NIL in high school

Can you contract with high school players for multiple years?

Let’s say Bama’s QB charges $1m per year for an endorsement. Could you offer Johnny Football Star $250k for 5 years while in high school to lock him up in case he becomes Bama’s QB?

Contract him for what? Could adidas give the Carrollton QB $2M to be his exclusive athletic sponsor for 5 years? Sure.

That’s probably not how most NIL deals are structured though. Most are just come play here for a year and we’ll slide you some cash or a car

Yes it is. It is the preferred soap of boaters because it floats. You can jump into the lake to take a bath and your bar of soap will float right next to you.

Why? I thought HS players had to play in district unless they went to a private or city school. What is the NIL for? I just don't get it.

Loopholes in the rule. Hiring parents onto staff to justify. Redistricting. Fake addresses. This already happens at every big HS program in the country. It’ll just be ramped up now as it’s been in college.

Marilyn Chambers also had decent floaters but that wasn't what she was especially known for.
 
I imagine this would only make the Buford's, Carrollton's, and Prince Avenue's even more unbeatable for the foreseeable future.

Georgia is just one of 30 states that have already voted for NIL at the high school level.

I saw that soon after reading the original article.

Who cares. If you’re dumb enough to give a highschooler money to play for your local HS, or if you really think they will do great advertising be my guest.

From the highschooler side, there’s nothing immoral about making money. Go for it.

NIL is a thinly veiled sham for paying players to play for your team. We all know this. If pay for play was considered a violation before, benefiting mostly the big money programs, how is shifting it into high gear now somehow a good thing?

Players can work during the off season to make money just like most of us did.

You do realize pay for play is next, right? What the players don’t realize is they will have performance based contracts. This will sort of level set everything giving schools leverage. I don’t think it’s going to go over very well with players, but this is what they asked for (NIL, pay for play).

The NCAA is hanging on by a thread, and everything people complain about regarding NIL, Portal, etc all could have been resolved years ago by the NCAA working with conferences and schools. Instead the NCAA relied on the government and courts to back them, and they failed miserably. No one to blame except themselves.

As far as anyone whining about HS, college kids benefiting from NIL are just salty at this point.
 
The NCAA needs to die. If NIL is the cause of that death then I‘m all for it. A corrupt governing body is worse than no governing body - unless you enjoyed having GT forced to take down a banner while Bama, Auburn, Georgia, Clemson, FSU have never been asked to take one down.
