1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.704
>> COLLEGE SPORTS IS ABOUT TO GO
WHERE IT'S NEVER GONE BEFORE
WHERE AN ATHLETE CAN BE PAID FOR
USE OF THEIR NAME, IMAGE OR

2
00:00:04.704 --> 00:00:13.646
LIKENESS. IT'S A SEISMIC CHANGE
SOME SAY IS LONG OVERDUE, WHILE
OTHERS BELIEVE IT WILL RUIN THE
ESSENCE OF THE COLLEGIATE GAME.

3
00:00:13.646 --> 00:00:18.585
BILL BENNER HAS MORE IN THIS
WEEK'S INSIDE INDIANA SPORTS.
BILL.
>>

4
00:00:18.585 --> 00:00:23.056
THANKS, GERRY. INDEED, THE
COMBINATION OF THE SUPREME
COURT'S RECENT UNANIMOUS REBUKE
OF THE RULING NATIONAL

5
00:00:23.056 --> 00:00:29.062
COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
IN COMBINATION WITH INDIVIDUAL
STATES PASSING PATCHWORK
LEGISLATION REGARDING ATHLETE

6
00:00:29.062 --> 00:00:36.102
COMPENSATION PORTEND AN
ENVIRONMENT LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
AND JOINING US TODAY TO OFFER
INSIGHT IS KELLEIGH FAGAN, A

7
00:00:36.102 --> 00:00:43.777
PARTNER OF CCHA COLLEGIATE
SPORTS LAW, THE FIRST FEMALE LED
SPORTS LAW FIRM IN THE COUNTRY
AND HERSELF A FORMER

8
00:00:43.777 --> 00:00:51.751
STUDENT-ATHLETE AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF INDIANAPOLIS.
KELLEIGH, WELCOME.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.

9
00:00:51.751 --> 00:01:02.762
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME,
APPRECIATE IT.
>> BEFORE WE GET INTO THE ENTIRE
THING, GIVE ME A BRIEF ON NCAA,

10
00:01:02.762 --> 00:01:10.937
YOU WORKED IN THE PAST,
ESPECIALLY AS IT PERTAINS TO
COLLEGE SPORTS.
>> YEAH. WE WORK WITH NCAA

11
00:01:10.937 --> 00:01:16.910
INSTITUTIONS AND COACHES THAT
ARE INVOLVED IN NCAA SPORTS AND
REALLY ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES
NCAA COMPLIANCE AND WE'VE GOT A

12
00:01:16.910 --> 00:01:23.550
REALLY DIVERSE TEAM AND
SKILLSET. AND ENJOY GETTING TO
WORK IN THIS SPACE.
>> WELL, AND THE WORK IS GOING

13
00:01:23.550 --> 00:01:31.558
TO BECOME, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE
WHAT THE WORK WILL BECOME. THE
NCAA LEADERSHIP COUNCIL JUST
THIS WEEK DID PASS AND APPROVE

14
00:01:31.558 --> 00:01:38.965
NAME IMAGE LIKENESS, MEANING
THAT ATHLETES CAN NOW USE THEIR
NAME, IMAGE OR LIKENESS TO
GENERATE INCOME FOR THEMSELVES.

15
00:01:38.965 --> 00:01:45.672
AGAIN, AS WE SAID IN THE
OPENING, SOME PEOPLE SAY THIS IS
LONG OVERDUE, OTHERS SAY IT IS
GOING TO BE THE WILD WILD WEST.

16
00:01:45.672 --> 00:01:52.679
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?
>> YOU KNOW, I THINK -- I THINK
WE'LL PROBABLY SEE A LOT OF
ACTIVITY AT FIRST, THEN THINGS

17
00:01:52.679 --> 00:02:00.520
WILL NORMALIZE A LITTLE BIT. AND
PPEOPLE WILL GET USED TO SEEING
STUDENT ATHLETES THAT ARE
ENDORSING PRODUCTS ON SOCIAL

18
00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:09.863
MEDIA, OR LOCAL BUSINESSES, AND
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A
CHANGE, AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO
TRY TO WORK THROUGH SOME OF THE

19
00:02:09.863 --> 00:02:15.602
KINKS. I THINK OVERALL IT WILL
BE A GOOD THING FOR COLLEGE
SPORTS.
>> I THINK PEOPLE ARE REALLY

20
00:02:15.602 --> 00:02:22.709
AFRAID -- THE NCAA, IT'S A VERY
DIFFICULT TASK, ESPECIALLY THREE
DIVISIONS, AND A THOUSAND
SCHOOLS, HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN A

21
00:02:22.709 --> 00:02:31.584
LEVEL PLAYING FIELD AND HOW DO
YOU ENFORCE THIS NEW LANDSCAPE?
>> YEAH, THAT'S THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGE THAT THE NCAA HAS

22
00:02:31.584 --> 00:02:38.258
RIGHT NOW. I THINK THEY'RE GOING
TO CONTINUE TO PURSUE FEDERAL
LEGISLATION TO AVOID THAT
PATCHWORK APPROACH, AS YOU

23
00:02:38.258 --> 00:02:44.030
MENTIONED, HOPEFULLY EVENTUALLY
HAVE A UNIFORM LAW. IN THE
MEANTIME THEY'VE ESSENTIALLY
SAID IF YOU HAVE A STATE LAW

24
00:02:44.030 --> 00:02:51.437
THEN YOU NEED TO ABIDE BY THAT
STATE LAW AND STATES THAT DON'T
HAVE THE STATE LAW, THEN THEY'VE
GIVEN SOME GUARDRAILS AND

25
00:02:51.437 --> 00:03:02.215
PARAMETERS FOR COMPLIANCE. BUT
OTHERWISE, INSTITUTIONS IN THOSE
STATES ARE ENACTING THEIR OWN
POLICIES AND APPROACH TO NIL.

26
00:03:02.215 --> 00:03:10.490
>> AND INDIANAPOLIS, HOME TO THE
NCAA IS ONE OF THOSE STATES THAT
DOES NOT HAVE LEGISLATION FOR
NIL, DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT WILL

27
00:03:10.490 --> 00:03:19.132
OCCUR PERHAPS IN THE NEXT
LEGISLATIVE SESSION?
>> I DON'T KNOW, INDIANA IS
DEFINITELY UNIQUELY POSITIONED

28
00:03:19.132 --> 00:03:25.138
WITH AMATEUR SPORTS BEING SO
POPULAR AND PRESENT HERE. AND I
HAVEN'T HEARD OF A LOT OF
ACTIVITY ON IT FROM A

29
00:03:25.138 --> 00:03:34.080
LEGISLATIVE STANDPOINT THAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN. AND YOU'VE SEEN
SOME SCHOOLS IN INDIANA THAT
HAVE REALLY STEPPED OUT ON NIL

30
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:39.485
AND ARE BEING VERY ACTIVE AND
OTHERS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT
MORE CAUTIOUS ON THEIR APPROACH
TO IT.

31
00:03:39.485 --> 00:03:45.191
>> YEAH, KELLEIGH YOU MENTIONED
INDIANA UNIVERSITY FOR ONE
THING, IMMEDIATELY CAME OUT AND
SAID THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT

32
00:03:45.191 --> 00:03:56.069
THEY'VE BEEN WORKING TOWARD FOR
TWO YEARS. AND IT SEEMS TO BE
THE PROACTIVE APPROACH WOULD
CERTAINLY BE PRUDENT.

33
00:03:56.069 --> 00:04:03.009
>> YEAH. THEY'VE DEFINITELY BEEN
LEADING THE CHARGE ON THAT
FRONT. I'M SURE RECRUITS IN THAT
ENVIRONMENT ARE HAPPY TO SEE

34
00:04:03.009 --> 00:04:10.350
THAT, AND STUDENT ATHLETES SO
THEY KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE
THE SUPPORT FROM THE INSTITUTION
WHEN THEY GET THERE TO NAVIGATE

35
00:04:10.350 --> 00:04:15.722
THIS, BECAUSE STUDENT ATHLETES
ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH
THINGS AS NEVER BEFORE WHEN IT
COMES TO RUNNING A BUSINESS,

36
00:04:15.722 --> 00:04:23.229
SIGNING CONTRACTS, AND MANAGING
FINANCES.
>> KELLEIGH, ABOUT A MINUTE
LEFT. HOW DOES THIS AFFECT

37
00:04:23.229 --> 00:04:31.270
NON-MAJOR SCHOOLS, HOW DOES IT
AFFECT TITLE 9?
HOW DOES IT AFFECT DIVISION 2
AND DIVISION 3 ATHLETES?

38
00:04:31.270 --> 00:04:39.112
>> YEAH. THE -- THE POLICY FROM
THE NCAA IS OPEN FOR ANY
DIVISION. I THINK THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO -- WHILE THE BIGGER

39
00:04:39.112 --> 00:04:46.519
DEALS WILL PROBABLY BE FOR THOSE
ELITE PROSPECTS AT THE HIGHEST
LEVELS, YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF
WOMEN BENEFIT BECAUSE THEY'RE

40
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:53.626
VERY SAVVY ON SOCIAL MEDIA. AND
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE D2 AND D3
THAT CAN BENEFIT FROM IT AS
WELL. TITLE 9 IS GOING TO BE

41
00:04:53.626 --> 00:05:00.033
SOMETHING EVERY INSTITUTION HAS
TO CONFRONT AS THEY DETERMINE
HOW TO EQUITABLY PROVIDE SUPPORT
TO MEN AND WOMEN.

42
00:05:00.033 --> 00:05:07.206
>> WELL, KELLEIGH, AGAIN, THIS
IS GOING TO BE A
FASCINATING -- AS ALL OF THIS
ROLLS OUT, AND WE SEE IT TAKE

43
00:05:07.206 --> 00:05:14.147
EFFECT, IT IS GOING TO BE A
FASCINATING TIME IN
INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS.
THANKS YOU FOR BEING ON THE

44
00:05:14.147 --> 00:05:16.015
PROGRAM, WE KNOW YOU WILL BE
VERY, VERY BUSY IN THE
