Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill into law on Thursday morning that will dramatically alter NIL regulations in the Lone Star State, and the Texas A&M Aggies best take notice. According to Nick Schultz of On3,

Gov. Greg Abbott proceeded with a new NIL law, House Bill 126, allowing universities to compensate student-athletes over 17 with NIL contracts once they've enrolled in college. The proposed bill received a two-thirds majority vote in both chambers of the Texas legislature, thus making the law go into effect immediately.

The details of the House settlement with the NCAA may not have finished, but Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill into law Thursday that will end the NCAA's decades-old prohibition on universities paying players directly.
