The NCAA advisory group briefing includes three critical sections: general guidelines for the new rules, suggestions for how student-athletes can monetize their NIL, and how they cannot. Business Insider has summarized the guidelines' most important components below.
The NCAA's 'guardrails' for how student-athletes can make money:NIL activities should not distract students from school or athletics. Schools cannot pay student-athletes or use NIL payment as a form of compensation. Schools should not play a role in arranging student-athletes' NIL deals or activities. headtopics.com

Student-athletes cannot use the logos, jerseys, facilities, trademarked material, or other "intellectual property" that belongs to the universities. Schools and boosters cannot use NIL activities to entice prospective recruits to attend their university.
Student-athletes can use agents, but those relationships must be regulated. The entity responsible for that regulation has not been named.Student-athletes' NIL activities cannot interfere with schools' efforts in the areas of diversity, inclusion, or gender equity.
What student-athletescando:Promote private lessons and business activities, and operate their own camps and clinics, as long as they do not use school marks.Endorse products, as long as they do not use any school marks or reveal the school they attend. They are allowed only to refer to "their involvement in intercollegiate athletics generally."
Be compensated for autograph sessions, as long as the sessions don't occur during an institution event or competition and no school marks or apparel is used.Solicit funds through crowdfunding, such as GoFundMe, for nonprofits or charities, catastrophic events, family hardships, and educational experiences, such as internships. headtopics.com
Enter deals with agents only for (1) advice on NIL ventures, (2) assistance in contract negotiations, and (3) marketing of NIL ventures. Student-athletes must disclose all NIL ventures, relationships, and contracts with agents to their schools and a third-party administrator to be named.
