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:

    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
