The NCPA identified 21 key aspects of state NIL laws that can be either helpful or harmful to college athletes’ freedoms. A state with an NIL law that is helpful to college athletes in every category would score 100%, while a state without an NIL law or with an NIL law that harms college athletes’ freedoms in all of the categories would score a 0%. Currently, the states’ NIL ratings range from between 43%-90%.
