New Rules Could Be Coming To The NCAA

In the NFL:

Kicker Rodrigo Blankenship is one of 10 undrafted rookies who has signed with the Indianapolis Colts. The addition of Blankenship gives Indy two kickers on the roster while the NFL's career scoring leader, Adam Vinatieri, remains a free agent. General manager Chris Ballard signed Chase McLaughlin to a one-year deal after last season ended. McLaughlin replaced the injured Vinatieri in December.

In College Sports:

By this time next year, college athletes may be permitted to be earn money for their names, images and likenesses without compromising their eligibility. There are plenty of questions left to answer for the NCAA. A big one is whether Congress might get around to passing a law on the issue. The NCAA is expecting concrete bylaw proposals in October for an NCAA membership vote in January 2021, and presumptive implementation of these new laws for the 2021–22 academic year.
