While the landscape of college athletics is ever changing, and with the introduction of Name Image and Likeness, the rules within the sports and professional sports becomes very murky.
Michigan State tennis player Matt Forbes won the 2024 USTA National Boys’ 18s championship, earning him a spot in the US Open. Now, despite the new rules in the NCAA where Forbes can make NIL money, he will have to forfeit his prize money for playing in the US Open.
Makes no sense that he could make $100k in NIL at Michigan St but will have to forfeit $100k prize money for first round of the US Open https://t.co/M7TEzb5Qkg
