    This is an interesting and dangerous precedent. This will be used in all travel ball sports to influence or control where kids go to school. See AAU basketball for rampant examples. Look for the shoe and apparel companies to spread beyond basketball and football in their business of influencing "amateur" athletes.

    I can foresee Lady Dukes girls who get NIL money from this source to end up at OU, Texas, Texas A&M and other big money programs, who now have a path to funnel money to recruits through willing accomplices in the sports business.

    Isn't NIL a college thing? If your paying a travel ball team not affiliated with an NCAA sanctioned sport aren't you just paying athletes kind of like professionals?

    Do not lose amateur status. At least not yet since no organization (NCAA, LHSAA, etc) has done anything to try and get a handle on this.

    Maybe I'm missing the boat and its not an apt comparison, but I wish the national media was as upset about the effects NIL will have on college sports as it is about how Saudi Arabia and the LIV golf tour thing will siphon golfers away from the PGA.

    At the end of the days, its about who has the most money.

    I have been looking for a decent article written in layman's vernacular to describe how NIL came to be from a legal standpoint. Here is a pretty good one for anyone wishing to learn:
