High School NIL
Kentucky
Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) · Effective 2023
Last reviewed July 1, 2026
Key rules
- ›No school name, logo, apparel, or uniforms
- ›No NIL benefits promised by anyone connected to the school
- ›No pay based on athletic performance
- ›Must be reasonable market rate (no pay-for-play)
Before you sign — anywhere
- › Disclose the deal to your school/AD within your state's window (often 3–14 days).
- › No school logos, uniforms, or facilities. No pay tied to performance.
- › NIL income is taxable self-employment income — even paid in free gear.
- › Get contracts reviewed. For small deals, a flat-fee attorney beats an agent's cut.
