Only the United States Congress can fix the name, image and likeness concerns in college sports, at least in the eyes of SEC commissioner Greg Sankey.

Sankey told reporters Monday that there is an "urgent need" for Congress to enact a national standard for how schools handle NIL.

"The reality is, only Congress can fully address the challenges facing college athletics," he said. "The NCAA cannot fix all of these issues, the courts cannot resolve all of these issues. The states cannot resolve all of these issues, nor can the conferences. Whether congressional action is achievable is a matter of debate. Much debate.
