§ 17:3701 — Legislative intent

§3701. Legislative intent
The legislature finds that intercollegiate athletics provide intercollegiate athletes with
significant educational opportunities. However, participation in intercollegiate athletics
should not infringe upon an intercollegiate athlete's ability to earn compensation for the
athlete's name, image, or likeness. An intercollegiate athlete must have an equal opportunity
to control and profit from the commercial use of the athlete's name, image, or likeness, and
be protected from unauthorized appropriation and commercial exploitation of the athlete's
right to publicity, including the athlete's name, image, or likeness.
