The NCAA’s efforts to allow athletes to earn money from personal endorsement and sponsorship deals are stuck in limbo and June is shaping up to be a potentially busy and important month for college sports.

Despite the current gridlock, NCAA President Mark Emmert tells The Associated Press he is still hopeful that uniform national rules related to NIL compensation for athletes could be in place before the next football season starts.
