Things are moving in the right direction regarding NCAA athletes being able to make money off their names, images and likenesses.
On Monday night, Sports Illustrated reporters Ross Dellenger and Pat Forde wrote that a new draft of the rules could be passed by the Division I Council on Wednesday, though they report official approval wouldn’t come until January.
The below tweet from Dellenger sums up what athletes can profit from and what they can’t. What they can’t includes sports betting:
NEWS: @SINow obtained the NCAA’s NIL legislation sent to DI Council.
Athletes can use NIL to profit from commercials, autographs & camps/lessons.
Athletes can use agents but cannot endorse “sports wagering & banned substances.”

The full details of the new legislation being proposed is included in Dellenger and Forde’s report, which can be found here.
It seems as if these new rules will take effect soon enough, allowing athletes to being profiting.
