Tim McMurray: NIL Rules Will Be Helpful for TAMUC, Division II Athletes

Texas A&M-Commerce Athletics

Texas A&M-Commerce Athletic Director Tim McMurray says the Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) rules recently passed by the NCAA will allow A&M-Commerce and other Lone Star Conference and Division 2 athletes to make money on their social-media accounts that sometimes have nothing to do with athletics. He says that Texas universities have agreed to "guardrails" that will place the athletic programs on an even footing.

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
