It was a bigger deal with NCAA athletes, where the argument was they were already being compensated via scholarships.

I was glad to see that flipped - students with art scholarships could sell their art, but OSU athletes couldn't trade autographs for free tattoos?

I didn't realize it was even a thing with high school athletes, but my stance is the same - athletic associations should not interfere with athlete's personal (and legal) doings off the field.
