NEW YORK -- The BIG EAST Conference hosted a league-wide forum Monday to discuss student-athlete name, image and likeness (NIL) and the legislative proposals that will be considered for vote at the 2021 NCAA Convention in January.
Commissioner Val Ackerman, Co-Chair of the NCAA Federal and State Legislation Working Group and member of the DI Legislative Solutions Group, led the forum. The participants, which included athletics directors, senior athletic administrators and head coaches, were joined by key NCAA staff members who have been instrumental in advancing the association’s work related to NIL over the past 18 months.
