Name, Image And Likeness
In college athletics in the United States, a student-athlete who participates in a varsity sport on any and all levels is eligible to profit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL). Historically, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) was the first association to permit pro-am, as the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) resisted efforts to compensate college athletes beyond the scholarship and stipend. The Supreme Court's decision in '' NCAA v. Alston'' (2021) allows for non-scholarship earned income across every division. History The NCAA had long maintained that student-athletes cannot be compensated in the name of "amateurism". In 1953, the NCAA created the term "student-athlete" in response to the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling in ''University of Denver v. Nemeth'' that an injured football player was an "employee" of the University of Denver and therefore entitled to workers' compensation. Despite further attempts by the NCAA to classif ...
