Recently, Jake Dickert, the athletic director of the Washington State Cougars, has been discussing the university’s inability to compete in certain areas of name, image, and likeness regulations. The NCAA has recently announced that it will be allowing student-athletes to benefit from their name, image, and likeness, but the Washington State Cougars are unable to take advantage of this due to their state’s laws.
Washington State is one of the few states that has not yet passed legislation that would allow student-athletes to benefit from their name, image, and likeness. This means that Washington State Cougars are unable to take advantage of the new NCAA regulations. This puts them at a disadvantage compared to other universities that have already passed legislation allowing their student-athletes to benefit from their name, image, and likeness.
Dickert has expressed his disappointment in the state’s inability to pass legislation that would allow the Washington State Cougars to compete in this area. He believes that this puts the university at a disadvantage compared to other universities and that it could have a negative impact on the university’s ability to recruit top student-athletes.
Dickert has also stated that he is hopeful that the state will eventually pass legislation that would allow the Washington State Cougars to take advantage of the new NCAA regulations. He believes that this would be beneficial for both the university and its student-athletes.
