INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA Division I Council plans to act on legislative proposals next month that would allow athletes to be paid to be sponsors, social media influencers and product endorsers, the governing body for college sports announced Wednesday.
The council will take up the issue at its meeting June 22-23 with the goal of having legislation in place by July 1. That would provide greater consistency in the name, image and likeness opportunities available to student-athletes nationally as state laws become effective on or around that date.
Dozens of states are forcing the issue with bills that will grant college athletes NIL rights as soon as this summer.
Whatever policy or rules they hammer out for the men will also apply to the women.
