Either I missed it, or it's quite surprising that no one has yet posted the news that the NCAA gave in and OK'd "name, image, likeness" payments to college athletes today.
From what I read, they basically said, (paraphrased), "We have no idea yet how to do this, so just follow your new state laws. If your state doesn't have laws about this, just make your own school rules."

Do you think many women's volleyball players will benifit from this or just the "big name" players?

They can all do camps, merchandise, apparel, commercials, etc. for what this all entails. Some will have more market power than others.

Yes the student athletes will benefit but they cannot use the school’s name in doing so…..so the Samantha Dreschel volleyball camp cannot use the UW or Huskies name. It’s going to be a good opportunity for players to learn the business side but they are going to have to put in the work.

Yes the student athletes will benefit but they cannot use the school’s name in doing so That's not universally true. Many states have passed different laws. Some of the laws have said that students can't use the names of their schools, but others have not made that restriction. And for those schools that don't have state laws about NIL, the NCAA just said that it's up to the schools to set the rules.

The schools still own the copyright on logos etc. and permissions would have to be given.

I would guess schools will generally be likely to allow athletes to wear their gear, in exchange for some veto rights. There would probably be some interesting legal issues if, for instance, an Adidas-school athlete got a NIL contract with Nike, or vice versa.

And for those schools that don't have state laws about NIL, the NCAA just said that it's up to the schools to set the rules. I don’t see why schools would allow the student athletes to use the school’s name though. If you allow one , you need to allow for every athletes. And what if some athletes want to use the schools name on an apparel that has a controversial message? Who is going to be the judge of who can and who cannot put what on the apparel? Or give a public speech that contradicts the school’s policy. Schools going to spend plenty of times in front of judges trying to explain why this athlete is allowed to use the school name and make money while this one is prohibited. I just think the schools will get themselves into too much of a pickle if they let other entities use their names. Helping them out by giving them guidance on how to go about making money and stuff is great but the players should not be making money off the school’s name. Schools need to look out for themselves.

There would probably be some interesting legal issues if, for instance, an Adidas-school athlete got a NIL contract with Nike, or vice versa. I highly doubt schools simply "allow" athletes to wear their gear in promotions. NIL works both ways. The schools are businesses that have built their brands and license their name, colors and logos to partners. Rights would have to be negotiated between the school and the brand working with the athlete. For the vast majority of brands partnering with individual athletes, it simply won't be worth the cost. Regarding the example of an athlete at an Adidas school signing a deal with Nike, it won't be an interesting legal issue. The language in the contracts is usually very clear. Typically athletes must wear school gear at all team organized activities. So in your example the athlete could wear Nike gear and be a brand rep at any time unless they are in team activities, during which they must wear Adidas.

Schools need to look out for themselves. As if they don't already? I guess we'll see what happens.

The schools are businesses Actually ... most of them aren't. However, I'm not saying that I think schools will be eager to sign up for diluting their branding. I'm sure there will be restrictions. I'm just not sure it will be so blanket as to say the school's name or trademarks will never be shown.

Hmm. Except I don't have an Instagram account, so I can't see it. But I'm sure it was interesting.
