Ksenia Maiorova continues to lead the national conversation on international athletes’ rights through her work on the landmark NIL lawsuit filed by former LSU guard Last-Tear Poa. After a federal judge denied the government’s attempt to dismiss the case, Maiorova emphasized that the ruling is a meaningful step forward for international student-athletes seeking clarity on their ability to earn compensation without risking their immigration status. She praised Poa’s courage in taking on this precedent-setting challenge, noting that while the decision is encouraging, “the battle is not over.”
