College players aren’t the only ones cashing in on #NILdeals – so are high school athletes.
The Shirley Povich Center for Sports Journalism examined NIL and its impact on high school sports.

Congrats to our student journalists at the Povich Center for this comprehensive look at an issue that has been overlooked by many - a new world in which high school athletes can retain their eligibility while being paid to pitch products, sign autographs and a lot more.
