The COVID-19 pandemic forced the NCAA to allow 2020 spring and fall student athletes an extra season of eligibility. With much of the winter season still in question, eligibility relief may be extended to winter student-athletes as well.
While nothing has been released by the NCAA yet, there was news reported on Tuesday by Stadium’s Jeff Goodman that the speculation would turn into a reality. It is unclear how much this could mean for men’s college basketball, as the draft stock of highly-touted prospects may plummet the longer they stay in school.
The other big news lurking for college sports involved the progress of NCAA’s legislation allowing its student-athletes to profit off of their name, image and likeness. Sports Illustrated obtained a document detailing the NCAA’s current perspective on the matter. While formal approval will not come until at least the start of 2021, clauses of the current legislation would allow student-athletes to profit off of:
- Signing autographs
- Coaching private lessons and camps
- Endorsing products through commercials or other avenues
The new rules would also allow student-athletes to raise money for charity through GoFundMe and other fundraising platforms. They will not be able to be compensated at all if their school’s names and logos are marked or used.
