\"\"<\/a> The NCAA on Tuesday voted unanimously<\/a> to permit students participating in athletics the opportunity to “benefit from the use of their name, image and likeness in a manner consistent with the collegiate model.”<\/p>\n

The Board of Governors\u2019 action directs each of the NCAA\u2019s three divisions to immediately consider updates to relevant bylaws and policies for the 21st century, said Michael Drake, chair of the board and president at Ohio State.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must embrace change to provide the best possible experience for college athletes,\u201d Drake said in a news release. \u201cAdditional flexibility in this area can and must continue to support college sports as a part of higher education. This modernization for the future is a natural extension of the numerous steps NCAA members have taken in recent years to improve support for student-athletes, including full cost of attendance and guaranteed scholarships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Specifically, the board said modernization should occur within the following principles and guidelines:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. \n
        Assure student-athletes are treated similarly to non-athlete students unless a compelling reason exists to differentiate.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. \n
            \n
          1. \n
              Maintain the priorities of education and the collegiate experience to provide opportunities for student-athlete success.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                \n
              1. \n
                  \n
                1. \n
                    Ensure rules are transparent, focused and enforceable and facilitate fair and balanced competition.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                      \n
                    1. \n
                        \n
                      1. \n
                          Make clear the distinction between collegiate and professional opportunities.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                            \n
                          1. \n
                              \n
                            1. \n
                                Make clear that compensation for athletics performance or participation is impermissible.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                  \n
                                1. \n
                                    \n
                                  1. \n
                                      Reaffirm that student-athletes are students first and not employees of the university.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
                                        \n
                                      1. \n
                                          Enhance principles of diversity, inclusion and gender equity.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                                        1. \n
                                            Protect the recruiting environment and prohibit inducements to select, remain at, or transfer to a specific institution.<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                            \u201cAs a national governing body, the NCAA is uniquely positioned to modify its rules to ensure fairness and a level playing field for student-athletes,\u201d NCAA president Mark Emmert said in a statement. \u201cThe board\u2019s action today creates a path to enhance opportunities for student-athletes while ensuring they compete against students and not professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n

                                            The board\u2019s action was based on comprehensive recommendations from the NCAA Board of Governors Federal and State Legislation Working Group, which includes presidents, commissioners, athletics directors, administrators and student-athletes. The group gathered input over the past several months from numerous stakeholders, including current and former student-athletes, coaches, presidents, faculty and commissioners across all three divisions. The board also directed continued and productive engagement with legislators.<\/p>\n

                                            According to the news release, the working group will continue to gather feedback through April on how best to respond to the state and federal legislative environment and to refine its recommendations on the principles and regulatory framework. The board asked each division to create any new rules beginning immediately, but no later than Jan. 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
