Answer

On July 1, 2021, the NCAA adopted a new rule that allows college athletes to be paid for the use of their name, image, and likeness. This was a significant change in college sports, as it had previously been against NCAA rules for athletes to receive compensation for their likeness. The new rule has allowed college athletes to sign endorsement deals, appear in commercials, and more.
