toto On August 17th, the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) approved a new policy at their board of directors meeting making Massachusetts the 16th state to allow high school athletes to profit off of their NIL.

Section 47.1.3 in the MIAA handbook states that permissible activities include commercial endorsements, promotional activities, social media presence, product or service advertisements and non-fungible tokens (NFT).

Like many other states that have passed new NIL policies at the high school level, some restrictions include promotional activity relating to adult entertainment, tobacco, cannabis, controlled substances, weapons and gambling.
