PIAA Approves NIL For PA Students

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association has approved a final policy for high school student athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness. A spokesperson with the PIAA said the policy will take effect immediately. The policy will allow athletes to get commercial endorsements and earn money from promotional activities, including social media. For now, those agreements can’t make references to the PIAA or any school or team name. Students will be prohibited from endorsing adult entertainment, alcohol, casinos and gambling, tobacco and smoking devices, opioids and prescription drugs, controlled substances and weapons.
