What SB1296 means for student athletes:
Governor Doug Ducey recently signed SB1296, which is the Arizona legislation which legalized Arizona student athletes being compensated for their name, image, and likeness. The Revised Uniform Athlete Agents Act governs contracts between student athletes and athlete agents. The act: 1) outlines required provisions in a student athlete’s contract; 2) requires notification to be given to the educational institution at which the student athlete is enrolled; 3) allows the student athlete to cancel the contract within 14 days of signing; and 4) prohibits certain athlete agent conduct, including providing materially false or misleading information, with the purpose of getting a student athlete to enter into a contract.
Rose Law Group works with student athletes and their families to make sure all issues and potential pitfalls are addressed.
