High School NIL
Ohio
Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) · Effective November 2025
Last reviewed July 1, 2026
Heads up: Flipped to allowed in Nov 2025 — older trackers are stale.
Key rules
- ›No OHSAA/school/related branding
- ›Collectives and booster groups may not facilitate
- ›All agreements reported to OHSAA within 14 days
- ›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.
