Section 5: Federal preemption vs state authority

Select any text below to highlight a passage — the composer opens in the panel on the right.

A federal NIL framework that preempts the worst state-by-state divergences without erasing state authority where it works.

• Federal floor: transparency, minor protections, cross-border, dispute resolution.
• State authority preserved: tax treatment, in-state recruiting, education-related accommodations.
• Preemption only where state divergence creates a race-to-the-bottom.

Not a federal takeover. A federal floor with state ceilings.
