What to know

How the rules play out in Florida.

Florida passed one of the first NIL laws to take effect and has amended it repeatedly to keep pace with the market and the House settlement. High-school NIL through the FHSAA has been more restrictive than the college side, so treat HS deals as limited until verified. Collectives are highly active around the state's marquee programs, and schools typically expect broad deal disclosure.
