In case you haven’t heard, the NCAA came out yesterday with a plan to change its rules in regards to student-athletes making money off their names, likenesses and images.
In their official statement on NCAA.org, they said this:
In the Association’s continuing efforts to support college athletes, 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.
This announcement came much sooner than fans originally thought it would, but for many it is a welcome change.
