NIL rights allow college athletes to make money on sponsorships while in school.

Currently, the NCAA does not allow prospective student-athletes to discuss NIL opportunities with schools before they enroll in college.

In the suit, Miyares says the current rules violate anti-trust laws and unfairly limit student-athletes. He filed today's lawsuit alongside the Tennessee Attorney General.
