NIL in Mississippi

Researched — we're confirming with Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) before turning this on.

What the current rule says

Who may participate

No minimum is listed in the current state row.

School branding

No school-branding restriction is listed.

MHSAA has NOT formally approved NIL. A 2026 bill to protect NIL rights died in committee. HOWEVER, MHSAA's own executive director has acknowledged student-athletes may sign a deal under an unofficial arrangement: no money/benefit received until graduation or eligibility exhausted; no school colors, uniform, or position identification used.

Businesses and categories

No prohibited categories are listed in the current state row.
