Interim NCAA Policy
NCAA college athletes now have the opportunity to benefit from their name, image and likeness. All three divisions have adopted a uniform, interim policy defining NCAA name, image and likeness rules for all incoming and current student-athletes in all sports.
The interim policy provides the following guidelines to schools, student-athletes and families:
- Individuals can engage in NIL activities that are consistent with the law of the state where the school is located. Colleges and universities may be a resource for state law questions
- Individuals can use a professional services provider for NIL activities
- College athletes who attend a school in a state without a NIL law can engage in NIL activity without violating NCAA rules related to name, image and likeness
- State law and schools may impose reporting requirements
State of Maryland Specifics
The current legislation (PDF) passed in Maryland related to NIL does not take effect until July 2023 and is only applicable to student-athletes at public institutions.
JHU Department of Athletics Student-Athlete Name, Image & Likeness Policy
Johns Hopkins University is committed to allowing name, image, and likeness opportunities for all student-athletes consistent with NCAA legislation and University policies.

The University has the ultimate responsibility of certifying the eligibility of its student-athletes and to educate and monitor its student-athletes, staff members and representatives of athletics interests under NCAA legislation. Therefore, all name, image, and likeness agreements must be disclosed to the Johns Hopkins University Athletics Compliance Office in accordance with the procedures outlined in the JHU Department of Athletics Student-Athlete Name, Image and Likeness Policy.
Name, image, and likeness activities must adhere to all University policies and guidelines, including but not limited to Use of Name and University Social Media policies. The Department of Athletics reserves the right to make changes to this Policy in its sole reasonable discretion.
