威斯康星州参议院在17-16的投票结果中,通过了一项法案,每年拨款1460万美元给麦迪逊大学以支付运动设施债务,为学生-运动员名字,形象和相似性 (NIL) 的补偿提供资金. The Wisconsin Senate narrowly passed a bill allocating $14.6 million annually to UW-Madison to cover athletic facility debt, freeing funds for student-athlete name, image, and likeness (NIL) compensation, after a 17-16 vote. 法律还每年向绿湾大学和密尔沃基大学提供20万美元,免除了NIL的交易公开披露并澄清它们不是就业关系. The legislation, which also provides $200,000 yearly to UW-Green Bay and UW-Milwaukee, exempts NIL deals from public disclosure and clarifies they are not employment relationships. 该法案在众议院获得两党支持通过，目前正交由州长托尼·埃弗斯审理，围绕公共资金的使用和透明度展开辩论。 It passed with bipartisan support in the Assembly and now heads to Governor Tony Evers, amid debate over public funding use and transparency.
