The floodgates are opening, and popular college athletes are about to be flooded with new ways to make money off of their own name, image and likeness. And it only took until the year of our lord 2021!
Just a few days after The Athletic reported that the NCAA was working with schools to navigate the new playing field, the same outlet reported yesterday that the NCAA D-I Council has recommended the association’s NIL policy to the Board of Directors.
The interim policy is likely to be approved by the board when they meet on Wednesday, sources told The Athletic on Saturday.
