Feldman: Louisiana high school students now cleared to get NIL deals.

All it means is that guys will be married to a specific school far in advance of signing day because they will be getting contracts from school conglomerates when they're sophomores or juniors.

ETA: it's not a positive development.

Oh well

College sports has been dramatically changed. We learn to deal with it in a strong way, or we will no longer be considered a very powerful program. Even losing our own state players. That would be like mercenaries, and a sad thing for the fanbase to lose our state heroes.

Kids that deserve deals at a young age will get them. Some will be overpaid, others underpaid, some spot on. Some kids will plateau early, others will bloom late, and the market will eventually regulate itself. God bless America!

A lot of uncles and “handlers” fidna come out the woodwork to get a piece of the pie.

leave it to the NCAA to allow NIL without setting any kind of rules or guidelines.

Umm, it was the U.S. Supreme Court that told the NCAA to GTFO.

Kavanaugh fired a shot across the bow but the actual SCOTUS ruling didn’t address NIL.

What really forced the NCAA’s hand was that there were a batch of state-level NIL laws set to go into effect, and the NCAA ran out of time to come up with a solution.

There was a previous iteration of a proposed NCAA NIL policy that they were trying to roll out early last year. The DOJ reportedly advised the NCAA that the proposed policy would open them up to antitrust actions. So then the NCAA spent the next 6 months or so lobbying Congress to pass a federal NIL law, and when that failed they punted. The current policy was adopted by the NCAA the day before the first round of state NIL laws became active.

Because they NCAA regulates colleges across several states, thus interstate. A high school association only regulates that particular state, thus intrastate.
