Rights of publicity allow individuals to control the commercial use of their identity, including their name, image, and likeness. Until recently, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”), the organization that regulates student athletes, did not allow student athletes to profit off their NIL. Now, because of this landmark decision, the NCAA allows all NCAA student athletes to be compensated for their NIL. Applicable laws differ from state-to-state, and universities across the country are taking different approaches to NIL issues following the Supreme Court’s June 2020 decision.
