(Harrisburg, Pa.) The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association has ruled that student athletes can now start making money while in high school.
The PIAA’s board of directors has reportedly approved a policy to allow high school athletes in the state to profit from their name, image, and likeness, just like college athletes.
Now young athletes in Pennsylvania are allowed to earn money from endorsement deals and promotional activities through outlets on social media and through advertisements.
There are restrictions, stating that the athletes can’t wear their school’s uniform or make any reference to their school or their team.
Some kinds of products and services are banned from endorsements, including alcohol, drugs, gambling, and weapons.
The PIAA based the rule on a third and final reading by a vote of 26-4.
