Starting Thursday, college athletes can profit from their name, image and likeness (NIL) after previously being banned from doing so under the NCAA's strict amateurism rules. Examples of money-making opportunities include social media posts, endorsements, appearances and autograph sessions.
What's next?
The NCAA is calling this an interim policy and plans to continue working with Congress toward a federal law. But for college athletes, NIL compensation is here to stay. Hamline President Fayneese Miller, chair of the NCAA's Division III Presidents Council, said in a statement, "We are committed to doing more. We need to continue working with Congress for a more permanent solution."
