Overview
- Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Jaiza Page issued a temporary restraining order that bars the OHSAA from enforcing its NIL prohibition for 45 days.
- Ohio had prohibited high school NIL after a 2022 member vote of 538–254, leaving it among a small group of states with bans.
- The lawsuit was filed by Jasmine Brown on behalf of Jamier Brown, a top 2027 Ohio State commit, whose complaint cites more than $100,000 in lost NIL offers.
- The order allows student-athletes at OHSAA member schools to enter NIL agreements during the enforcement pause.
- The OHSAA said guidance to schools is coming Tuesday, and local reporting indicates an emergency referendum on NIL bylaws could be considered as the timeline accelerates.
