NIL - Name Image Likeness Statement

Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) Statement

Princeton City Schools and Princeton High School support our student-athletes while remaining committed to full compliance with Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) rules regarding Name, Image and Likeness (NIL).

Any NIL opportunity involving a Princeton student-athlete is a private and independent arrangement between the student-athlete, their parent/guardian, and an outside third party.

Princeton City Schools, Princeton High School, the Princeton Athletic Department, its athletic teams, coaches, administrators, booster organizations, foundations, and other school-affiliated entities do not fund, provide, arrange, facilitate, administer, or guarantee NIL compensation for student-athletes.

No taxpayer funds, school funds, athletic department funds, or donations made to Princeton City Schools, Princeton High School, Princeton Athletics, or school-affiliated organizations are used to compensate student-athletes for NIL activities.

Additionally:

  • NIL compensation may not provide money, merchandise, services, or other benefits to

    Princeton High School or any Princeton athletic team.

  • Princeton High School names, logos, mascots, trademarks, uniforms, and other school-

    owned identifiers may not be used in compensated NIL promotions in a manner

    prohibited by OHSAA rules.

  • NIL activities may not imply that Princeton City Schools, Princeton High School, or

    Princeton Athletics endorse or sponsor the agreement, business, product, or service.

  • Coaches, administrators, booster organizations, foundations, and other representatives of

    the school may not provide NIL agreements to student-athletes.

  • All NIL agreements are the responsibility of the student-athlete and their family and must

    comply with applicable OHSAA rules and reporting requirements.

Princeton City Schools remains committed to ensuring that public funds and school-related donations support the educational and athletic programs of the district—not private NIL compensation for individual student-athletes.

Questions regarding OHSAA NIL regulations should be directed to the Princeton Athletic Office at (513) 864-1580.
