The NCAA announced Wednesday that its Division I Council plans to act on name, image, and likeness proposals at its June 22-23 meetings, "provided it is feasible to do so."

"Having the legislation in place by July 1 would provide greater consistency in the name, image, and likeness opportunities available to student-athletes nationally as state laws become effective on or around July 1," the NCAA said.

The council could change the proposals' start date from Aug. 1 to July 1, or enact them immediately if action is taken after July 1.

Several states, such as Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, have NIL laws that go into effect in July.

The NCAA's proposals would allow student-athletes to profit off their own images, sign endorsements, and participate in social media marketing, among other opportunities, according to The Associated Press.

However, prospective and current-student athletes would have to disclose their NIL activities, including the amount of compensation they receive, to their school.
