NCAA Will Let Athletes Profit Off Their Names, Images And Likenesses

The NCAA has ruled that student athletes can benefit from their name, image, and likeness, following input from various stakeholders. This decision marks a significant shift from their previous stance against California's Fair Pay to Play Act.
