I fully understand the SC ruling, but this NIL guaranteed contract is being used as a payment to assure Ewers signs with them.  How can he even collect in his name and likeness as a Buckeye if he’s not legally a buckeye yet.  You are right, the genie won’t go back in the bottle.  Let the buying of recruits begin…. Oh wait, it already started, Texas just hasn’t figured it out yet
He is a Buckeye. He graduated from high school a year early and is enrolled at Ohio State and participating in training. 

 
I thought he had opted out of playing his senior year. Did he change his mind?
May be a good thing that he's learning that the world doesn't revolve around him and that his choices have consequences. Might help him be better prepared when he gets to UT.

Unless the Texas and the UIL change the rule on high schools and NIL, kids graduating early and skipping their senior years is going to become commonplace as it is for inconsequential bowl games. If you are a 5 star you are not going to want to hurt your earning potential in college. 

 
Back in my day, it was common for parents to hold back their sons a year so they would be bigger/older when they played. I wasn't but a lot of guys I went to school were.
And there was Billy Sims. Old enough to vote and still in high school!k

I found it interesting that Ewers turned 18 back in March. He would have been 19 well before he would have got a diploma.
This is because SLC has a habit of holding kids back in their elementary years in hopes of them being further physically developed by the time they reach high school athletics...

 
Well…….. you can kiss this commitment goodbye!

I don’t believe that was the plan all along.  I thought he would finish at December and enroll then.  Then the NIL came along

That was the plan I’m sure. But if all the sudden you could make 500k or so and you run it by the UIL and they say you can’t take and play high school football, what would you do?  I would advise my son to go to college and get the money 4 months early.  That’s probably what happened. 

 
This is just getting crazier by the day. Texas has offered a safety and cornerback today that are so far down on the rankings that you can't hardly find them ☹️
