NIL Deals
In college athletics in the United States, the National Collegiate Athletic Association ("NCAA") has historically resisted efforts to compensate college athletes. However, after years of effort by those in favor of student athlete compensation, culminating in the Supreme Court's decision in '' NCAA v. Alston'' (2021), college athletes may now earn compensation for their name, image, and likeness (NIL). History The National Collegiate Athletic Association ("NCAA") has long maintained that student athletes cannot be compensated in the name of "amateurism." In 1953, the NCAA even created the term "student athlete" in response to a Colorado state court's decision that a football player was an "employee" of the University of Denver.
