Sounds like it. Which, of course is the next step toward NIL in North Carolina. We have lost all sense of what high school sports should be. Virtual transfer portal and who knows what else. Gambling on high school games? Fixing scandals? Thank God I was born long enough ago to appreciate the beauty of amateur sports.
You’ve probably seen Tennessee’s response. Pretty limited approach if you can’t use the school’s name, image or uniform. Very few athletes could be identified solely by their name except locally.
Exactly. It isn't intended for them to get some sort of national tv campaign. If local QB Joe Cool gets a used Camaro to drive from Smilin' Bob's Clean Used Cars; or all the free sandwiches he and his linemen can put away from the local BBQ pit, in exchange for showing up at the lot or the restaurant on the odd Saturday to press the flesh, then that's about all to expect.
Yeah, I guess it’s terribly old fashioned to think that kids would play sports for the camaraderie, the life lessons and the pure joy of sport. Gotta make a buck off everything in life or it has no value.
That ship sailed. The same legal principles used to allow college kids to profit off of their name will eventually filter on down. In fact, a HS kid probably would have a better case since they aren't getting a scholarship to attend public school. You can try to get ahead of it and set parameters or sit back and have it crammed down your throat by a judge who doesn't give two $#!+$ whether you've got a policy ready or not.
True dat. Doesn’t mean I have to like it. Quit watching professional sports due to the greed by everybody involved. Only watch college bowl games and ACC tournament/ NCHSAA basketball tournament. There’s a lot I need to see and do. I can live without high school sports too if they follow that path. May feel differently someday when my grandson gets there. But he’s seven months. I have time to adjust😁
