I thought that post was not true - everyone loves Gavin in Owensboro and his family.  Clark knows his stuff:

I officially hate what this does to high school football-  I think I’m done this year if this is true.

Is this situation and others like it a shock? We ain't seen nothing yet!

Or put another way, what was standard operating procedure 10 years ago might as well have been from the Roaring Twenties.

16thBB, thanks. I just posted in the game results thread.

 

 

I guess what I don’t understand is it’s still supposed to be a NCAA violation for a school to facilitate a NIL deal is it not. So I’m guessing some business in New Jersey called this kid up and said if you go ahead and enroll now we got this deal for you. Or is it just to the point schools don’t care anymore and it’s just a free for all.

I doubt anyone from the school in an official capacity did it. I think it that is technically against the rules. He may have a marketing agent hired or been in communication with some boosters who made the deal. 

The floodgates have been opened.

Right, no telling how many back channel deals being discussed with high school kids now. Will be going to highest bidder and I don't blame them. Make that money.

I think schools are playing the "we don't know" card a lot. Like Memphis basketball right now. This year especially, there really isn't any one to regulate anything so schools are just going to do what they want until a universal rule comes into place for NIL.

Wimsatt to Rutgers never made any sense to me.  The way this has played out; it makes alot of sense - Dollars & Cents that is.
