The change would allow student-athletes to receive money, compensation, endorsements or gifts of monetary value, as long as they are not affiliated with their “school team, school, Conference or WIAA (scholarships to institutions of higher learning are specifically exempted),” according to the amendment.
That means a student-athlete cannot appear in their school uniform nor utilize the school’s marks, logos, school, conference or WIAA in any endorsement. Prohibited activities and products include “gaming/gambling; alcoholic beverages, tobacco, cannabis, or related products; banned or illegal substances; adult entertainment products or services; weapons (i.e. firearms),” according to the amendment.
