Lisa Kihl, Ph.D., sport management associate professor in the School of Kinesiology, was quoted in today’s Minnesota Daily on the new bill introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives to establish protections for student athletes who enter agreements with agents. The bill expands on existing legislation, the Uniform Athlete Agents Act, which was passed by the legislature in 2002. Kihl says the proposed legislation also provides an opportunity for student athletes and their families to be informed while making decisions. “It’s a big decision to go the pro route,” Kihl said in the article. “It’s important you have time to sit down and talk with family members.”
