JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Missouri lawmakers approved a bill Tuesday that could open the door for high school recruits to earn endorsements, even before they begin their journeys in college athletics.
The Missouri House approved HB 417 on Tuesday afternoon, though with a key amendment that allows high school students to land endorsements under certain conditions. It also allows college coaches to get more involved with helping enrolled athletes profit off their name, image and likeness.
Mizzou Football coach Eli Drinkwitz shared a photo from the Missouri Capitol on Tuesday, suggesting that the legislation would be a “game changer.”
