NIL Money For High Schoolers

Advertisement
Kids don't even have time these days to develop values, teamwork or true work ethic bc they are too busy chasing the all mighty dollar. NIL is only 1 aspect of it that's highly publicized and getting worse by the day.....social media by far is the worst. When you incentive poor choices and poor behavior simply bc it drives traffic, you are incentivizing a future of stupid......mixed with sensationalism, lies, possible criminal activity and other negatives forms of attention seeking behavior.

Maybe we should start paying middle schoolers who pretty promise to stay local local if/when they are of age to go to college. I'm sure a parent or two are willing to use their kid as a cash cow so they can use the proceeds to fund their own fun and games.

That you wouldn't sack up.

If I have something to say to another man I say it.

Exactly. I knew it. You knew it. There was no reason to ask about it or feign ignorance. That’s why it was dumb.

Because it takes oh so much courage and guile to type a big mean comment on the internet…

Fine. Tough guy. You said a racist thing. Actually, since you asked, I won’t couch it - you’re a racist. The fact that you would take such offense to being labeled one (anonymously, on the internet) again reinforces my original doth protest comment.

There. I sacked up. Now what?

im sure youre a fellow white thinking youre morally superior.

Funny that I've had great conversations in here with Black posters. None of which have called me racist.


Thanks for growing a pair. Was it that hard?

They both make valid points and he may be right the inner cities be wylin. It will happen but these kids were getting paid already so.

Kids in general are dumb man. Like I've stated. Im all for anyone making money. I just dont think people look at possible consequences before passing some of this ****.

I just dont want to see any kids get hurt. To me it seems safer to pay them in college. No matter what, I hope someone teaches these kids how to manage their money.

Not quite.

You have black friends. Cool.

I said what I said the first time. Took no more or less balls - only less brain cells - to say it your way.

Personally I don't have any problems with kids getting it. I see much MUCH more of a problem in making it public knowledge. Especially when 9 out of 10 it's greatly exaggerated what they're getting.

Yeah... I should have been clearer. I don't have a problem with the kids getting paid and think that they should (I have consistently been on the bandwagon that they should get paid). I just don't care for how it is being done at times; for example if this law only allows kids who commit to an instate school to get money as the headline suggests.

Either way, I think it is silly to suggest that someone shouldn't be able to get paid b/c someone else might attack/rob them.

To suggest they shouldn't be paid because of anyone else is absurd. BUT alot more needs to go into this process rather than simply here's this money for you. Needs to be some kind of way to make it more private and to educate kids about the positive and the minus that goes into it.
 
how much could a high school kid actually make in these NiL deals..I doubt a company is going to pay them huge bags unless it’s like a lebron james type

Any thoughts on regulations like the ‘Coogan Law’ in California? The law requires a significant portion of income earned by child entertainers be placed in a trust until the child reaches 18. Or maybe 21. Prevents parents from using their children as cash cows.

We’re discussing late teens as far as athletes go, but you never know.

I haven't read the whole thread yet but just want to say I'm good with anything that legally spreads money out to people who need it and are willing to put in work for it.

I agree with you I just don’t agree with the stipulation that it has to be an in state school. That actually inhibits their ability to earn their worth and limits their choices. It’s counterintuitive to the goal and obviously geared towards benefiting the colleges.

Look, anyone who is shocked that @crossover22[]_[] says bigoted things and then tries to backpedal and turn those comments into peer-evaluated social studies thesis statements supported by vague articles and stats he read online...

Congratulations on joining CanesInsight five minutes ago, I hope you will enjoy posting.

The real hallmark of this kind of @crossover22[]_[] 's criticism involves the assumptions and the hot-button words. There's always so much concern about "the kids" and "inner-city" individuals, and let's not forget the inevitable invocation of the worst place on the planet, CHICAGO. It's all a part of the same faulty analysis and stereotyping.

Let's just be honest. I don't care how much money you have, as long as you...you know...USE A BANK, you are not out there being robbed every day. There are soooo many people with far more money than a few hundred P5 football/basketball players, and they are not all being robbed. And, sure, some can claim that this is also about age/immaturity, but...

There are plenty of young "influencers" who make money. Young models. Young individual sports stars like tennis players and golfers. Young soccer and basketball players in countries not named "the USA". There are young pop stars and young actors. In short, I am not sure why we are bemoaning some sort of massive nouveau riche problem among a (comparatively) small group of newly-empowered (last 2 years) high-level football/basketball players.

How is it that EVERY OTHER GROUP of "young" people who have started to make money...are not surrounded 247 by stickup artists and killers? Nobody says that "kids" are not envious or any other emotion. But there are SO MANY avenues by which young people can make money...can anyone tell me when some young envious kids robbed BTS because they had money?

This whole expression of "concern for inner-city kids" is so strange. Someone has mentioned the Coogan Law, which could easily be enacted in the 49 states not named California if people really carrrrred so much. Otherwise, it's very condescending and biased to ONLY express concern recently, and only for fooball and basketball players earning NIL (if they come from the inner city), while ignoring all other walks of life that are allowing young people to make large sums of money before they reach the age of adulthood.

I'm sure @crossover22[]_[] will soon reference yet another study or article that he found online. Good for him. But there was really no reason to bring "inner city youth" or "Chicago" into this conversation. ANYONE who gets a large sum of money at a relatively young age (teen-agers or young adults) without the benefit of financial obligation is subject to any number of risks. That has been happening for quite a long time, and will continue to happen. Two years worth of NIL payments to a few hundred of the better pre-professional football/basketball players is not going to change that equation.

It's just the state attempting to protect state institutions. Old school protectionism. Bull**** and maybe even unconstitutional (via the dormant commerce clause).

In principal it's a decent idea. But I've already seen that circumvented on a regular basis. Also by doing that you'll simply dissuade kids from signing with California schools eventually. The way most kids have got around it is simply by establishing residency anywhere else.
