AI Summary

This bill aims to allow college athletes in Massachusetts to earn compensation from the use of their name, image, or likeness without affecting their scholarship eligibility. It prohibits athletic associations, conferences, or organizations like the NCAA from preventing student-athletes from entering professional drafts, returning to their college teams after being drafted, or obtaining professional representation. The bill also requires the establishment of a catastrophic sports injury fund to compensate student-athletes who suffer career-ending or long-term injuries during competition or practice. Additionally, it regulates athlete agents representing student-athletes, including requiring them to register with the state and comply with federal laws.
