COLLEGE ATHLETES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE CELEBRATING A MONUMENTAL REVERSAL IN NCAA POLICY.

IT’S A NEW ERA IN COLLEGE SPORTS.

TODAY, FROM FIVE-STAR RECRUITS TO WALK-ONS, ATHLETES CAN MAKE MONEY FOR THEIR NAME, IMAGE, AND LIKENESS.

LET’S GET THIS STRAIGHT.

FROM ENDORSEMENT DEALS TO SELLING MERCHANDISE AND PERFORMING AT LIVE CONCERTS, ATHLETES CAN NOW TAP INTO THEIR TALENTS TO MAKE SOME BIG BUCKS.

SOME EXAMPLES: ANTWAN OWENS, A JACKSON STATE DEFENSIVE END, WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ATHLETES TO INK A DEAL AT A MIDNIGHT SIGNING IN NEW YORK CITY.

ON INSTAGRAM, HE POSTED HE’S PARTNERING WITH 3 KINGS GROOMING, A BLACK-OWNED HAIR PRODUCT COMPANY.

FRESNO STATE BASKETBALL PLAYERS HALEY AND AND HANNA CAVINDER ARE HUGE SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS.

THE TWINS ANNOUNCED ON INSTAGRAM, THEY’RE TEAMING UP WITH SIX STAR PRO NUTRITION, A SPORTS SUPPLEMENT COMPANY, FOR THEIR FIRST PAID PARTNERSHIP.

WHEN THIS LINEMAN IS NOT TAKING THE FIELD FOR THE MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD, YOU MAY CATCH HIM SINGING AND PLAYING GUITAR AT A LOCAL BAR OR VENUE.

IN A TWEET, WILL ULMER SAID, HE’S DROPPING HIS ALIAS AND THIS YEAR WILL BE PLAYING LIVE SHOWS.

KENTUCKY BASKETBALL GUARD, DONTAIE ALLEN, HAS COME OUT WITH HIS T-SHIRT LINE.

THE RED-SHIRT FRESHMAN PENNING A DEAL WITH ‘THE PLAYERS TRUNK.’

IT’S A WEBSITE THAT GIVES ATHLETES A PLATFORM TO SELL GEAR, MERCHANDISE, AND COLLECTIBLES.

THE NCAA SAYS THE TEMPORARY NIL POLICY WILL REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL A FEDERAL LAW OR NEW RULE BY THE ASSOCIATION IS ADOPTED.

LASTLY, THIS POLICY CHANGE DOESN’T CHANGE THE NCAA’S STANCE ON ATHLETES BEING PAID TO PLAY.

DO YOU AGREE THAT COLLEGE ATHLETES SHOULD GET PAID?
