NAME, IMAGE, AND LIKENESS
NIL stands for “Name, Image, and Likeness” and refers to NCAA guidance that will allow student-athletes to earn compensation for the use of their name, image or likeness. This new legislation will allow student-athletes to earn compensation in ways that were previously impermissible under NCAA rules.
