Texas Governor Greg Abbott signs bills to boost education and industry.

Texas has passed a new bill that allows for NIL reform, which will come into effect on July 1, 2023. The bill provides cover for state schools from being punished by the NCAA for any NIL-related violations. This will aid football powerhouses Texas A&M and Texas in recruiting high-profile athletes. The NCAA is pushing for federal reform, but different programs with different budgets and boosters will impact where recruits head in the new NIL era.
