Abstract
A rising 3L at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law is one of 10 law students nationwide—and the first IU student ever— to receive the Sports Lawyers Association’s Student Writing Competition Award.
Amelia Taylor won the honors for her work “A Critical Analysis of Name, Image, and Likeness Policies and Their Implications for International Student-Athletes.”
While American student-athletes have been allowed to earn compensation through NIL deals since July 2021, international student-athletes have faced major hurdles due to immigration laws and policies.
“I chose to focus on international students’ NIL rights because this issue is often overlooked, with media and politicians focusing on higher-profile topics like athlete compensation, employment, and recruitment/inducements,” Taylor said. “Despite the attention these issues receive, they do not address the unique challenges faced by international students.”
