Ohio high school athletes will have to wait until college to take advantage of name, image and likeness opportunities.
At least for now.
Over a 16-day referendum period, 813 Ohio High School Athletic Association schools voted on an NIL proposal that would have given prep athletes in the state the ability to make earnings off their name, image and likeness. The proposal failed, with a vote of 538 against to 254 for, with OHSAA announcing the decision Tuesday morning.
#OHSAA REFERENDUM VOTING RESULTS: Member schools passed 12 of 14 referendum items.
