Student athlete compensation

Payments for college athletes

In college athletics in the United States, a student-athlete who participates in a varsity sport on any and all levels is eligible to profit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL). Historically, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) was the first association to permit pro-am, as the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) resisted efforts to compensate college athletes beyond the scholarship and stipend. However, the Supreme Court's decision in NCAA v. Alston (2021) allows for non-scholarship earned income across every division.
