During the meeting, the board support a proposed change to amend the definition of NIL collectives as it pertains to Bylaw 9.9.4.2, which states:

NIL Collectives include but are not limited to, groups, organizations, or cooperative enterprises that exist to collect funds from donors, individuals, or businesses to:

help facilitate NIL deals for student-athletes;

• facilitate payments to or transfers funds to student-athletes;
• create ways for athletes to monetize from their NIL; and/or
• otherwise promote NIL for schools or student-athletes.
• NIL Collectives shall not include school sanctioned team fundraising.
  This and all other proposed bylaw changes made by the board went before the state school board in Florida today to be included in the FHSAA Handbookfor the 2024-25 school year.
  The FHSAA Board of Directors will convene their first regularly scheduled meeting of the 2024-25 school year on September 22nd-23rd at the FHSAA office in Gainesville.
