Matt Forbes must forfeit US Open prize money, despite earning NIL

While the landscape of college athletics is ever changing, and with the introduction of Name Image and Likeness, the rules within the sports and professional sports becomes very murky.

Michigan State tennis player Matt Forbes won the 2024 USTA National Boys’ 18s championship, earning him a spot in the US Open. Now, despite the new rules in  the NCAA where Forbes can make NIL money, he will have to forfeit his prize money for playing in the US Open.

Another rule that doesn’t make sense as the waters become more murky with the landscape of NIL in college athletics.
