Guess again.

I'm telling you as someone who works in an Illinois public school, that's not how it goes down.Guess again.
Can I see my school record without my parent's consent?
Explains that schools must allow students access to their own permanent records.
"Once you’re 18 or graduate, you’re entitled to see both your permanent and temporary record, and your parents aren’t entitled to see anything."
The advertising dollars.
As someone who works centrally in a Virginia school system, and deals a great deal with student records, while there are federal guidelines/madates (FERPA), states also have varying requirements beyond FERPA -- they are not all the same. Now, back to sports. and NIL.
This was tied to NIL. The question was what's to stop 18 year olds in high school from benefiting. My only point was that there's nothing to stop it, but it won't be as clean cut a some think. 18 is an odd age where you're legally an adult but more often than not still dependent on your parents for the majority of support. Some attorneys will get rich figuring it out on behalf of kids and their families, and then the NCAA will need to decide how they want to handle that.
And I still need to pay their mom until they graduate bc they are not emancipated until they turn 18 or graduate HS, “whichever is later”
Yep. And they're still listed as dependents on things like FAFSA even though they're expected to handle their own matters when they get to college. It'll be interesting to see play out from a thought exercise perspective.
Fair enough. A lot of questions out there and a lot of nuance to work out it it runs to high schools.
I believe this is not legal. Not sure if that's Illinois law or NCAA regs. I think the Opendorse helps, but I'm with you on needing some real chops behind finding these relationships. Get an agency in Chicago or locally that can really make these connections.We need to be proactive on this and not reactive.
Serious question.
Would/could/should or has the Athletic Department hired a person to be director of “alumni and community relations” for athletes that goes out and find sponsorships and endorsements and also reviews any contracts that an athlete my be bring to them?
I still can’t believe any university has a better resource pool than we do. Maybe I’m barn blind.
I wondered about that. Seems dumb that the university could not hire a support person to help these athletes make sure they don’t get stuck with a bad contract/endorsement and also provide some support related to money management.
I get the sense that the DIA is looking to identify those people and perhaps guide them in a legal and ethical way to the athletes.
Maybe. It will change it for sure. College sports as it was has been ruled basically illegal tho so we need to find a new path. We may or may not like it.
I agree, and I am guessing there is probably PR/Marketing department that will help support these student athletes.We need to be proactive on this and not reactive.

Not sure to what extent but I believe Patrick Pierson on the football staff is going to be involved in some of this...We need to be proactive on this and not reactive.

Oh man what a shame that would be
I'd be surprised if Nike didn't sign up Bronny just to be able to feature him in ads with his dad. Now they don't have to wait until he's in the NBA.If Hercy Miller really got $2 million, Bronny James is going to get 10. Kid already has 6 million IG followers, can actually play ball, and will have the entire Klutch Sports/UTA operation behind him.
Craziest of all, my estimate might turn out low.
I don’t know, but I assume when players sign up they give those institutions the right to use their likeness. Maybe someone with direct experience can weigh in.
