AHSAA executive director Alvin Briggs said the AHSAA will continue to evaluate its amateur rule.
Georgia became the latest state Monday to approve a type of Name, Image and Likeness compensation for high school athletes.
“Remember, to be an amateur, you can’t take any kind of funds that has anything to do with you playing in a contest,”NIL has become a major buzzword in athletic circles since the NCAA authorized players to enter business partnerships based on their celebrity status without losing eligibility. Alabama’s amateur rule currently states, in part: An amateur is one who does not use his/her knowledge of athletics or athletic skill for gain.
“If Nike wants to take a basketball player that’s in the 10th grade and wants to say, ‘No, we are not paying you because you are in uniform or because of your performance, but we want to pay you a million dollars in the 10th grade.’ That child would be able to receive money based on this. NIL in high school will completely change the dynamics of everything.”
