NIL

Anyone who supports free market capitalism should fully embrace Name Image and Likeness. NIL is free market capitalism at its finest.  Paying for apartments, paying bills, providing vehicles, and providing employment for parents has been going on for years and years across the state across many sports.  The TSSAA just took this issue off of their plate.  These issues have been and will continue to be nearly impossible to police.

This deal is not "for the kids"... this is intended for those with the means to be free from scrutiny when actively recruiting athletes, period. TSSAA's mission statement includes the language for providing a level playing field, yet they just enabled an outside entity to bribe an athlete to play for the school of their choosing over another, that without their influence the kid would be enrolled at. It just so happens that the collateral damage will elevate "daddy ball" to heights never witnessed before, along with selfish play (can't get a deal by playing team ball). If you believe that this is free market capitalism rather than exploitation of minors, you probably approved of Nike shoes being made in those sweat shops where 10 year-olds were working 16 hour shifts making 50 cents a day... just sit back and see how this works.

Who knew that if a kid in high school gave a 8 year old hitting lessons, and got paid for the instruction, that was a violation.  If that is the case, I hope the statue of limitiations is up for someone who graduated in 2015.  LOL. 

You took the kid's lunch money as payment?   I hope they lock you up a couple days.   :lol:

    • Hmmmmm……doe dee doe doe….i drove the lawnmower down to practice today…….hmmmm…… we got some new faces………. One can run faster than my lawnmower in fifth gear…… a few will be disappointed come November that they jumped ship and went down to that sewage facility……. You can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.
    • Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think. 
    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
