On July 1, 2021, the National Collegiate Athletic Association suspended its amateurism bylaw, allowing states to pass name, image, and likeness legislation. This opened the floodgates in intercollegiate athletics, allowing student-athletes to earn income and other financial incentives by engaging in sponsorships and other commercial deals with companies and organizations. Despite this, international collegiate athletes are currently prohibited from monetizing name, image, and likeness opportunities in the United States due to exclusionary restrictions on the F1 student visa status. There has been limited discourse regarding this near exclusion, leaving international collegiate athletes a silent group with few advocating for changes to ensure equity. This preliminary study investigates the perceptions of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I intercollegiate athletic practitioners and coaches on the impact this exclusion can have on a wide range of issues, including recruiting, team dynamics, and job function. Findings suggested there are five main areas where this legislative gap will have an impact, including education, finance, diversion, equity and fairness, and American exceptionalism.

2021 年 7 月 1 日，全国大学体育协会暂停了其业余章程，允许各州通过姓名、形象和肖像立法。这打开了校际体育运动的闸门，允许学生运动员通过与公司和组织进行赞助和其他商业交易来赚取收入和其他经济激励。尽管如此，由于 F1 学生签证身份的排他性限制，国际大学运动员目前仍被禁止在美国利用姓名、形象和肖像机会获利。关于这种近乎排斥的讨论非常有限，使得国际大学生运动员成为一个沉默的群体，很少有人主张进行变革以确保公平。这项初步研究调查了美国大学体育协会第一部门的校际体育从业者和教练对这种排除可能对一系列问题产生的影响的看法，包括招募、团队动力和工作职能。调查结果表明，这种立法差距将对五个主要领域产生影响，包括教育、金融、转移、公平和美国例外论。
