Beginning tomorrow, college athletes can earn money for their name, their image and/or their likeness, without any repercussion from the NCAA. A debate that has gone on for years is now dead, and the college athletics you once knew dies with it.
With the clock winding down before tomorrow’s July 1 date puts NIL into effect in several states across the country, the NCAA finally decided to step in and do something with a Wednesday board meeting to go over various proposals and options and whatnot.
In the end, the NCAA approves the interim NIL policy allowing student-athletes across all 50 states to monetize their Name, Image, Likeness.
This was first reported by Nicole Auerbach over at The Athletic:
NEWS: The Division I Board of Directors has voted to approve the interim NIL policy, a source tells @TheAthletic.
College athletes in all 50 states will be able to monetize their names, images and likenesses starting tomorrow (July 1). Doing so will no longer violate NCAA rules.
