<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA (Aug. 10, 2021) — When the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced its decision to allow athletes to profit from the commercial use of their names,
images or likenesses (NIL), the move opened up a Pandora’s Box of legal implications for student athletes, many of whom cannot afford to hire an agent or attorney to represent their interests leaving them vulnerable.</span><span style="color:#201F1E"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black">Shipman said as of July 1, 2021, there are virtually no restrictions on collegiate athlete’s ability to profit from the commercial use of their NIL while enrolled as students and eligible
to play sports. Consequently, whether participating in so-called revenue sports or other sports, young athletes at all levels are being inundated by companies, individuals, marketing agencies and self-identified agents to “do deals.” </span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#201F1E"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black">“The NCAA has left administration of NIL to its member institutions, which are suddenly faced with potentially conflicting requirements of their own sponsor contracts, alumni and boosters
and literally thousands of individual student athletes,” he explained. “Several state legislatures have passed NIL legislation and are developing related regulatory schemes, but the majority of states, including North Carolina, have yet to do so. Many observers
think that Congress will eventually step in with a national regulatory system with clear enforcement rules. But that will take some time, and in the interim, the futures of vulnerable and typically unrepresented young people are potentially compromised.” </span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#201F1E"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
