On Thursday, July 1, 2021, the NCAA adopted an interim name, image and likeness policy. The policy allows student-athletes and prospective student-athletes across all three divisions to engage in activities that involve the use of their NIL for commercial or promotional purposes. The interim policy will remain in effect until either federal legislation or new NCAA rules are adopted.
The national office is providing opportunities for ongoing collaboration between student-athletes, school and conference leaders, athletics administrators, coaches and other key stakeholders on issues related to NIL. Additional educational videos supporting this collaboration are now available and linked below along with a copy of the interim NIL policy. Additional educational materials, including written and visual guides and an optional reporting form, can be found on ncaa.org/nil.
