There has been a flurry of activity in the name, image, likeness (“NIL”) arena over the past several months. We previously discussed the NCAA’s about-face decision to permit student-athlete compensation, as well as related ongoing state and federal efforts, here, and the NCAA NIL Working Group’s recommendations here. Recently, the NCAA’s formal approval of its proposed rule permitting NIL compensation for certain endeavors by student-athletes was stymied by a January 8, 2021 letter from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. In the letter, then Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim cautioned that the NCAA’s planned approach to regulate NIL “may raise concerns under the antitrust laws.”

In a virtual interfaith seminar meeting earlier this school year, a Black student from St. Benedict s Preparatory School in Newark, New Jersey, shared that he d been followed by a police car while skateboarding through a park in a sweatsuit. He realized from that day on that if he s ever going to be skateboarding in the park, he needs to watch what he s wearing, said Daniel Bank, another student in the seminar, from Rae Kushner Yeshiva High School in Livingston.
Because Bank is white, he said, he knows he would not seem suspicious to a police officer were he to do the same thing. The disparity made an impression on him. With instances like that, you can see this line that separates what white people and Black people can do, not because of anything except for the color of their skin, Bank said.
