Recently, Governor Whitmer of Michigan passed a rule that will allow student-athletes to receive payment for their name, likeness, and image in the state of Michigan. The NCAA has plans to follow suit, and while that decision could’ve been made today, it will now be delayed.
The NCAA cited ‘external factors’ in the delay.
“The Council remains fully committed to modernizing Division I rules in ways that benefit all student-athletes,” said Council chair M. Grace Calhoun, athletics director at Pennsylvania. “Unfortunately, external factors require this pause, and the Council will use this time to enhance the proposals.”
