This is off the subject, but it concerns HS football on TV, and I thought more people would see it here. If you're not interested, please skip it.
Tomorrow night (8-22-24) on one of the ESPN channels Grayson (GA) plays Thompson (AL). The most significant thing about that to me is the Thompson QB, Trent Seaborn, claims to have refused a 7 digit NIL offer. His reasons were he would have to transfer out of state because Alabama does not allow NIL for HS, and he didn't want any problems about money with teammates on his existing team, or any team he might transfer to. Pretty honorable to me, if true.
If this interests you, there is a lot of STUFF on Google and YouTube, if you search Thompson HS football or Trent Seaborn. You can decide for yourself what you believe, or you don't believe. One thing you can believe is last season when Seaborn was in the 8th grade he lead his team to a blow out win in the Alabama Class 7A Championship.
One other thing you might care about are the football facilities at Thompson HS. To me it's more the training facilities than the stadium. They are easily searched and are hard to believe, but there is video for proof. Where the $$$ come from is a mystery to me.
Hope being off the subject didn't mess up anybody's day.
