Oregon High School NIL Checklist
Governing body: Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) · Effective October 2022
Last reviewed July 1, 2026 · Printed July 18, 2026
Key rules — Oregon
- •No pay-for-play (no compensation for specific performances)
- •No school logos, facilities, equipment, or game/practice film
- •No promoting products during team activities
- •Prohibited: gambling, sports betting, lottery
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.
