TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17 (1 PM): THE ABCS OF NIL-UNDERSTANDING THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF COLLEGE SPORTS
On July 1, 2021, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rules changed to allow college athletes to make money off of their name, image and likenesses (NIL), reversing the organization's long-held policy regarding amateurism and financial compensation. This lecture will discuss this new NCAA policy and its impact on college sport. While there are benefits to NIL, it has also highlighted race, gender and social class issues in sports. There are questions about which athletes are benefitting the most from this policy. This lecture will define NIL, discuss what it means to college sports and add social context to the business of college sports. An informative Coffee & Conversation from Winthrop's Dr. Lauren McCoy Coffee. You don't want to miss it!

Her personal history parallels Rock Hill's history as it transitioned from a textile town to a city of diverse businesses.
