The governing body for scholastic sports in the state, known as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.piaa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association<\/a> (PIAA), passed an initial reading on Wednesday that will allow athletes to make money from commercial endorsements and promotional activities.<\/p>\n<p>The NIL program in the Keystone State must pass two more readings to be official, which means it is likely to take effect for the 2023-24 school year. There will be restrictions placed upon the athletes when taking part in an NIL activity. They will not be allowed to wear their school uniforms, nor will the activity be allowed to reference the PIAA or the athlete\u2019s school or team name. Limitations will also be placed on what athletes can endorse, with alcohol, gambling and firearms among the restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really need to probably get ahead of this and address it and put some parameters in place to guide students and their families so that they\u2019re educated and they know what they\u2019re getting into,\u201d <strong>Melissa Mertz<\/strong>, the PIAA Assistant Executive Director, told WGAL.com.<\/p>\n<p>NIL benefits were long sought at the college level and athletes around the country are now cashing in on their names, with deals signed with a variety of companies &#8211; local and national. In the sport of swimming, the most prominent NIL deals have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/texas-swimmer-carson-foster-signs-nil-deal-with-mizuno-swim\/\"
