King has been outspoken about NIL and called on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to make sure it was instituted on July 1, 2021, after it had been discussed being moved back a year.
King has 38,700 followers on Instagram and 23,400 followers on Twitter. The NCAA board of directors ruled on Wednesday to officially suspend prohibiting athletes from selling their own name, image and likeness. The rule will have a trickle-down effect allowing athletes in non-revenue sports to sell their own services giving lessons.
King would be one of the biggest beneficiaries across the board. The possibilities for King and other high-profile Miami athletes are vast. King can make money directly off his NIL through social media and could also offer his services. Imagine a young QB being about to take lessons from King on how to play the position.
