Navigating High School NIL: Rules, Risks, and Eligibility
Navigating Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals while in high school requires strict adherence to both state high school athletic association (HSAA) guidelines and forward-looking NCAA eligibility standards. Over 35 state associations—including California (CIF), Florida (FHSAA Rule 9.9), Georgia (GHSA), and North Carolina (NCHSAA)—permit high school athletes to monetize their NIL, whereas states like Texas (UIL for public schools) strictly prohibit it. Moreover, the NCAA and the College Sports Commission (CSC) enforce stringent regulations: any Division I-bound student-athlete receiving third-party compensation must disclose all agreements valued at $600 or more starting from their junior year or July 1, 2025, using platforms like NIL Go.
Failing to remain compliant can result in the immediate forfeiture of high school amateur status, ineligibility for state championships, and disqualification from collegiate competition.
