Updated, 3:23 Pm: On Wednesday, the NCAA’s board of directors established an interim policy, allowing student athletes to profit off of their own names, images and likenesses.

“We must embrace change to provide the best possible experience for college athletes,” said Michael V. Drake, chair of the Ncaa’s board of governors and president of The Ohio State University, in a statement issued after the ruling body came to a decision at a meeting in Atlanta. “Additional flexibility in this area can and must continue to support college sports as a part of higher education.
