More States Allow High School Athlete Endorsements

High school athletes in an increasing number of states are gaining the right to profit from endorsements, autographs and sponsorships.

The Louisiana High School Athletic Association became the latest governing body to approve name, image and likeness rights, known as NIL, for its athletes. The association announced last month that it was partnering with Eccker Sports Group, a company focused on providing NIL information for students and high schools, the Lafayette Daily Advertiser reported.
