A debate is underway in Ohio over whether high school athletes should be allowed to profit from their name, image, and likeness. The Ohio High School Athletic Association approved rules in November permitting student-athletes to earn compensation. A proposed bill, House Bill 661, would prohibit this practice. Only 32 NIL agreements have been reported since the rules took effect, involving commission-based arrangements and limited compensation. The OHSAA's framework prohibits pay-for-play and requires disclosure of agreements. Lawmakers are considering the proposed bill, which would effectively reverse the OHSAA's policy.
