Was going to say this. Coached HS sports for 20+ years now and its been going on for 10+ of those years for sure. AAU and non publics HS basketball has many coaches who are only in it for the handler fees.Already happens with AAU basketball behind the scenes more than likely.
This appears to be a wide-open field with so much money being transacted.
Your story resembles that of OJ McDuffie.Private schools have recruited athletes from our public school with free tuition and the opportunity to "re-class" and get an extra year of high school for those who are younger or late developers. Some of these schools are $40k+ per year. That doesn't necessarily make them woth what paid for or, frankly better than our public school that has a great history of success. My dad nearly jumped out his office window when he realized he was paying the same tuition for Widener for my sister as his brother was paying for Penn for my cousin. "Value" like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
Agents already are giving hs kids 'loans' to help them out until they go pro in hope to land them as a client.i think what some of you are missing the amount of money has just grown exponentially. Cam Newton was the best QB in college and I think ended up with $150k. Reggie Bush family got a simimliar money via some cheap housing. Today's best high school players are looking for $500-$1.5M. When talking that kind of money, agents will get involved. Agents cannot make money with McDonald's bags and casino chips and $10k or $50k. Agents can make money when things start going into 6 and 7 figure type negotiations. I suspect you will see agents come into play next year. This is the first true year of NIL and you are hearing some numbers and seeing now how it is playing out. Agents are putting together their business plans now and starting to make contact with the top junior players. I guarantee next year you will see agents involved in the Top 10-20 high school kids and it will snowball from there. College football will be unrecognizable to most people in 3-4 years.
We probably need to define "agent" in this context.This appears to be a wide-open field with so much money being transacted.
Sitting in the Syracuse student section as a 23 or 24 year ad guy I nearly got beaten up by the fraternity of the employee of mine who was my host.Your story resembles that of OJ McDuffie.
OL
I believe that they are referred to as "friends of the family"Agents already are giving hs kids 'loans' to help them out until they go pro in hope to land them as a client.
Giving a kid 100k as a hs sr and steering him to a specific school is an easy investment for 4% of a future 10 million dollar contract with NIL/endorsements.
No this an actual agent. Those friends take more than 4%I believe that they are referred to as "friends of the family"
See ya, college sports. It was fun while it lasted.i think what some of you are missing the amount of money has just grown exponentially.
