NIL will not be coming to the high school level in Ohio, as OHSAA member schools rejected a proposal that would allow prep athletes to profit off of their name, image and likeness.
The proposal mirrored the one passed at the collegiate level last summer, and would have limited prep athletes from using their high school teams' logos or uniforms in any endorsement deal and would have forbidden an athlete to endorse gambling, alcohol or drugs and tobacco. But with the proposal failing, Ohio athletes will have to wait until college to pursue NIL opportunities or risk losing their amateur status at the high school level.
Nine states have passed legislation permitting NIL deals at the high school level: California, Alaska, Kansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York and Utah.
