Idaho NIL Laws

Currently, Idaho has no official legislation governing Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights for student-athletes. In the absence of state-specific laws, it is crucial for both athletic departments and student-athletes to maintain open and transparent communication regarding all NIL-related activities. This ensures compliance with NCAA regulations as well as any policies set forth by individual institutions. By staying informed and working collaboratively, student-athletes can maximize their NIL opportunities while avoiding potential violations that could impact their eligibility or standing within their programs.

In Idaho, high school athletes are permitted to monetize their name, image, and likeness (NIL) as outlined in the Idaho High School Activities Association (IHSAA) rules. Specifically, IDHSAA Rule 8-4 & 8-5 permits NIL activities, allowing athletes to profit from endorsements and other commercial opportunities without jeopardizing their amateur status.
