Those in the know are High School / AAU players getting paid NIL$ now? -- Hardcore_Hokie Mar 29, 2024 at 03:32 PM ET

Per this article VHSL says yes -- Virtual Hokie Mar 29, 2024 at 04:42 PM ET

@GCHokie34 can you comment on this please? I’m a little confused. -- Hardcore_Hokie Mar 29, 2024 at 05:22 PM ET

Hardcore_Hokie • 03/29/24 05:22 PM ET

Yes... -- GCHokie34 Mar 29, 2024 at 05:24 PM ET

Gotcha. So HS (amateur) kids are getting paid for playing sports… -- Hardcore_Hokie Mar 29, 2024 at 05:29 PM ET

Hardcore_Hokie • 03/29/24 05:29 PM ET

If that's your definition of amatuer... -- GCHokie34 Mar 29, 2024 at 05:34 PM ET

GCHokie34 • 03/29/24 05:34 PM ET

High School is definitely my definition of amateur. -- Hardcore_Hokie Mar 29, 2024 at 05:46 PM ET

Hardcore_Hokie • 03/29/24 05:46 PM ET

I'm under no assumption that really competitive levels are truly amateur -- GCHokie34 Mar 29, 2024 at 08:11 PM ET

GCHokie34 • 03/29/24 08:11 PM ET

If you get paid, you’re a pro. Amateurs don’t get paid. -- Hardcore_Hokie Mar 29, 2024 at 08:17 PM ET

Hardcore_Hokie • 03/29/24 08:17 PM ET

Yeah, I'm saying high school kids have been paid for decades -- GCHokie34 Mar 29, 2024 at 08:24 PM ET

GCHokie34 • 03/29/24 08:24 PM ET

If you get paid in HS, you are ineligible. Nothing has changed but it has.** -- Hardcore_Hokie Mar 29, 2024 at 08:34 PM ET

This post is amazing, thank you for that! -- Hardcore_Hokie Mar 29, 2024 at 04:51 PM ET

There are HS players getting money for different things they didn't... -- Cvillehoops13 Mar 29, 2024 at 03:43 PM ET

If a 17 year old accepts a shoe deal with Nike/Adidas/UA… -- Hardcore_Hokie Mar 29, 2024 at 03:48 PM ET

Yes** ◄ -- GCHokie34 Mar 29, 2024 at 05:16 PM ET

Bacot had a big deal. Should it be? Not gonna chime in on that one.** -- ancient alien 2018 Mar 29, 2024 at 04:13 PM ET

ancient alien 2018 • 03/29/24 04:13 PM ET

But not in High School though, right? I’m trying to figure out… -- Hardcore_Hokie Mar 29, 2024 at 04:16 PM ET

Hardcore_Hokie • 03/29/24 04:16 PM ET

You still have to qualify academically to play in college -- GCHokie34 Mar 29, 2024 at 05:35 PM ET

GCHokie34 • 03/29/24 05:35 PM ET

That I have no clue. Good question on the HS situation.** -- ancient alien 2018 Mar 29, 2024 at 04:35 PM ET
