NIL Recruiting Ban About to Become a Thing of the Past

The National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) name, image, and likeness (NIL) recruiting restrictions, referred to as the “NIL recruiting ban,” are about to become a thing of the past.

On March 17, the NCAA and the state attorneys general (AG) for Tennessee, Florida, New York, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the District of Columbia asked U.S. District Judge Clifton L. Corker to approve a consent judgment and permanent injunction that would permanently end the NIL recruiting ban.

The consent judgment and permanent injunction now awaits final approval, which is expected, from Judge Corker.
