Should high school athletes get paid for their image and likeness? This is a question that the state of Indiana will have to answer sooner rather than later.
The NCAA announced last year that it would allow student-athletes to monetize through NIL. As a result, those contracts began trickling down to high schoolers in the seven states that approved the contracts for prep athletes.
National Federation of State High School Associations CEO Karissa Niehoff told Fox Business that NIL deals for high school athletes could become disruptive, but argued that contracts would not become commonplace in high school.
Niehoff also said high school “is not intended to be an opportunity to earn a living, and we hope it will stay that way.”
That might not be the “intention,” but Kendall & Casey say that’s likely one of many unfortunate outcomes of these marketing deals.
