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.
