US EditionOHSAA Sets Date to Vote on NIL Rules for Ohio High School Athletes
- On Oct. 23, the Ohio High School Athletic Association set Nov. 17 for a virtual referendum vote on NIL for high school athletes, to be held from Nov. 17-21.
- The timeline was accelerated after Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge Jaiza Page issued a temporary restraining order, prompting an emergency vote affecting over 800 schools, following Jasmine Brown's Oct. 15 lawsuit.
- Proposed rules would permit NIL agreements but bar performance-based pay, recruitment inducements and collectives, require student-athletes to disclose deals within 14 days, and impose a 20 percent ineligibility penalty for noncompliance.
- The vote will be conducted electronically, with each high school principal casting one vote for over 800-member OHSAA schools and a simple majority required to pass; OHSAA will host webinars, and rules take effect immediately if approved.
- Nationwide, NIL is permitted in college and 44 states, but Ohio, one of six states that banned high school NIL until late 2024, is now reviewing rules after a court order.
