North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper rescinds 2021 executive order on college athlete NIL profit guidelines.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper rescinded a 2021 executive order that set guidelines for college athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL). The move follows a federal judge barring the NCAA from enforcing NIL rules in a case involving Tennessee and Virginia. The rescinded order aimed to provide a standard for individual institutions as they formalized their own NIL policies and procedures.
