Collegiate Athletics as we know it changed forever on Tuesday.
The NCAA’s top governing board voted unanimously to permit students participating in athletics the opportunity to benefit from the use of their name, image and likeness in a manner consistent with the collegiate model.
The board asked each NCAA division to create any new rules beginning immediately, but no later than January 2021.
What will it mean for major college football and men’s college basketball in the future? We don’t know exactly, but it will change the current structure as we know it.
This is a good change for the student-athletes.
