No it only removes the additional restrictions based on what I read

 

[PUNCICANE]

So that means no NIL

it just means they're editing their current state laws to be on par with other states

I read another article. The only thing they did (or even can) was lift Florida government restrictions on NIL. In other words more not less NIL Money for players.

The bill, if passed, does 3 things:

1. requires schools to add a workshop for financial literacy, life skills, basically what to do with your money;
2. protects teams/coaches from a liability standpoint in the event they bench a kid and it impacts his NIL; and

3. (WHICH IS THE BIG ONE) allows the school to be directly involved with NIL. Still no pay for play, but the schools can be involved.

The Florida House of Representatives quickly approved a bill Thursday that would effectively repeal the state’s name, image and likeness (NIL) law.


The 113-0 vote during the special session was uneventful and without public objection. The bill, HB 7B, next moves to the Senate, where it’s also expected to face little opposition. An identical bill (filed in the regular session) breezed through a Senate committee Wednesday.



“This bill,” its sponsor, Rep. Chip LaMarca, said, “will allow Florida to remain competitive with every other state that our collegiate athletes compete against while ensuring that we prepare them for their future, possible opportunities and most importantly the tools to make them successful in promoting their individual brand — their name, image and likeness.”


Florida is not competitive, the Republican from Lighthouse Point has argued, because Florida’s law is more restrictive than some other states. Specifically, it prohibits coaches, schools and support organizations from directing name, image and likeness compensation toward players. That could be a disadvantage in recruiting — one that also means fewer opportunities for state athletes. Teams and coaches will still have to follow NCAA rules, which ban pay-for-play deals, paying players directly and using NIL offers as recruiting or retention inducements.

We're making progress so these guys can get earlier access to their NIL I see, good ****

 

[TC@ne]

For those too lazy to read: this makes us more like Texas and Cali with NIL, as we should have already been.

Nice to see that doing what’s in the best interest of a future generation can still be bipartisan.

 

[Mikeiavelli]

So does this harm or help our opposition...like FSU and The Turds? They use collectives. This still keeps collectives as actually against the rules right?

it would help if you people read the article

You know **** well that’s asking way too much...
