Last week, the National Collegiate Athletic Association ("NCAA") Board of Governors voted unanimously to permit student-athletes to "benefit from the use of their name, image and likeness in a manner consistent with the collegiate model." As I previously wrote about here and here, California passed Senate Bill 206, which, effective January 1, 2023, will prohibit public and private colleges and universities in California from revoking scholarships or eligibility from student-athletes who monetize their name, image, and likeness ("NIL"). California was likely the impetus for spurring the NCAA into action. In fact, part of the reason why Senate Bill 206 was drafted so as not to go into effect until 2023 was to give the powers that be, the NCAA, time to revisit its bylaws and implement NIL rules which would govern student-athletes nationwide.
