It has reached into high schools. I think the strategy is tie into a high school player with NIL and then become an agent when it’s time for the NFL.

NIL for fetuses is going to be a thing.

So is there a transfer portal for high school too?
Lol this NIL isn’t even sustainable long term if rich donors dish out money to athletes if they can just transfer at will after a year
That’s why schools like UH don’t have NIL support for football. Why spend all this money when they will just transfer to an SEC school after 1 good year in the Big 12

In Cali they transfer like crazy. So rich dads with a QB son will pay tuition of WRs & OLs if his son will start

Like, why are we selectively anti-capitalistic when it comes to this subject?
You don’t think high school age kids, or even younger, in the entertainment industry (as an example) are courted heavily for their “talents”?
Shouldn’t all Americans be paid per the value they bring to the marketplace, perceived or real?
It is called an investment.
Why do we continue to think athletes are evil for accepting money when the market place easily tells us it is an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars?
Their talent should be valued ant NOTHING?

Pure capitalism does not work, especially if trying to provide a competitive league for people to watch.
NIL is not being used as NIL. I doubt most people care if an athlete is paid to be in a commercial, post online or sign an autograph. The pay to play is the problem when it is not regulated and being used to cheat and be called NIL.

There is an LSU story about Herman Johnson, who was the largest baby ever born in Louisiana, 15 pounds, 14 ounces.
The story goes that after the doctor delivered Johnson, the doctor whispered in Johnson’s ear, “LSU”.
