NCAA a national organization that governs college athletics and oversees important decisions pertaining to athletics
*Shameless self plug...
College sports are governed by the NCAA. The National Collegiate Athletic Association is a nonprofit organization that regulates student athletes from up to 1,268 North American institutions and conferences
The policy provides the following guidance to college athletes, recruits, their families and member schools:
Individuals can engage in NIL activities that are consistent with the law of the state where the school is located. Colleges and universities may be a resource for state law questions.
College athletes who attend a school in a state without an NIL law can engage in this type of activity without violating NCAA rules related to name, image and likeness.
Individuals can use a professional services provider for NIL activities.
Student-athletes should report NIL activities consistent with state law or school and conference requirements to their school.
NCAA rule changes went into effect last year and allowed college athletes to make money by selling their name, image and likeness. Brook Silva-Braga looks at how the new rules are changing college sports.
"Impact x Nightline" explores the growing trend of "name, image and likeness" deals among student athletes and some of the concerns about its effects on their lives.
Deja Kelly has turned her platform into a personal brand, but she says having the right support system — from a financial advisor to her "momager" — is key to staying grounded in the new NIL economy.
It's been over three years since college athletes have been able to be paid above-board, a ruling that has permanently changed college sports. But as Scott MacFarlane reports, the change -- and the money -- hasn't been spread around equally.
professional athlete an athlete has the will and ability to earn an income from a particular sport

The Olympic Games grew and continued to be played every four years until they were abolished in 393 A.D.
