Does Miami have advantage in new NCAA era of athlete name, image and likeness pay?

As July 1 arrives, NCAA athletes will be able to start capitalizing on use of their name, image and likeness (NIL), meaning amateur college athletes can begin to profit off endorsements.

Florida is one of the states that has had a law in place with Thursday as the start date for this revolutionary legislation in college athletics. Governor Ron DeSantis signed the bill in June 2020 while at the University of Miami.

Outside of the handful of states that have NIL laws going into place on Thursday, the NCAA has drafted interim policy as a stopgap measure for schools in other states until federal legislation is adopted, according to The Athletic.
