Ohio HS Athletic Association to vote on NIL
The OHSAA is set to vote on allowing NIL for student athletes. Does current NCAA NIL allow recruits to receive endorsements (money, cars etc.) prior to enrolling or do they only kick-in once enrolled? If they must wait, does this open the door for direct payments to HS students in order to influence their recruitment?
This is the released on the proposal: Issue 12B is a Name, Image and Likeness proposal that mirrors changes made at the collegiate level in the last year. This proposed addition would now allow student-athletes to sign endorsement agreements so long as their teams, schools and/or the OHSAA logo are not used and provided there are no endorsements with companies that do not support the mission of education-based athletics (casinos, gambling, alcohol, drugs, tobacco).
Will the vote change the fact that it’s already happening??? Ohio.
Lebron is probably wishing this was done a couple decades earlier.
Yeah, he's hurting for cash.
Uh kinda talking about 16/17/18 year old Lebron. You think I was talking about his concerns for NIL in Ohio HS right now? Apparently 6 others agree. What a strange forum this is sometimes.
Louisiana just approved
This is a law vs rule issue. Pretty sure there is no stopping a HS athlete from receiving money. Issue is whether they are still eligible to participate in HS atthletics.
And whether or not they would be eligible to compete in the NCAA. Prior to NIL, any high school athlete who received money for playing their sport would be ineligible to compete in the NCAA. The question is whether that rule still exists now that NIL is allowed for current NCAA athletes.
Do any rules actually apply in the NCAA? Seems like the wild west
It's sorta crazy we don't already know the answer to that IMO
I live in Ohio, sadly. This is the most messed up state politically that is not in the old south. Anything legislated here, needs to be considered, at best, potentially corrupt, and at least potentially harmful.
Having coached high school school football here for nearly 20 years, I can tell you that the OHSAA, similar to the NCAA, cares little for the well being of student-athletes and schools, but only about their bottom line. Pathetic institution.
