NIL Things - All Sports

Ohio administrators reject NIL for high school students in Ohio.

"Out of 792 member schools of the 817 voting, the measure failed 538-254. So, 68% of OHSAA member schools said no. There were 21 abstentions.

By rejecting the proposal, Ohio’s athletes remain unable sign endorsement deals without losing their amateur status."

so does any think that some kids might move out of state to play in a state which has HS NIL deals.

Wasn’t the whole point of NIL to allow players to share in the lucrative TV, conference, and booster money? High School sports are not money makers, except for a few exceptions. In fact many if not most schools charge players a fee to join the teams. I get there are some motivated parents and even more motivated agents hanging around, but NIL for HS just makes no sense.

I wonder if the 32-percent who voted for it are the wealthy districts and private schools.

The players tried before NIL and it didn't go their way. Might still be on the table after all this.

Well Herbie is well connected with the networks and the teams. I would say that it is a logical progression. The networks don't want to upset either side. Since the NIL we are basically in a brand new day. It will be interesting to see if the power schools try to keep the money out of the hands of all the players and force them to attend their schools for the big pay days.

I thought that the PAC already formed unions. Or did they just talk about it?

Kirk Herbstreit predicted this " "I think that there’s another step to this," Herbstreit said. "With the TV networks — I never really said this publicly — but with the TV networks giving a lot of money to college athletics, I think it’s inevitable that eventually the players are going to have it, whether it’s a union or somebody’s going to represent them, and they’re going to say, 'Hey, why not allow us to have a share of the television money?'"

It is safe to say, that it is here.

Although I wish NIL would go away, I think Brey's comment is sensible and realistic.

I agree with that. Coaches need to figure it out as much as they can. It’s confusing right now though.

Well, as fans, we do not make pretty good money and we will not shut up. In fact, we are the ones who are partially funding their pretty good money through tuition, tickets, shirts, etc.

Notre Dame’s Mike Brey with a unique approach to the NIL/portal world: “We've got to stop complaining. This is the world we're in, and last time I checked, we make pretty good money. So everybody should shut up and adjust."

Gene Smith, tOSU AD, said the NIL needs regulating. That comes after they get the #1 recruit for '24. What a coincidence.
