Wake County judge allows NIL rights monetization for public school athletes in NC.

A Wake County judge in North Carolina has ruled that public school athletes can profit from their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights, issuing a preliminary injunction that allows immediate NIL deals. This decision, prompted by a lawsuit from the family of star quarterback Faizon Brandon, overturns a State Board of Education policy that delayed NIL earnings until July 2025. Specific regulations for public school athletes are still pending.
