The Michigan High School Athletic Association approved expanded NIL opportunities for high school athletes. This change allows athletes to earn money from their name, image, and likeness. The process for change began last football season, with a lawsuit filed by Harper Woods High School athlete Dakota Guerrant. Guerrant, a four-star receiver, had been approached with NIL opportunities exceeding $100,000 but was unable to take advantage of them due to the MHSAA's then-NIL ban. The new rule is expected to help Michigan keep its top high school athletes. Michigan is one of the top states for producing NFL players, and this change will help athletes maximize their earnings.
