Report: NCAA Group to Propose Changes to Allow Athletes to be Paid by Sponsors

An NCAA working group plans to suggest changes at a board meeting Tuesday that athletes would allow student athletes to be paid for sponsorships and endorsements, according to ESPN.

Six months ago, the NCAA Board of Governors tasked a working group with figuring out how student athletes could get paid but still draw a line between college and professional sports. The NCAA will have several months to review the recommendations and suggest changes before it goes to a vote, which would likely occur in January.

According to ESPN, the working group plans to recommend several changes, including allowing student athletes to model apparel as long as it doesn't feature school logos.
