Can High School Students take NIL?

[jne381]

Just a thought, if college kids can take NIL and still be eligible to play for colleges, can High School students?

Of course the dollars would generally be a lot less significant, but I can imagine some rich alum in Texas would love to see his high school win a state championship. If a state athletic association disallows it, I don't see why that couldn't be challenged the same way the NCAA was,

Of course high schools are generally based on where you live, but it is not always the case. Private schools can pick students from wherever, and at least where I live, we have school of choice where students can attend different districts.

It depends on the rules of the high school athletic association. I don’t recall which state just changed the rules, but one Midwestern state just explicitly got rid of their NIL prohibitions for high schoolers. In MN, students are explicitly allowed to sell their NIL under conditions similar to college
