In recent years, litigation coupled with a shift in policy and legislation resulted in the amateur athletes obtaining the right to earn compensation for the use of their name, image and likeness (NIL). The NIL contracts, in the modern sense, emerged at the collegiate level, but now, high school student athletes in some states across the country can profit off of their NIL. 

On July 24, the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) approved changes to FHSAA Bylaw 9.9 which governs amateurism, and now, NIL for Florida high school student-athletes. These changes to Bylaw 9.9 will allow Florida high school student-athletes to profit from the use of their NIL while maintaining their high school athletic eligibility.
