President Donald Trump's administration rescinded Title IX guidance put forth by former President Joe Biden that would have resulted in significant changes to Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) in college athletics, the Department of Education announced on Wednesday.
In former President Biden's final days in office, the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights issued guidance related to Title IX that stated that revenue-sharing payments from schools to athletes must be "proportionately" distributed to men and women athletes. If the revenue-sharing payments did not get distributed equally between men's and women's sports, schools would be in violation of Title IX.
