New pending rules could mean that Florida student-athletes in high school could soon be able to monetize on their image and likeness.<\/p>\n
Introduced on Wednesday by the Florida High School Athletics Association (FHSAA), the initiative would allow student-athletes<\/a> to capitalize on their Name, Image and Likeness (NIL). The change in policy would allow NIL related activity for compensation in such areas as<\/a> “commercial endorsements, promotional activities, social media presence, product or service advertisements.”<\/p>\n Up until this point, the FHSAA has always held the stringent view that all high school student-athletes are amateurs and do not get paid for an activity in connection with their athletic pursuits. Under the suggested provisions, student-athletes can’t been wearing a school uniform or logo while engaged in an NIL-related activity.<\/p>\n There are also provisions to safeguard against schools using NIL to recruit athletes. A student-athlete who transfers to a different school or district is not eligible to participate in NIL related activity for that season “unless a Good Cause Exemption is granted by the FHSAA.”<\/p>\n The new policy “allows high school student-athletes in the state of Florida Florida considers changes to its NIL policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":286601,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371541"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=371541"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371541\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":371542,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371541\/revisions\/371542"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/286601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=371541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=371541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=371541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
