that could benefit student-athletes while also being fair and equitable to the NCAA. Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick suggested giving athletes a special status that would allow them to unionize and collectively bargain without being classified as university employees.
