(NEW YORK) — The NCAA Division I board is scheduled to meet Wednesday to review an interim policy that would temporarily “suspend amateurism rules” related to athletes’ ability to make money from their name, image and likeness.

The NCAA Division I Council voted Monday to recommend the interim NIL policy ahead of Wednesday’s meeting.

While the policy opens NIL activities to student-athletes, it will continue to prohibit pay-for-play and improper inducements to choosing to attend a particular school, according to an NCAA press release.

The policy will still introduce major changes to NCAA sports, especially revenue-generating sports like football and basketball. Athletes
