Richmond Statement on NCAA Updated Policies for Student-Athletes | 2019-10-29 | 2019 | 2019-10 | Democrat | House | LA | Cedric Richmond | R000588 | richmond.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. Congressman Cedric Richmond (LA-02) issued the following statement after the NCAA announcement updating their policies in support of student-athletes: The NCAA's decision to modernize and update their policies to allow student-athletes to benefit from their name, image, and likeness is a necessary step forward, said Rep. Richmond. Since its inception, the NCAA and collegiate sports programs have profited immensely off of student-athletes who have worked tirelessly to balance their sports and academic obligations. By leveling the playing field, we can begin to create a more mutually beneficial environment for all parties. I'm pleased the Student-Athlete Equity Act, a bill Rep. Mark Walker and I introduced this year, moved this conversation in the right direction with equitable action. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
