New IHSAA rule will allow Indiana high school athletes to monetize NIL
The Indiana High School Athletic Association has voted to allow high school athletes to monetize their name, image, and likeness (NIL) through a new rule called 'Personal Branding Activity.' The rule allows athletes to benefit financially from their NIL as long as they do not depict affiliation with their school or use school facilities.
The Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) has approved a new rule allowing high school athletes to monetize their name, image, and likeness (NIL). The 'Personal Branding Activity' proposal was voted 13-5 in favor by the IHSAA board of directors. Indiana is one of the last states to adopt this rule, following Michigan's lead in January. Athletes can now utilize their NIL as long as they do not depict affiliation with their member school or use school facilities. Prohibited activities include those organized or sponsored by a member school, while allowed activities include instruction services, appearances, and private training. IHSAA commissioner Paul Neidig stated that collectives, commonly used in college sports, will be strictly prohibited.
