MORGANTOWN — According to a policy set by the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (SSAC) and approved by the state Board of Education, high school and middle school athletes in the state can begin to profit from Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deals without losing their eligibility.
The policy, which became public on Aug. 8, now joins West Virginia with at least 40 other states to allow prep athletes to earn NIL money.
SSAC executive director Wayne Ryan did not respond to a message for comment.
