One of the most impactful changes in the history of collegiate athletics happened just a year ago when the NCAA agreed to allow its athletes to profit off of their name, image, and likeness (NIL).
This landmark ruling, in turn, completely upended the business of college sports for athletes, schools, agents and marketers.
