WHAT IS THE NCAA NIL RULE?
The NCAA’s interim policy, which was passed in June 2021, has three main parts:
- Athletes can engage in NIL activities if they follow their state’s laws where their school is located. Schools must ensure these activities comply with state law.
- Athletes in states without NIL laws can still participate in NIL activities without breaking NCAA rules.
- Athletes are allowed to seek professional service providers for their NIL activities.
Student-athletes must report NIL activities to their school’s athletics compliance office to ensure that the deal is in accordance with state law, NCAA’s bylaws, and does not interfere with any sponsorships of their university.
