💥 NIL NEWS: Michigan officially approved new rules allowing high school student-athletes to earn compensation from their name, image, and likeness.

Under the MHSAA’s updated policy, athletes can pursue individual NIL opportunities such as endorsements, social media promotions, and personal appearances, as long as deals are not tied to athletic performance or school branding.

The rule change keeps schools, coaches, and boosters out of negotiations, while maintaining restrictions on group or collective-style NIL arrangements at the high school level.

With the policy now in effect, Michigan joins a growing number of states expanding NIL opportunities to pre-college athletes.

💥 NIL NEWS: Clemson WR Tristan Smith filed a lawsuit against the NCAA this week after his request for an additional year of eligibility was denied.

Smith's team argues the NCAA applied its eligibility rules inconsistently, a decision that could prevent him from competing this season and significantly impact his NIL business relationships and revenue-sharing opportunities.

The case centers on how junior college seasons are counted toward eligibility and whether current NCAA standards fairly reflect the modern NIL landscape.

With the lawsuit now moving through the courts, the situation highlights ongoing questions around eligibility enforcement, athlete rights, and the financial implications tied to NIL activity.

Another example of how the NIL era continues to evolve through legal challenges. Looking to capitalize on NIL’s momentum early? Head to NILManagement.com to learn more!
