Boise State commit potentially sparks a major change in high school sports across the nation with his NIL lawsuit

Boise State commit potentially sparks a major change in high school sports across the nation with his NIL lawsuit
SHARE

A lawsuit filed by a Boise State commit, Dominik Calhoun, could potentially change the landscape of NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) in high school sports across the nation. Calhoun, a three-star athlete who represented Pittsburg High School in California in football and track, took legal action against the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and other entities such as Spectrum SportsNet and SBLive Sports. The lawsuit alleges that the CIF’s restrictions on NIL violate antitrust laws and seeks damages while demanding a change in the rules.

The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of California federal court, joins other significant NIL cases against the NCAA in the same jurisdiction. Calhoun’s legal team argues that the current policies harm high school student-athletes by limiting their ability to profit from their own name, image, and likeness, while others, including the CIF and its commercial partners, benefit economically. The lawsuit contends that these rules represent unreasonable restraints of trade under the Sherman Act.

Since the NCAA changed its rules in 2021 to allow college athletes to earn from NIL, a burgeoning NIL market has emerged in high school athletics. While 30 states have regulations permitting high school students to profit from their NIL, California stands out as a leading state in this regard. Athletes like Bronny James and JuJu Watkins have already secured lucrative deals in the high school NIL landscape.

Calhoun’s lawsuit challenges the CIF’s restrictions, which prevent high school athletes in California from earning compensation for their efforts and the use of their image and likeness. Yaman Salahi, one of Calhoun’s attorneys, emphasized that the rules unfairly prevent athletes from benefiting from their hard work while others profit from their talents. If successful, this lawsuit could set a precedent for high school sports nationwide, similar to the changes seen in college sports regarding NIL opportunities.

In conclusion, Dominik Calhoun’s landmark lawsuit has the potential to reshape the high school NIL landscape and grant student-athletes more opportunities to benefit from their own image and likeness. As the legal battle unfolds, the outcome could have far-reaching implications for high school sports across the country.
