The NCAA Division I Board of Directors released updated guidance Wednesday related to what role member institutions are allowed to play in NIL activities. The news of the guidance coming down was originally reported last week.
A member school is not able to provide financial support to a NIL collective – groups of boosters and businesses – have an athletic department staff member employed by the booster-run organization or provide an incentive to drive funds to a collective.
Athletic departments are able to help fundraise for collectives, including, for example, an administrator appearing at events.
