2027 CA QB Brady Edmunds is a Buckeye!!!

Using NIL dollars? Is he getting NIL already? I thought he was a Junior in High School?

California allows HS athletes to get NIL deals.

California allows high school athletes to monetize their Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) through endorsements and sponsorships, but they cannot use their school or team affiliation for commercial activities.

Well, this NIL thing is CERTAINLY not off the rails.
Yeah there's multiple states that are allowing HS NIL:

But tbh I dont see it any different than any other teenager having a job. They are very good at a particular skill, so they get paid more, thats no different than any other aspect of life to me. Brady is an exceptional athlete who garners a lot of attention so he would make more money than the kid who just goes to HS and in turn that kid works at Walmart, but I'm sure there's a kid who does very well in STEM, so they can earn money through a company specializing in their particular field. My daughter was in competitive dance and gymnastics and taught kids that as her job

Id bet my next paycheck that my paper route manager took advantage of me way more than 95% of kids good enough to receive HS NIL $.

The Newark Advocate literally let me deliver 95 papers a day every fuckin day and never paid me a goddamn dime. 3 months. Kept promising id get paid the next week then month. Finally I passed it to some other dipshit like the evil demon in that Denzel movie or the gypsy curse in Stephen Kings "Thinner"

I was paid “trainee” wages (i.e. well below minimum wage) at Dairy Queen for six months because, based on my understanding at the time, we had to memorize all of the blizzard combos (because you couldn’t just take five seconds to look on a sheet while working) and pass a test in order to not be considered a trainee . Looking back, I’m positive no such test existed, and it was definitely never offered at any point, banking on high schoolers not knowing or giving a damn about labor laws.

Ironic name for the newspaper in light of this post.

The concept that kids should be allowed to earn isn’t any different than a paper route or whatever.

Obviously the dollars are significantly different and therefore the risks.

I do t think anyone is against safety measures for the athletes but I know when I read “get some control of this” I read it as the powers that be need to be controlling what kids can make.

I have said, and will always continue to say, fuck that.

I am 100% down for anti-predatory adults things but who is going to do that without the risk of them being a predatory adult?
