Texas legislators are joining the national push to enact laws giving college athletes rights to cash in on their name, image and likeness just in case the NCAA fails to move forward, reports Hookem.com.
House Rep. Matt Krause (R-Fort Worth) has filed legislation for the upcoming session that would allow athletes at Texas, Texas A&M and any other institution in the state to work with an agent and sign legal contracts.
Legislators in California and Michigan are already advancing similar bills.
