John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., on the NCAA’s NIL policy Statement from Notre Dame President Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., on the NCAA’s NIL policy Published: July 01, 2021 Author: Notre Dame News University Seal “As I said in an interview with the New York Times six years ago, I support the relaxing of NCAA prohibitions against student-athletes profiting from use of their own names, images and likenesses for one simple reason — other students are allowed to do so. I welcome the decision Wednesday to create an interim NIL policy, and we at Notre Dame will strive to implement it in a fair and organized manner. “As we enter a period of change and reform in college athletics, I urge all involved to remain focused on the educational purpose of our institutions, and to ensure that any changes enhance the educational experiences and outcomes of our student-athletes.” Posted In: University News Home Experts ND in the News Subscribe About Us Related October 03, 2022 Congresswoman Liz Cheney to speak at Notre Dame on the future of democracy September 22, 2022 In memoriam: Rev.
