This is going to help schools like Jesuit and Central Catholic. They can now pretty much pay players to go there.

Jesuit and Central Catholic has more-or-less been paying for athletes through tuition waivers, access to club teams, private lessons, etc. so this is unlikely to change the imbalance of power more than it already is.

People don't want to believe that high school sports hasn't been pure for a long time, but sadly, I can assure you, it hasn't been.

Too young. Its helping spread the disease of social media addiction.
Kids are growing up too fast and they are not able to handle it.
Marketing is out of control. Children should not be a commodity.

Good thing LeBron didn't have to deal with marketing, name/image/likeness benefits, and social media...

This news doesn't make sense to me.

As far as I know OnlyFans accounts have been available in Oregon for some time already.

ALOT has changed in almost 20 years.

This has potential to now have the world tell teens they suck, etc.
social media can be vile.

watch teen suicides increase as they go to try to promote themselves thinking they are the shit, to find out the world thinks they suck.
Remember, most high school athletes never make a college team, let alone a pro sports contract.
I see many many teens finding out/being told very harshly via social media l, that they suck.

If you want to make a case to ban social media for children, I'm all ears.

This thread is about getting paid for name/image/likeness, which is very different that social media.

He said vial so I'm guessing he wants to put social media posts in tiny little bottles and throw them in the ocean.

How do you think that image is built if not thru social media?

Success on their high school team, success on their club (AAU, 7 on 7, etc) team, standard media, etc.

LeBron had an image without a TikTok account.

Quinn Ewers got PAID by Ohio St without being some viral social media sensation pumping out amazing content. There are plenty of examples.

Lebron is debatably the greatest athlete of all time at 16.
And you are proving my point. The great players will make money regardless. The rest(90+%) will be met with a rude awaking. Why amplify the disappointment of all of the athletes who are not good enough?
 
Got no problem with this. It's the individuals own name, image, and likeness. You should be able to make money off of yourself if you desire.

I thought your point was that NIL is linked to "social media disease". If your only point was that great players will make money reardless, then we agree.

You're citing that all these bad things are currently happening, pre high-school NIL. You haven't provided any evidence that this new will be a net-negative. Could it have negatives to it? Of course. Most change does.

Hot take!

I know I'm thankful I was able to profit on my grocery bagging talents at 16!

The ones that will get NIL deals are already on social media, and already followed by thousands of people. Joe schmoe who won't get a college scholarship isn't going to be pulling in NIL deals. Companies want exposure. Backup PG on Franklin H.S. isn't going to get a brand exposure.

Same! I wish the grocery store was paying me more for my baseball skills but, alas, NIL wasn't around, had to keep that eligibility open!
