NCAA Releases Proposed NIL Rules - Yahoo

Highlights:

1. Allowing "Go Fund Me" pages for excess education expenses

2. A player can mention their school, team and sport while doing so, but can’t use any logos or other

3. A player couldn’t promote “an athletics equipment company or manufacturer” that has a deal with their current institution — meaning a quarterback who plays at a school sponsored by Nike couldn’t then appear in Nike commercials. For example, Caleb Love could appear in Adida's commercials but not Nike commercials.

4. “Student-athletes should be permitted to take advantage of legitimate opportunities, even if the source of the opportunity comes from a booster of the institution.”

5. Several states — including Colorado, California, Nebraska, New Jersey and Florida — have passed laws that allow student-athletes to engage in this behavior, though some laws conflict with the NCAA’s new proposals.

Your #3 is not correct. The athlete CL couldn't appear in a Nike commercial, but if you read the next part of the article, the school can stop the athlete from appearing in a commercial that conflicts with the college's pre-existing commercial deal, so UNC could nix the Addidas advert.

NCAA probably didn't want to look like they banned deals with athletic apparel companies, but the effect will turn out the same when both rules have to be applied.

Does UNC have basketball Nike commercials that are on TV?

Doesn't' have too, if the language in this brief is the same as in the actual rules. it says "existing sponsorship agreement," so just wearing Nike gear would qualify if UNC gets money or other consideration for having athletes do so.
