Mater Dei High School is a private, athletic powerhouse, high school in Southern California. They signed a 10 year NIL with Playfly Sports for $1M per year. I am not aware of any high school in Texas that has signed a NIL, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Cali football is just crazy. This just makes it moreso
Perfect Example of a Bucket #2 NIL deal in a HUGE market, Southern California!
THESE are the type of deals Houston needs to get and we are getting these Bucket #2 type deals.
Bucket #2 is sustainable…Bucket #1 is only sustainable for a handful of Universities
In Southern California you have historically Long Beach Poly. It might be the best High School football/sports program in the Nation.
List as of 2024:
Now look at Texas:
Long Beach Poly is a monster of a program.
Now for anyone that does not think we are a “sleeping giant” Just look at the talent coming out of the greater Houston area, including Galveston. Our potential is enormous.
Now look which school is with Playfly:
I am sure we contacted Playfly about our new deal…Just mentioning it.
So the school gets the million. What do the kids get?
It’s more than just hurt feelings when one parent’s, child’s NIL is way over said athlete’s contribution AND EVERYBODY IN THE PARISH…KNOW IT!
That’s a few more drunken shouts at the next Knights of Columbus meeting.
Catholic Mama Bears can smell a cash imbalance not in their kids’ favor from every ATM that didn’t have her money.
Folks, high school NIL will be the grist of microeconomics PhD mills until Cthulhu returns. His path greased by threats of free violence, catholicism and money.
“Porques no los tres?” momento, indeed.
