Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill creates certain restrictions on higher education institutions, including
the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System and its institutions, the
Technical College System Board, district boards, and technical colleges, and private
colleges (collectively, “institutions”); student athletes; student organization
members; and students' professional representatives in relation to compensation for
the use of student athletes' and student organization members' name, image, or
likeness. In the bill, “student athlete” is defined to mean a student at an institution
who participates in an intercollegiate sport. “Intercollegiate sport” is defined as a
sport played at the collegiate level for which eligibility requirements for
participation are established by an athletic organization, but does not include a
recreational, intramural, or club sport. “Student organization member” is defined
to mean a student at an institution who participates in an institution-affiliated
student organization.
