Affect high school sports. Get ready for what you see in college coming to a high school near you. Sad that this banquet it has come to.
NIL how it can/will
- Thread starter sammyk
- Start date
After following college NIL since its inception.
The main problem with the current iteration of NIL is that people abuse it by paying players in the transfer portal and/or recruits a sum of money to get them to come to their school and play. So it's turned into the rich getting richer...
It's supposed to be about how a kid can benefit from their name, image, and likeness from ads/marketing/sponsorships, appearances, selling of merch/memorabilia/etc. and fundraisers. A big part of it is using social media to drive these campaigns.
I have a feeling College NIL (and hopefully high school) will omit the paying for transfers/recruits part, and keep what it was originally intended to be.

They can't allow HS to be the wild west like they have in college. Rules regulations and accountability are a must.
In the words of Nick Saban
"If you don’t pay the right guys, you’ll be **** outta luck"
Kendre Harrison 5 star TE ranked # 1 at his position went to Providence Day and only played 3 games and is returning back to Reidsville for another State Championship run in football & basketball. He was their leading Receiver and led the team in sacks after 3 games.
He reportedly did NOT get paid any NIL money; therefore, he can return to any public school. I'm curious why he went there at all... He's been stock piling State Titles in 2 sports at Reidsville.
I just wonder if he was homesick/missed his boys at Reidsville, or them not paying him NIL money was the main factor to return back to Reidsville.
It's crazy but Greensboro has the # 1 QB in the Nation for the Class 2026 and Reidsville has the # 1 ranked TE Class of 2026. Both may end up at Tennessee.
