Texas NIL bill
This flies in the face of current NCAA rules, but doubtful the NCAA wants to see the inside of a courtroom again anytime soon.

Texas’ pending #NIL bill was sent to the governor for his signature today.
If signed, it will go into effect on July 1.
As a reminder, the bill provides that the NCAA cannot penalize a school for participating in or allowing activities authorized by the bill.

RE: Texas NIL bill
I'm not sure where this train is headed, but conflicting state NIL laws are likely to get the Federal Govt involved...which is rarely a good thing.

This part would not be valid. The NCAA is a voluntary association. If a school wants to do something outside of the MEMBER rules that they voluntarily agreed upon, then they have to take whatever punishment they get, or leave the association.

What's next, the Texas Legislature passing a law that the Dallas Cowboys don't have to follow the NFL Salary Cap?

It might be in this case. If there is any inclination whatsoever to preserving American college athletics, then the Feds have to get involved.
The NCAA model has been blown apart by SCOTUS, the incoming model would break the unique institution of college sports, the methods used to get us to pay-for-play per the NLRB arguments would extend to all other athletes at universities. There is a strong public support for fair compensation of athletes and there is strong support to not completely cripple the industry. These things can only be resolved with anti-trust exemptions and federal oversight.

No organization can pass rules in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The Alston SCOTUS decision should make that very clear. NIL is real and it's not going away.

RE: Texas NIL bill
A bill that is similar is about to be signed into law in New York as well, no doubt more states to follow.

A modified New York #NIL law would prohibit the NCAA from preventing colleges from identifying, facilitating, enabling, or supporting opportunities for athletes to earn NIL money.
It would also restrict the NCAA from penalizing a college for booster/collective activity.
