Florida high-school NIL planning starts with the rules for your school and association. Use the source note below to distinguish a checked policy from a question that still needs a current answer.
Source and review status
Resource page checked September 26, 2026; its linked bylaw PDF is labeled 2024–25. Confirm the current school-year text and later amendments with your school before relying on a specific clause.
FHSAA’s current NIL resource page links Bylaw 9.9 and guidance for families. The linked bylaw permits qualifying NIL with restrictions on recruiting, sponsor categories, school connections and agreement duration. It contains specific treatment of school marks and written authorization; do not reduce that to a blanket permission.
Bring the real project to the review
Make your school question specific
| Bring with you | Question to resolve |
|---|---|
| The offer and current policy edition | Which rules apply to this athlete and activity? |
| The actual draft advertisement | Are its school references, clothing and setting permitted? |
| The sponsor’s requested rights and dates | Which uses or timing need a separate review? |
| The proposed review and publication schedule | What must be completed before accepting or publishing? |
Keep a record of the answer
Save the source edition and the date you checked it. Record unresolved questions with an owner and follow-up date. If a rule or school-year document changes, revisit the proposal rather than assuming an earlier answer still covers it.
Organizing a draft and asking questions is separate from activating a paid project. Where requirements remain unclear, keep the project on hold. A qualified adviser can help review contract questions; the school or association handles its own eligibility process.
