NIL Money For High Schoolers


What they are is the first state to simply say we're okay with this IF you stay in state... Plenty of states are fine with kids being paid soon as they sign regardless of where they end up going. It'll still be pennies on the dollar.cause until a kid signs an loi you can't force him anywhere. Not like missouri is paying kids before they sign with said college. They're actually behind the curve.

I guess we are just going to ignore the fact that these same "inner city" kids have been getting paid (illegally) for the better part of a century. But that's fine.

Why not? (besides the fall on every banana peel on the side of slippery slope mountain justification you've already given) It's called supply and demand. Pretty simple concept. I know most supply-siders like to think the labor market can be treated different than any other market, but when we are talking elite football players, the demand will always outstrip the supply. That the market has been artificially controlled by the demand side for the last 100 years doesn't change the facts as they are - You want an elite football player at your school? You're gonna have to pay up (in 2023... actual, legal, money).

And, you'll notice that neither did I mention a specific race once in my reply. So, the lady doth protest too much, methinks. LOL. That said, I'll play the race card (I guess, if that's what I did) on whomsoever deserves it.

No law need be made. It was an absurd hypothetical meant to do nothing more than respond to your previous absurdity.
Lmao. Yea high-schoolers have been getting paid 100s of thousands and millions illegally for years. Wow!

No they haven't.


If you think only good comes from this then I dont no what to tell you.


Doth protest too much. You realize that's **** people say when they dont have anything else to say. Just like strawman. Doesnt mean jack ****.


Let's give people who can't buy alcohol or cigarettes alot of money! They will be smart with it! Lmfao.
 
No high schooler should be getting paid. Did I ever say white kids or black kids? **** no. I said the kids that will make the most money will come from the inner cities which is a fact based on location of the best athletes in the country.


Play the race card on someone else.



Hey when recruits are killed over money the blood is on your hands. Not mine. I can live with that.


No law will be made that it has to go in a trust. Nice fairy tale though.
Actually the really high paying positions aren't coming from inner city kids period if you consider the majority. QB gets paid the highest followed by oline,dline, then cb,wr,rb etc. But nothing is even close to the first 3. Majority of qbs,oline and to a lesser extent dline don't come from inner citys at all. However still a very good point these kids are gonna start getting kilt over this ****. Cause no matter where they're from most of them surround themselves with a certain element.
 
I get it. Im pro capitalism. I just see this going bad for alot of kids growing up in a generation where life isn't considered valuable.

If it ain't broke dont fix it.
I get where you're coming from. It is humorous to me at 1st when I see high school Athletes posting social media claiming that they are pro athletes.Then I remember E sports where lots of high school kids are making bank doing that as "pro athletes. " I also get where @Memnon Is coming from.

They absolutely have been. Main difference here is the money is far more abundant cause now EVERYONE can get it. As to before it was just the high 4 stars and 5 stars.

Correct that no matter where they are from they surround themselves with idiots.

Im all for people making money. As everyone should be. I just think they should wait till college to start paying them.


People need to think back to when they were 18. Then imagine having 100s of thousands of dollars. Youre gonna do dumb ****.
 
Adults get robbed & killed everyday, should we not allow them to have money either?

What kinda logic is that?
You have to see his point though. Yes there's plenty of kids aware of how life is out here. BUT there's far more who are now gonna be targeted. Who are now gonna buy illegal guns since they can't get them legally. And so on and so on. Kids for the most part don't really understand (as a majority)what's goin on out here and how to avoid it. That comes down to parenting and positive role models,people in their circles etc. We all know good amount of parents in this society have already let their kids down and in this particular topic have more interest in the money then their own kids welfare. What do you think happens from there. Honestly I'm sorry, I agree for the longest that there needs to be some kind of pay for play in place. But I think this is just horrible and wrong from so many stances. Atleast before when kids were getting paid it wasn't simple public knowledge. U weren't automatically a target for anyone who is trying to come up. Now u are. If you're any kind of real jack boy who 9 out of 10 has no conscience, who are you going after? The older heads that have made their bread however and no what's waiting out there or the naive kids who don't understand what it takes to keep it?

Thank you for how you broke this down.

we are talking about kids. In a generation where they are less mature and live their lives online. When you start seeing these kids buying fancy cars, clothes, shoes, jewelry youre going to see them become targets. They can't help but post it online. Gangs watch that **** looking for easy targets.
 
Ummm, not sure about kids getting robbed & all that, but what this law is stating or trying to entice is Missouri talent staying in Missouri. These NILs r only applicable IF a kid stays home & sign w/ a State University. This brings a whole new meaning to putting up the fence.

So only kids from upper middle class should get NIL?

How many High School recruits have been robbed & killed before?

Yall are taking extremes & making it the norm when that’s not the case at all.

It’s a very backwards way of thinking & based on stereotyping more than reality.
 
Came back to see how my thread was goin...

Let's give people who can't buy alcohol or cigarettes alot of money! They will be smart with it! Lmfao.
Inflation's a *****, huh? Yesterday's price ain't today's price. Either way, if you don't think the bag game has existed for the last 50 years, I don't know what to tell you.

This ----> Let's give people who can't buy alcohol or cigarettes alot of money! They will be smart with it! Lmfao. - is a completely different argument than "inner city kids will get jealous and murder each other." Equally dumb, but different.

It has meaning. Beyond alluding to the frailty of the lesser *** - you thought you got accused of something (which you are guilty of) and decided that the best course of action in proving your (feigned) innocence would be to deny it vociferously. Classic Shakespeare. I guess I could've used hit dogs holler, or some other idiom - but I'm a fan of the Bard.
 
Bigoted? Lmfao wow. Dumbest thing I've read in a while. Congrats. Caring about kids is bigoted. Let me guess because I said inner cities.


If only fairy tales lined up with data. According to a University of California, San Diego paper published in the journal Basic and Applied Social Psychology, young adults are more envious than older adults. They are more envious over looks and for a wider range of other reasons, too.



**** facts!!!!! No need for them *****.
But you’re drawing conclusions with no evidence at all; you’re assuming that because a kid lives in certain neighborhood that he’s going to get robbed or killed just because he has a hypothetical amount of NIL money...

You’re making the argument that kids in the inner city shouldn’t be allowed to make money because they could get killed... That’s a really really stupid argument.

What facts support that kids with NIL deals will be robbed & killed? Name one case of a NIL recipient that was robbed or killed?
 
Kids are allowed to make money off YouTube...

But kids can also get shot in a school shooting.

Kids shouldn’t be allowed to make money on YouTube anymore.
 
So only kids from upper middle class should get NIL?

I certainly never said any class of kids at all. I'm speaking as a majority when I talk about this topic. Kids as a whole are simply different from what we know of our age group. Some things we see as common sense come about because we were raised to have it. You say I'm simply taking extremes and maybe that's so. But I'm taking it because I've personally lived through and seen ALOT of extremes first hand. This is reality in this society we live in. I just had 5 of my people inside of the last two months killed over nothing but what they had on them. I just had one killed in a club last week because buddy didn't like what his runner said when they were bringing out his bottles. He was shot dead in the middle of a ****** night club over a message on a board while bringing out bottles. To clarify, NO, I'm certainly not saying THAT is the norm. I'm simply saying look how ****ed up this society is and the **** people get killed for these days. Why complicate it. How many times we heard about dudes first getting into the league putting there money into the streets to flip it? Now make them 4 years younger with that same type of money. Those same kids who as pros are and have been atleast surrounded by dudes of that same mindset. Well now make them kids. How many kids are simply trying to think of a quick come up & don't comprehend what they doing to get it. How many jits we gotta see rob and kill people before we atleast comprehend this is reality now. Kids on some wild ****. People on some wild ****. Society is ****ed but now I'm goin somewhere else entirely. Lmfao. It's all my way of saying these kids will be targeted no matter how old they are cause that's just what people do now. Anyone and everyone is a target if it serves their purpose.

Lmao. Alot of absolutely nothing. Remarkable actually.

Lesser ***? Thought we were all equal?


So you're saying I'm guilty of being what? Let's hear it.

I've had a few of those YouTube kids that are a bigger deal then most hit me up. Two of them I can think of get hit semi regularly and one in la has to pay rolling 60s so he has protection now. Would that be happening if he wasn't putting himself in the limelight?

so kids shouldn't get paid but adults can take advantage of their fame and attempt to profit off of it, schools and websites can drive traffic and advertising dollars off these kids, but the kids themselves shouldn't get paid bc someone may get killed over jealousy?
