The companies are sending text messages and emails with the following type of message:
“ Hi John, you’ve been invited to the “Name of Student’s HS Varsity Team” NIL club. Join Here: Link. If you’re planning to be on the soccer team next year, it’s important to get signed up ASAP.”
Please let your coaches and athletes know that this activity is prohibited and not allowable per NJSIAA NIL rules and they should not join the NIL club nor forward an invitation to their teammates.
