COLUMBUS, Ohio - Franklin County Judge Jaiza Page granted a temporary restraining order against eligibility rules that prohibit high school athletes from signing endorsement deals and keeping their amateur status, according to NBC4 (Columbus).
The order was granted after the family of Dayton area receiver Jamier Brown's mother sued the Ohio High School Athletic Association.
The temporary order will last about 45 days until another hearing is scheduled on a potential prelininary injuction, so in the meantime the OHSAA can not enforce its NIL rule on high school athletes.
"The court does find that granting this will allow for expanded oppotunities for high school students and youth across the state of Ohio," said Judge Jaiza Page, Additionally, allowing this temporary restraining order will align this state's policies for high school students with a majority of the other states across the country."
Brown, who plays at Huber Heights Wayne, is rated as the 12th-best recruit in the country in the class of 2027, according to 247Sports.
One note is about 40 states have rules allowing high school athletes to sign NIL deals while keeping their amateur athletic status.
An email was left for the OHSAA at press time there was no response.
