Dr. Karissa Niehoff, in her NFHS column on NIL issues with High School Student Athletes, shares the NFHS policy on Name, Image and Likeness(N

Along with recruitment and retention of officials and related behavior issues in high school sports, which were addressed in this column last week, another concern across the high school landscape this year has been the impact of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) on high school athletics.

It has been less than one year since the NCAA suspended its longstanding amateur rules to allow college athletes to monetize their success and profit from their NIL, and many changes have occurred at that level. And, throughout the year, several state high school associations have established policies to help high school students navigate through murky NIL waters.

The state of officiating, NIL and information about the 50th anniversary of Title IX, were among the subjects discussed during the NFHS’ Media Availability Session yesterday. A recording of the webinar is available here.
