Indiana's Personal Branding Activities rules, translated into plain English — free guides for families and student-athletes navigating PBA for the first time.
Both are free downloads. No credit card, no trial.
Indiana's PBA framework lets high school student-athletes earn money from their name, image, and likeness — but only inside a specific set of rules. Step outside them, even by accident, and it can affect eligibility.
Certain endorsements, personal appearances, and social content deals that don't reference a school, team, or use school marks — when structured correctly.
Activities that imply school endorsement, use of school facilities or uniforms in promotion, and certain categories of sponsor.
The rules get updated, the language is written for compliance officers, and a single social post can trigger a review.
We translate current rules into plain language and give you a free, practical starting point — not legal advice, but a real head start.
Know what you can do before you sign or post anything.
Understand your role in protecting eligibility.
Stay current without becoming the compliance department.
Learn how to approach a student-athlete correctly.
A plain-language starting reference before deeper legal work.
