Texas High School Athletes Get NIL Deal Power

Texas High School Athletes Can Now Sign NIL Deals: A Groundbreaking New Law Austin, TX – A new law in Texas is creating exciting opportunities for high school student-athletes. Governor Greg Abbott recently signed a bill allowing high school seniors aged 17 and older to sign Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. This means that these students can now earn money from endorsements and sponsorships. "Texas high school seniors who are 17 or older can now sign NIL deals and make money in high school," said RobbyCTV, a social media commentator who has been following the issue closely. "This is what we've been fighting for!" The law is considered groundbreaking, opening up new avenues for student-athletes to benefit from their athletic abilities. However, there are some rules. Athletes must be enrolled in college to sign these deals, even if they are still in high school. The law also allows for monetization through social media, highlighting the importance of a strong online presence for young athletes. This change is expected to significantly impact the lives of many Texas high school athletes, providing them with new financial opportunities and potentially altering the landscape of high school sports in the state.
