PENNSYLVANIA, USA — The high school athletes in your hometown could soon be showing up in ads and commercials.
On Wednesday, the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) approved a new name, image, and likeness policy.
That allows stars in high school sports or any student participating in sports to make money promoting products or businesses.
This follows a similar move in college sports recently.
There are some things the athletes can't promote, including alcohol, gambling, and weapons, and this goes into effect immediately.
