伊利诺伊州罗斯蒙特讯 —— 十大联盟校长理事会周三批准了一项规则，限制成员学校参与安排第三方NIL（姓名、形象和肖像）协议，以预期国会通过一项将规范大学体育的法案。
ROSEMONT, Ill. — Big Ten Conference chancellors and presidents approved a rule Wednesday limiting member schools’ involvement in arranging third-party NIL agreements in anticipation of the passage of a bill in Congress that would regulate college sports.
参议院于9月28日以压倒性多数通过了两党共同推动的《保护大学体育法案》，该法案现正等待众议院投票，众议院定于11月9日复会。该法案将在运动员报酬飙升、校际转学近乎不受限制的背景下对大学体育进行规范。
The Senate passed the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act by a wide margin Sept. 28 and it now awaits a vote in the House of Representatives, which is scheduled to reconvene Nov. 9. The bill would regulate college sports at a time of skyrocketing athlete payments and near-unrestricted transfers between schools.
十大联盟的这项规则将其18所成员学校为运动员安排的第三方姓名、形象和肖像协议限制在不超过2750万美元，直接收益分享限制在2200万美元，总额上限约为4900万美元，反映了《保护大学体育法案》立法中概述的经济框架。
The Big Ten rule limits its 18 schools to no more than $27.5 million worth of arranged third-party name, image and likeness agreements for its athletes and another $22 milion in direct revenue sharing for a total capped at approximately $49 million, reflecting the economic framework outlined in the PCSA legislation.
该规则即时生效。联盟表示，对任何违规行为将处以不断升级的经济处罚和其他纪律措施。
The rule takes effect immediately. The conference said escalating financial penalties and other disciplinary measures will be imposed for any violations.
十大联盟校长理事会主席、印第安纳大学校长帕梅拉·惠滕表示：“在我们等待《保护大学体育法案》通过之际，该法案获得我们的全力支持，成员院校必须能够开始依据该法案的经济结构进行规划、预算和阵容建设，这至关重要。我们的院校依然全力支持《保护大学体育法案》，这项规则不仅能在法案通过后实现更平稳地过渡到法案确立的政策，也展示了我们对该法案的承诺。”
“While we await the passage of the Protect College Sports Act, which has our full support, it is imperative our member institutions can begin to plan, budget and build their rosters approximating the act’s economic structure,” said Indiana University president Pamela Whitten, chair of the Big Ten Council of Chancellors/Presidents. “Our institutions remain in full support of the Protect College Sports Act and this rule not only allows for a much smoother transition into the policies put in place by the act once it passes, but demonstrates our commitment to it.”
十大联盟表示，该规则出台的时机旨在指导学校，并就十大联盟成员院校在即将到来的NIL谈判中面临的限制向公众发出提示。该规则实际上要求十大联盟学校在即将到来的转学门户开放窗口期之前，启动遵守《保护大学体育法案》限制所必需的财务和运营机制。
The Big Ten said the timing of the rule is intended to guide schools and alert the public about Big Ten institutional constraints in upcoming NIL discussions with athletes. The rule effectively requires Big Ten schools to initiate the financial and operational mechanisms necessary to comply with PCSA limits in advance of upcomingg and transfer portal windows.
该政策仅适用于学校层面的参与。运动员可自行与任何实体寻求 NIL（姓名、形象和肖像）机会。
This policy applies to school involvement only. Athletes are allowed to pursue NIL opportunities with any entity on their own.
十大联盟规则不取代任何现有规则或政策。十大联盟成员院校仍须遵守所有现行 NCAA（美国大学体育协会）规则和大学体育委员会政策，包括关于合法商业目的、允许的薪酬范围以及第三方 NIL 协议的提交与审查等规定。
The Big Ten rule does not replace any existing rules or policies. Big Ten institutions remain subject to all current NCAA rules and College Sports Commission policies, including those regarding valid business purpose, permissible range of compensation and submission and review of third-party NIL agreements.
