From OutKick.com….
Mississippi is moving forward with its effort to allow its student-athletes to be compensated for their name, image and likeness — also known as NIL. A big step was taken in that direction on Wednesday, as Governor Tate Reeves signed a bill into law allowing just that.
According to a tweet from Dennis Dodd with CBS, Mississippi is now the second state — joining Florida — that has a bill going into effect on July 1. In total, seven states have passed such a law.

Interestingly enough, Ross Dellenger with SI Now recently did a piece on how state decisions could impact recruiting. With Florida and Mississippi looking to get a head start on NIL, what advantages will that give them?
