The Biden administration recently issued guidance stating that payments to college athletes, whether through revenue-sharing agreements or NIL deals, must be equally accessible to male and female athletes in accordance with Title IX. This directive comes as discussions around the financial implications of NIL agreements arise. Despite private funding, colleges remain obligated to uphold non-discrimination among athletes. Some, like Texas Senator Ted Cruz, criticize this guidance, claiming it could adversely impact college sports by mandating equal pay despite disparities in revenue generation.
