Understanding the NCAA's Name, Image and Likeness Policy

The NCAA's Name, Image and Likeness policy, introduced in 2023, aims to grant student-athletes the ability to monetize their personal brands and benefit from their name, image, and likeness. This groundbreaking change marks a significant shift in the collegiate sports ecosystem, offering new opportunities and challenges for student-athletes, universities, and sponsors.

Key Elements of the Policy

With appropriate regulations in place, it presents a platform for student-athletes to leverage their popularity and build a personal brand while still maintaining the integrity of collegiate sports.
