OHSAA Votes to Allow NIL Following Five-Star Ohio State Commit Jamier Brown’s Lawsuit
OHSAA member schools voted 447 in favor, 121 against and 247 abstained, with voting open from Nov. 17 to Nov. 21.
“We would like to thank our member schools for taking ownership of this NIL bylaw proposal,” OHSAA executive director Doug Ute said in a press release. “Whether our schools or individuals agree with NIL at the high school level or not, the courts have spoken on this issue across the country that the NCAA and high school athletic associations cannot prevent a student-athlete from making money on their NIL.”
Brown, the No. 1 wide receiver and No. 6 overall prospect in the 2027 class, argued in his lawsuit that he has an earning power of more than $100,000 per year. He told Thamel in October that NIL could be “a game changer for a lot of kids like me.”
“My family is getting by, but being able to use NIL would take some weight off my mom and me by helping cover things like tutoring, training and travel, which help me grow as both a student and a football player,” Brown said.
