""OHSAA's blanket ban not only singles out Ohio's high school student athletes for unequal treatment, but it also unlawfully suppresses their economic liberties, freedom of expression, and restrains competition in the NIL marketplace," the complaint states."
""What pushed me was knowing that allowing NIL for high school athletes in Ohio could be a game changer for a lot of kids like me," Brown told ESPN. "My family is getting by, but being able to use NIL would take some weight off my mom and me by helping cover things like tutoring, training and travel, which help me grow as both a student and a football player.""
""parent or guardian""
A lawsuit filed in Franklin County seeks to allow Jamier Brown to benefit from his name, image and likeness while in high school. The complaint, brought by Brown's mother Jasmine as his parent or guardian, names the Ohio High School Athletic Association, which prohibits athletes from profiting off NIL. The complaint alleges the OHSAA ban singles out student athletes, suppresses economic liberties and freedom of expression, and restrains competition in the NIL marketplace. The filing cites Brown's earning power of more than $100,000 annually and mentions trading card deals plus significant non-monetary benefits. Brown is committed to Ohio State, plays at Wayne High School in Huber Heights, is listed by ESPN as a top prospect in the class of 2027, and says NIL access would help cover tutoring, training and travel expenses.
