That statement is hilarious and sounds like it was written by my overly excited grandmother.

"Each day (the law) remains in place inflicts irreparable harm to his career development..."

L-O-L

How did anyone ever make it to big time college football without shilling for local car dealerships?!

Oh, I thought this was going to be about the NCAA allowing D1 athletes and staff to bet on professional sports (https://www.ncaa.org/news/2025/10/8/media-center-di-admin... ).

I'm glad I'm close to retirement. The day I'm lecturing about Teapot Dome to a group of kids with more money from the local laundromat sponsorship than my salary is a good time to step out...

There's one sure fire way to keep high school kids from making money off of high school sports: stop paying attention to high school sports.

It ain't the kids who decided to start televising high school football games, created "prep schools" that are basketball and football factories, and build high school stadiums that are nicer than Peden.

The people to single out certainly aren't the kids. It's the folks who looked at high school sports and saw dollar signs. So long as we're cool with that taking place, it feels weird to moralize about some of that money reaching the kids.

I think I may have been 6 or 7 shining shoes at the Melody Bar in Z-ville when I first heard the phrase "follow the money." Same dude who offered advice every time I fixed up his stump covers. Man was that guy right.

Laugh at that line if you want, but that’s exactly what the argument has been. That’s taken down the NCAA and gotten an NIL and many other states.

Truth to all of this the number of HS Athletes on any type of NIL deal is very very few.

So what's the point of a law restricting it?

By the way, this is absolutely not the legal argument that led to the NIL.

Given this is your 230th new thread about it, you think you'd be able to keep up by now. It's not about "career development" -- it's about anti-trust.

My guess in the upcoming OHSAA vote on this topic, folks will be encouraged to vote yes so that the OHSAA can put guardrails on the process rather than allowing a judge to set the rules.

And you keep being wrong, but at least you own it well. Glad to see I’m still rent free in your head.

I’m still waiting on the NCAA settlement to be not be a binding deal like you’ve kept predicting.

If you want to explain how the sentence "Each day (the law) remains in place inflicts irreparable harm to his career development..." is "exactly what the argument has been. That’s taken down the NCAA and gotten an NIL and many other states" I'm all ears, dude.

And I don't really know what you're talking about regarding my predicting that the deal is binding. What did I predict, exactly? I don't recall, which is weird because you live in my head and all.

And the few have always been "compensated"
