The above infographic from Influential Athlete, and provided by the WIAA to its member schools, outlines name, image and likeness (NIL) language that will go into effect for Wisconsin student-athletes later this month. NIL came as the result of a 293-108 vote by member schools in support of the measure during the WIAA’s annual meeting held April 24, 2025 in Stevens Point. (Submitted image)

More than 100 school delegates who voted against NIL last spring changed their minds this year — and some of the votes that flipped came from the Northwoods.
