New York attorney general Letitia James joined a bipartisan multi-state coalition in a lawsuit to challenge the NCAA's restrictions on prospective student-athletes’ ability to earn money and benefit from their name, image, and likeness.

According to a release on the official website of the AG's  office, the NCAA’s NIL rule prevents student-athletes from reviewing NIL compensation offers before enrolling in a school, restricting students from fully understanding the options available to them before making a decision. The lawsuit alleges that the NCAA’s NIL rule reduces competition among universities and limits student-athletes’ earnings and their ability to choose a college that meets their athletic and career goals. The release continues that in order to stop this unfair practice, the coalition is seeking to require the NCAA to drop its rule banning the use of NIL as a recruiting incentive.
