NCAA Moves To Compensate Athletes

The NCAA is moving forward with a plan to allow college athletes to earn money for endorsements and a host of other activities involving personal appearances and social media.

A formal vote will be taken by schools at the next convention in January and new rules will go into effect no later than the 2021-22 academic year.

Host Tonya Mosley speaks with Here & Now sports analyst Mike Pesca (@pescami). He hosts the daily podcast The Gist.
