Deep dives
The Impact of NIL on College Sports
Name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights have transformed the landscape of collegiate athletics, allowing student-athletes to monetize their personal brand. Previously, college athletes were prohibited from profiting while their schools garnered significant revenues from sports. The passage of state laws, beginning with California's Fair Pay to Play Act in 2019, forced the NCAA to adapt and grant these rights, marking a significant shift in the balance of power within college sports. This change addresses long-standing inequities, enabling athletes to earn money through endorsements and sponsorships, which could reshape their financial futures.
