AI Summary

  • High school student-athletes in Ohio (grades 9-12) may earn compensation from the use of their name, image, or likeness (NIL) through written contracts at fair market value, with parental consent required for those under 18

  • Contracts are prohibited if they involve schools/booster clubs as parties, are based on athletic performance, serve as inducements to attend a particular school, or promote alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, gambling, adult entertainment, or weapons

  • Contracts exceeding $500 must be disclosed to a school administrator at least 7 days before signing for review of potential conflicts with school policies or statutory violations

  • Schools and athletic organizations cannot prohibit NIL activities, revoke scholarships, charge additional fees, or condition enrollment/team selection based on a student-athlete's NIL participation

  • Student-athletes who transfer schools for NIL-related reasons face a rebuttable presumption of violation, potentially resulting in suspension from competition after 50% of the regular season and all post-season contests
