Title IX memo throws wrench in plans for schools to pay NIL money directly to athletes

The Department of Education issued a memo stating that colleges cannot pay athletes directly for their name, image, and likeness deals without violating Title IX.

N.C.A.A. Board Chair Linda Livingstone acknowledged the need to understand the implications of the memo for schools.
