The NCAA’s interim name, image and likeness policy allows student-athletes and prospective student-athletes across all three divisions to engage in activities that involve the use of their NIL for commercial or promotional purposes. The interim policy will remain in effect until either federal legislation or new NCAA rules are adopted. 

• Individuals can engage in NIL activities that are consistent with the law of the state where the school is located. Colleges and universities may be a resource for state law questions.
• College athletes who attend a school in a state without an NIL law can engage in this type of activity without violating NCAA rules related to name, image and likeness.
• Individuals can use a professional services provider for NIL activities.
• Student-athletes should report NIL activities consistent with state law or school and conference requirements to their school.

Additional educational materials can be found below. Student-athletes who wish to engage in activities that involve the use of their NIL for commercial or promotional purposes must complete a NIL Activity Form.

Please contact your coach or Associate Director of Athletics, Adrienne Shibles, at ashibles@bates.edu for guidance and additional information.
