Hot Take - The NCAA will look absolute genius when compared to the MHSAA trying to govern NIL & Transfer Portal.
Go on and take it back to peewee. Players can sign for a box of uncrustables and a gift card to game stop.
I bought my daughter’s team cupcakes and other treats all of the time. I hope I didn’t hurt any of their eligibility because if it was cold I was definitely wearing my State hoodie.
Im honestly not seeing the issue. If there is a market for someone to earn money (legally) then I think we should all be for that. I’d assume most everyone here is good with capitalism.
Now why someone would want to pay a high school kid is a totally different story.
For the record, I can be bought for one family pack of Mega Stuff Oreos and a 2 liter peach Nehi.
I'm suing for back pay, interest and penalties from my JH and HS career from 83-88 at THE COPIAH ACADEMY by God.***
This is gonna be hilarious watching liberals wiggle over this!
If you back this, you back them being able to go to different schools (otherwise you aren’t backing them making “their worth”).
So now yall all gonna be for school choice!!
This is just going to be college boosters putting down payments on prospects
Damn sure ain’t Madison Central. Academy Schools????!!!!!
Yep.
Nobody cares enough to pay money to win in high school, most people are only worried about their own kid. I guess I could maybe see it in MAIS big 4 so they can win their travel ball tournament playoff.
And true NIL? LOL, give me one high school player who actually commands that on their own. I hear Travis Hunter had a social media following while in high school but that's about it, but I bet even that was more about college fans.
I can't believe the depths these seemingly intelligent rich boosters will go to win. The super rich, I get, their money is a rounding error. But all these SEC folks who make good money but not great? I mean it was silly when SMU did it in the 80s and it's silly now.
Unless the kid you're buying is going to take your own kids spot
The best part of this is these kids can stuff the cash in a jar and transfer immediately to the next bidder, because you cannot sue a 17 year-old.
Too young to enter a legally binding contract.
The joke’s on those dumb enough to pay.

How are they going to pay high school kids to transfer? Isn't recruiting kids to transfer or kids playing outside of their district illegal? Yeah, I know today it is all rules, schmules, we don't need no stinking rules.
Hot take, school districts should tax those NIL dollars to recoup the investment that the community spends to provide said athletes this opportunity.
Peach Nehi is a vastly underrated drink on a hot afternoon.
They should tax them the same way they tax any other income/revenue in a like manner.
Did I say anything about transferring? As far as I know, no one is proposing a transfer portal for high school sports. I’d be against that. Try and stay on subject here. We are talking about people being able to make money. Not sure why anyone would want to limit another person being able to profit in a legal manner.
If the claim is for breach of contract, he is correct, at least in terms of practicality. A breach of contract claim against a minor will assuredly fail. Mississippi law classifies under 18 as "under the disability of minority" meaning that a minor is without legal capacity to contract and that defense will certainly be raised to defeat the claim. Exception is made for an emancipated minor (rare).
I love me some Nehi Peach, the nectar of the Gods. You can taste the peach fuzz in one of those. I don't do soft drinks, ever, EXCEPT Nehi Peach in a cup of ice when I am driving on a trip. If I go into a convenience store and they don't have it I'll leave w/out anything and go to the next store. Gotta have some Rock N Roll Stage Planks also to go with it.
My question was on subject. Why would anyone pay someone to stay at a school that they can't leave? I guess they can do like the Colorado high school player a couple of years ago when it became legal to pay high school players there. He threatened to not play if they didn't pay him $30,000. News flash, he didn't get it.
My guess is that is probably what would happen here. There being an actual market and giving someone the ability to take advantage of a market is 2 totally different things. I personally don’t think there will be a market for high school kids to earn NIL but in the chance there is a market, I don’t care that they get paid.
Someone else said it earlier in this thread. All this will do is allow boosters to go ahead and start paying someone to potentially end up at their school.
Yep. Maaaaaybe a local burger joint or something pays the star QB a few bucks to put his pic on a sign in the window but this will by and large be exactly what you said. Fine with me - it's their money to throw away just stop calling it NIL.
I heard there is a bill being proposed to allow more mobility between schools, or that it was part of a school voucher/school choice bill. Don't know if it will have much support, but these are two related items that may be moving separately through the bill process this year. (admittedly I haven't followed it as closely this year, so if they have already been killed, feel free to mock me).
