The college sports landscape is about to undergo an unprecedented change.

For the first time, they can monetize their fame without breaking NCAA rules and putting their eligibility in jeopardy.
On Tuesday, Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports hinted on Twitter that from what he has heard, a starting power conference quarterback will announce a national deal in the first week after NIL rights go into effect.
