In this episode of the California Sports Lawyer Podcast, host Jeremy Evans explores the evolving name, image, and likeness (NIL) landscape in college athletics and the growing need for structure and consistency.

Often described as a "wild west", the current NIL system raises questions around governance, competitive balance, and long-term sustainability. This episode examines what a more unified framework could look like, including clearer rules, stronger oversight, and the potential role of a centralized commissioner within a new governing entity.

As college sports continue to professionalize, the conversation focuses on why new leadership and a new structure may be necessary to bring stability, accountability, and credibility to the future of NIL.
