Last week at the WIAA’s annual meeting, member schools approved name, image and likeness for high school students.
NIL will be implemented in May or June, opening the pathway for high school athletes to get paid.
There are rules though as to who can and can’t offer athletes money.
The schools’alumni, businesses who have already supported your school, coaches, past coaches, boosters are not allowed to give student-athletes at your school money. .
Currently there are now 45 states in the country that have approved NIL for high school athletes, but it doesn’t mean athletes everywhere will be getting deals? Not even close.
NIL appears to be something elite Division I-bound athletes like Oshkosh North’s Xzavion Mitchell, who’s going to Iowa State on a basketball scholarship and a few other athletes.

After conversations with the Indiana Pacers front office,Tyrese Haliburton’s ‘s father, John Haliburton, will not attend the team’s home and road games for the foreseeable future, a Pacers spokesperson told ESPN.
This was a decision made by the team’s front office, and John Haliburton was understanding and accepted the decision. The move comes after John Haliburton and Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokoumpo got into a heated confrontation following Game 5 of the teams’ first-round playoff series Tuesday, spurred by what Antetokounmpo called a “disrespectful” exchange on the floor.
The Pacers were celebrating Tyrese Haliburton’s go-ahead layup with 1.3 seconds left in overtime that gave them a series-clinching 119-118 victory. According to Antetokounmpo, John Haliburton walked toward the Bucks star waving a towel and swearing at him.
John Haliburton apologized on social media shortly after the game, writing: “I sincerely apologize to Giannis, the Milwaukee Bucks and the Pacers organization for my actions following tonight’s game. This was not a good reflection on our sport or my son and I will not make that mistake again.”
Tyrese Haliburton said after the game he didn’t know what happened until he got back to the locker room, but he agreed that his father was out of line and said he had a conversation with him as well.
