Virginia NIL has TWO disclosure steps: 1. State law: Disclose the proposed agreement to the school BEFORE signing. 2. VHSL: Written notice to the principal or AD within 72 hours AFTER entering the contract. Timing matters. JDFootballTraining.com/nil #HighSchoolNIL
3
Washington NIL: WIAA doesn't prohibit agents negotiating deals for HS athletes. But endorsements must remain independent of schools and teams, with no school uniforms or logos. Agent involvement doesn't remove eligibility restrictions. JDFootballTraining.com/nil #HighSchoolNIL

West Virginia NIL: A coach knowing a local sponsor doesn't mean the coach can arrange an athlete's deal. WVSSAC prohibits school employee involvement in NIL agreements. Keep commercial arrangements separate from school personnel. JDFootballTraining.com/nil #HighSchoolNIL
15
Wisconsin NIL: A business can endorse an athlete—not their school team. WIAA rules prohibit school uniforms and school, conference or WIAA branding in endorsements. Before posting sponsored content, check what's in the picture. JDFootballTraining.com/nil #HighSchoolNIL

Urgency is a red flag. 🚩 “Sign today.” “Decide now.” “This offer won’t last.” Pressure should slow a high school NIL decision down—not speed it up. #HighSchoolNIL #NILEducation

Wyoming athletes: A nominal fee for coaching youth sports isn't the same as receiving merchandise for athletic fame. WHSAA amateur rules distinguish the two. Check with your AD before accepting. JDFootballTraining.com/nil #HighSchoolNIL #Wyoming

Every NIL opportunity needs a decision process. Not every deal deserves a yes. For high school athletes and families, ask the right questions before you decide. #HighSchoolNIL #NILEducation

NIL headlines get attention. Reality is usually different. Most high school athletes aren't signing massive deals. Understand the reality—not the hype. #NIL #NILEducation

The pizza story. 🍕 Everyone wants a slice when opportunity shows up. But in high school NIL, not everyone at the table has the same interests. Know who’s involved, what they want, and what you’re agreeing to. #HighSchoolNIL #NILEducation

Preparation beats panic. NIL decisions get harder when the opportunity arrives before the education does. High school athletes and families should learn the basics before there’s a deal on the table. #HighSchoolNIL #NILEducation

Good families can still make bad NIL decisions. Not because they don’t care—but because pressure, money, and excitement can move faster than the information. Slow it down. Ask questions. Then decide. #HighSchoolNIL #NILEducation

The High School NIL Smart Hub is for athletes and parents who want to understand NIL before a decision lands in their lap. Freshman through senior year. Here’s who I built it for 👇 jdfootballtraining.com/nil

High school NIL rules vary by state. There are four common approaches—and knowing which one applies to you matters. Know the rules before the opportunity arrives. #NIL #NILEducation

Three timelines. Recruiting. Eligibility. NIL opportunities. They can overlap—but they are not the same thing. High school athletes and families need to understand each one before making decisions. #HighSchoolNIL #NILEducation

Three conversations before an NIL decision. Athlete. Parent. Together. Each may see the opportunity differently. Talk separately, then come together before deciding. Slow it down. Get aligned. Then decide. #HighSchoolNIL #NILEducation

Short by design. High school athletes, parents, and coaches don’t need another 300-page NIL textbook. They need the information that matters—clear, practical, and easy to use. #HighSchoolNIL #NILEducation

High school Athletic Directors — I want to hear from you. I’m looking for a few ADs willing to share what they’re actually seeing with NIL. 15–20 minutes. No sales pitch. Just a conversation. DM me. #NIL #HighSchoolSports
