New Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti says properly integrating USC and UCLA is an 'absolute priority' and calls for a 'national system' for NIL across college sports.
Petitti, who helped create the Bowl Championship Subdivision as an ABC executive in the 1990s, said he’s excited for the forthcoming playoff expansion in college football and doesn’t think it will water down the sport’s regular season.
Petitti expressed his support for student-athletes’ ability to earn money from NIL, but said he wants to see federal legislature put in place. Petitti cited the nationwide scale of both the Big Ten and college athletics as a whole and said having discrepancies in NIL policy from state to state “doesn’t seem to make sense.”
“And so that’s why the collaboration is so important, that’s why federal legislation, there’s a lot about what you’ve been reading about over the last few months, because it’s the best solution. State-by-state doesn’t seem to make sense for a system that competes the way that we do.”
