COLLEGE SPORTS
Bill would compensate Oregon athletes for use of name, image, likeness
BY JAMES CREPEA
The Oregonian
The latest proposed state legislation
to permit college athletes in Oregon to
be compensated for their name, image
and likeness was scheduled for its first
public hearing Thursday afternoon.
Although the University of Oregon
and Oregon State University are sup-
portive of athletes being able to profit
from what’s known as their NIL, the
schools are opposed to the bill, which
also calls for “royalty payments to
each student athlete who is a current
member of the team” related to an
athletic department’s merchandising
and apparel agreements.
Senate Bill 5, sponsored by Sens.
Peter Courtney, D-Salem, and James
Manning Jr., D-Eugene, would allow
college athletes in the state to earn
compensation for use of their name,
image or likeness and to retain rep-
resentation related to those oppor-
tunities so long as their agent didn’t
represent the school in the prior four
years. It would not allow athletes to
enter into contracts that conflict with
“team rules” or contracts between the
athletes’ school and third parties that
pertain to when an athlete is engaged
in official team activities (i.e., conflict-
ing apparel providers while playing),
and would require “royalty payments
to current members of team” from
a school’s merchandise and apparel
deals and “royalty payments plus pre-
mium to current or former member
of team whose name, image or like-
ness is used.”
If passed, the bill would go into ef-
fect immediately, with Oregon college
athletes able to earn NIL compensa-
tion beginning July 1, the same day
that numerous similar laws are set to
go into effect in a growing number of
other states.
Courtney, the Oregon Senate Pres-
ident, crafted the proposed legislation
and made it clear his intention is for
all athletes on college teams to be able
to earn a share of the apparel deals,
which is the unique and controversial
aspect of the bill compared to those in
other states.
“You have to start with the stu-
dent-athlete and end with the stu-
dent-athlete or you’re not going to
make any movement here,” Courtney
said. “That’s why the NCAA is bogged
down because these big institutions, if
you start up there, you’re not going to
get there.
“I have long felt … that this is an
abomination.”
Manning, whose district includes
the University of Oregon, views the is-
sue in terms of equity and equality for
“You have to start with the student-
athlete and end with the student-
athlete or you’re not going to make
any movement here. That’s why
the NCAA is bogged down because
these big institutions, if you start
up there, you’re not going to get
there. I have long felt … that this is
an abomination.”

Oregon Senate President
all athletes, particularly those who are
minorities and women. He cited how
former Ducks women’s basketball star
Sabrina Ionescu, now with the New
York Liberty, was not able to profit
from her name, image or likeness
during her college career.
“They’re still using her likeness and
her image; it’s directly tied towards U
of O,” Manning said. “She’s not bene-
fiting from that at all but the univer-
sity certainly is. … These students are
being taken advantage of and there’s
no compensation.”
Both UO and OSU support the
overarching issue of college athletes
Masters
Continued from B3
Twice a runner-up, including a
playoff loss to Sergio Garcia four years
ago, Rose tied a Masters record by
taking at least a share of first-round
lead for the fourth time. The other to
do that was Jack Nicklaus. The differ-
ence? Nicklaus went on to win two
of his six green jackets from that po-
sition.
Rose likes to say he’s only had one
arm in the jacket.
Brian Harman, the last player to
get into the 88-man field, and Hideki
Matsuyama were wrapping up their
rounds of 69 about the time Rose
began on a course that was dry and
crusty, on greens that were so fast
there were splotches of brown.
Among those at 70 were former
Masters champion Patrick Reed and
Masters newcomer Will Zalatoris. Jor-
dan Spieth overcame a triple bogey
from the trees on No. 9 for a 71.De-
fending champion Dustin Johnson,

who set the record last year at 20-un-
der 268, failed to break par for the
first time since the opening round in
2018. He three-putted for double bo-
gey on the 18th for a 74.

ters in November, and then they’re
walking out there today wondering
what the hell is going on,” Kevin Kis-

being compensated for their NIL, an
issue being addressed by a growing
number of state Legislatures, Con-
gress and the NCAA. Oregon Sen.
Ron Wyden is among the co-sponsors
of the College Athlete Bill of Rights in
Congress.
But both UO and OSU are opposed
to Senate Bill 5 in its current form.
“The University of Oregon sup-
ports the ability of its student-athletes
to benefit from the use of their name,
image and likeness,” the university
said in a statement to The Oregonian/
OregonLive. “Our interest lies in mak-
ing this a reality in the most efficient
way possible, and one that best serves
all student-athletes. We believe a na-
tional solution is the best approach
that would support student-athletes
equitably regardless of the institution
or league for which they compete. We
are working with the Pac-12, other
conferences, and members of Con-
gress to accomplish this goal.”
The royalty payments from apparel
contracts in the proposed legislation
are what differentiates Senate Bill 5
from similar bills and laws across the
country.
Courtney said he’s confident that,
if the bill passes, schools in the state,
apparel providers like Nike, which
has contracts with both UO and OSU,
and the Higher Education Coordi-
nating Commission would be able to
“figure out how to do it in a very fair
and meaningful way and a in way that
really can promote themselves and
promote students” for what would be
pioneering merchandising deals in
college athletics.
But the lack of specificity regarding
this aspect of the proposed legislation
is concerning to UO and OSU.
“Royalty language in the bill is
vague and makes it difficult to assess
how the legislation would actually
be implemented, or what would be
the impacts on athletic departments,
including non-revenue generating
sports and Title IX requirements,”
OSU acting president Edward Feser
said in a statement.
OSU athletic director Scott Barnes
said the school “enthusiastically sup-
ports” its athletes being able to benefit
from their NIL and “the OSU Athletic
Department is well-positioned to as-
sist student-athletes in maximizing
opportunities that result from state or
national legislation.”
A request for comment from UO
athletic director Rob Mullens was re-
ferred to the university’s statement.
Nike did not immediately return
a request for comment regarding the
proposed bill.
This was no surprise. Augusta Na-
tional has not had rain in more than a
week, and players could not recall the
last time greens were this fast.
“It’s my 10th year, but I’ve never
seen the greens so firm and fast,” Mat-
suyama said. “So it was like a new
course for me playing today, and I was
fortunate to get around it well.”
And what to say of Rose? Even in
more forgiving conditions, he had
never done better than 67.
“I didn’t feel like today was the day
for a 65, if I’m honest,” Rose said.
No one needed convincing, least
of all Bryson DeChambeau and Rory
McIlroy, among top players who
struggled with the wind and had just
as many problems when the ball was
on the ground.
DeChambeau, the U.S. Open
champion who has been licking his
chops about bringing his super-sized
game to Augusta National, didn’t
make a birdie until the 15th hole and
shot 76, his highest score as a pro at
the Masters. Patrick Cantlay hit into
the water on both par 3s on the back
nine and shot 79.
“Guys are going to shoot them-
selves out of the golf tournament on
day one,” Webb Simpson said after a
late double bogey forced him to settle
for a 70.
McIlroy, needing a green jacket to
complete the career Grand Slam, hit
his father with a shot on the seventh
hole. That was about the most inter-
esting moment in his round of 76.
Rose looked as though he might be
headed that direction. He made a soft
bogey on No. 1.
He three-putted across the green
on No. 7. He was 2 over, though not
ready to panic. He knew it was tough.
He also knew he was headed in the
wrong direction.
“You can’t win the golf tournament
today. Even with a 65 you can’t win it
today,” Rose said. “You can only prob-
ably lose it today, obviously. I reset
just prior to that and thought if I can
get myself back around even par, that
would be a good day’s work.”
