Going to start seeing high school kids sign NIL deals.

But how can it be against state law.  Why would the state care?  Oh... I forgot... that great arbiter of high school sports (the UIL) doesn't like it.  There is no state law that says a guy who starts a band in high school can't make money.  There isn't a state law that says you can't get an acting job in high school.  If the fools are stupid enough to give high school athletes money for NIL, you know what they say:  "A fool and his money"...

People care too much about this stuff.  I'm one of them that cares too much.  But my caring doesn't extend to my wallet.  I wouldn't pay a plug nickel to get a player to play for a high school or college and I don't own an NFL team.  There are better ways to spend money.

I'd love to see the ROI on having a HS kid pitch your product or service. Now that I think about it, how did Quinn Ewers NIL deals work out for him at Ohio State? How many autographs does GT Sports Marketing need to peddle for this deal to work out for them?

I suspect THSCA coaches are worried more seniors will sit out their senior years, like incoming RB, Jaydon Blue. Hence, the state of Texas is concerned about this being a growing trend.

More of a “move to our school district and we will make it worth your while” 

Now state HS championships will be for sale, just like college football championships are now.

I guess what I’m saying is that the State of Texas shouldn’t care what high schoolers  do other than graduate.  If they want to play, they play. If they don’t, they don’t.  The State should have no interest. State championships have always been for sale. How many teams actually win one?  On the highest level the same twenty teams seem to always be in it.  They only have one thing in common.

Agree, the State of Texas shouldn't care if NIL is taxable income. Oh, wait, we don't have a state income tax. More incentive for out-of-state "scholar athletes" to choose UT.....or aggy based on this year's class.

Are you saying the professional jobs parents acquire in Southlake, Westlake, and Allen aren't legitimate? For shame

Teams have one thing in common very good coaches.

I don't know why seniors who've already committed and have a D1 scholarship would even want to play in an exhibition game. Why bother? Seems more like a showcase for those who want to improve their opportunities.

Competition? I love football? I wouldn't have thought twice about it.

Once in a lifetime chance, will never come again.

You should've been in Jaydon Blue's ear last year

@Tim_FanGravy if you want to do a NIL deal for a common person. You can at opendorse.com, where one can spend as little as $19 on a person in Texas athletics or other colleges athletics. Or more for former players at certain colleges.   If you want a picture or signature from the player or with the player.

Also, Texas and 10-12 other colleges have agreed with wrangler on NIL so you can buy wrangler products that certain  players may be seen in.

So, those questioning the $150k for Garth; there was a 100k for the whole team that did have a finance class that like 98% of the players have done along with the other 2 conditions that they have dealt with to get the 100k. Then the 50k for the OL in which unless Garth leaves  before next May he can earn more tham the 150k. But if he leaves by December he has a degree and 150k.

There are a few more deals in the works for the whole team and several for positional groups. Some of us know the )( BDMS, big cigars, big time power brokers, big money donors) and some wish they did. Call it what you want.

Has the 100k deal been announced publicly? I don't remember hearing anything about that.

It was announced last December.  It was a talking point by ESPN and most reporters on the national signing day in December along with the 50k for the OL.
