A few days ago, a new day dawned in the NCAA and student-athletes became permitted to be paid for use of their names, images, and likenesses (NIL). This isn’t a surprise for most fans, as several states enacted legislation that essentially forced the NCAA’s hand on suspending the almighty amateurism rules for NIL on July 1st.
The rubber stamp has arrived. Starting at midnight (and there will be some starting at midnight), college athletes will be able to make money from selling the rights to their names, images and likenesses. https://t.
