Education department rescinds Biden memo that threatened to upend college NIL payments

The US education department is rescinding a Biden-era policy that would have subjected college athlete payments for name, image, and likeness (NIL) to federal Title IX rules. The Trump administration officials argued the policy lacked legal basis and was unfair. The Biden rule required NIL payments to be proportionate between male and female athletes, potentially disrupting current university plans favoring football and men's basketball players.
