[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 1005185, member: 2426"] I don't see any problem with an ACTUAL professional league. I don't have any problem with college nor high school students making money from ACTUAL name, image, and likeness opportunities. Should a high school student be prevented from making money on Instagram simply because he plays football or basketball? There have been issues with high school players being recruited and being paid. There have been issues where high school players are recruited, and then one of their parents suddenly has a good job at a company owned by one of the high schools' big athletic supporters. High school NIL has nothing to do with name, image, nor likeness. It is permission to pay the players. In Georgia, it was implemented because a mutt recruit was transferring out of state to a state that allowed high school so-called "NIL". I think college "NIL" is just another thing that is going to cause a court to rule that athletes are employees. They are being paid. Even though the money doesn't come directly from the school, the coaches decide how and who to spend it on. Sounds a lot like employer behavior. Back to the professional high school league. In my opinion both high school and college would be much better off if there was an actual professional league that players interested could play in. That would allow high school to compete with high schools, and colleges to compete with colleges. There are many-many high schools that do not engage in recruiting and payments for players. It isn't fair for them to have to compete with schools that do. [/QUOTE]
