How to Start and Run an On-Demand Marketplace for College Athletes to Promote Business BrandsFor years, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has enforced strict rules prohibiting college athletes from profiting off their name, image, and likeness (NIL). This meant that student-athletes were unable to accept endorsements, sponsorships, or any other form of compensation that was not directly tied to their athletic performance.
