NIL rule for high school now clearer in AZ

The Arizona Interscholastic Association has approved a legislative proposal that offers more clarity surrounding a high school student-athlete profiting off their name, image and likeness (NIL). The “new” guidelines will take effect July 1. 

The proposal was approved Friday during the AIA legislative council meeting. 

“It’s a good start to help clarify the existing bylaw providing guidelines to athletic directors, coaches, parents and student athletes,” Tempe Union High School District Athletic Director Dave Huffine said. “We looked at a number of other states and what their concerns and pitfalls have been. There will still be questions that arise as this is a fluid issue. But I am happy that the membership is taking a proactive approach.”
