Theoretically there is no incentive to pay HS players

the reason people want to pay college players is to get the best players to play for them, no one gives a crap if the kid gets paid, they only want the ability to pay the kid so he plays for their school.

There is not much opportunity for that in HS, though I have seen it in IA where they have open enrollment and kids can transfer schools if the receiving school has room. Amazing how they always have room for star athletes. Wouldn't surprise me if local business owners weren't helping that as well, but it's not a huge issue.

Supreme Court decision, will High School players need to be paid too? -- Stech 06/30/2021 8:20PM

The SC ruling did not say schools could pay players -- Vienna_Hokie 07/04/2021 2:40PM

It did say schools could pay players for educational expenses that were not -- Stech 07/05/2021 06:38AM

Was that mentioned in the decision? If not, no. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 07/04/2021 10:22AM

Most (if not all) high schools lose money on football -- Maroon Baboon 07/02/2021 8:23PM

The actual question is why couldn't they get paid? ** -- reestuart 07/01/2021 6:06PM

Are there rules saying HS players can't be paid for things -- SteveInBaltimore 07/01/2021 5:03PM

Well not around here but how bout texas -- VaTech2021 07/12/2021 07:46AM

Also, athletes aren't getting a scholarship to attend public high school -- Maroon Baboon 07/06/2021 12:36AM

A few private schools do...Flint Hill prep in the day was one -- Vienna_Hokie 07/06/2021 06:53AM

Does the NCAA control HS sports? Honest question. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 07/02/2021 08:16AM

FWIW prior to last night if HS athletes got paid for doing endorsements -- VTHokie2000 07/01/2021 7:08PM

Right, but it didn't affect their HS eligibility, as far as I know ** -- SteveInBaltimore 07/01/2021 7:10PM

Correct, but I am not sure people necessarily care about HS eligibility -- VTHokie2000 07/01/2021 7:21PM

Will student athletes be able to sign with a pro-sports team, but... -- EDGEMAN 07/01/2021 08:06AM

I always thought it would be a good idea if NFL or NBA teams could draft or -- Maroon Baboon 07/02/2021 8:38PM

I like that idea! Shift the cost to the pro-leagues. ** -- EDGEMAN 07/03/2021 08:27AM

I think it could actually help kids stay longer in school. -- Maroon Baboon 07/03/2021 09:45AM

Why stop at HS athletes? Why not go all the way down to the Pee Wee level? ** -- VTHokie2000 06/30/2021 8:50PM

I think the same applies -- jesuisvtguy 06/30/2021 9:21PM

Good points but wrong topic, Supreme Court decision was not about NIL LINK -- Stech 07/01/2021 05:28AM

Except at the HS level, the schools won't be providing any "benefits" -- VTHokie2000 06/30/2021 9:25PM

Pretty clear that will not change the athlete's eligibility... -- EDGEMAN 07/01/2021 08:04AM

It won't change it at from the HS level on down to the pee wee level ;-) -- VTHokie2000 07/01/2021 08:50AM
