I'm under no assumption that really competitive levels are truly amateur

That hasn't been the case for decades

Those in the know are High School / AAU players getting paid NIL$ now?
Hardcore_Hokie • 03/29/24 03:32 PM ET
Per this article VHSL says yes

@GCHokie34 can you comment on this please? I’m a little confused.
Hardcore_Hokie • 03/29/24 05:22 PM ET
Yes...
GCHokie34 • 03/29/24 05:24 PM ET
Gotcha. So HS (amateur) kids are getting paid for playing sports…
Hardcore_Hokie • 03/29/24 05:29 PM ET
If that's your definition of amatuer...
GCHokie34 • 03/29/24 05:34 PM ET
High School is definitely my definition of amateur.

If you get paid, you’re a pro. Amateurs don’t get paid.
Hardcore_Hokie • 03/29/24 08:17 PM ET
Yeah, I'm saying high school kids have been paid for decades
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 • 03/29/24 08:34 PM ET
This post is amazing, thank you for that!
Hardcore_Hokie • 03/29/24 04:51 PM ET
There are HS players getting money for different things they didn't...

If a 17 year old accepts a shoe deal with Nike/Adidas/UA…
Hardcore_Hokie • 03/29/24 03:48 PM ET
Yes**
GCHokie34 • 03/29/24 05:16 PM ET
Bacot had a big deal. Should it be? Not gonna chime in on that one.**

But not in High School though, right? I’m trying to figure out…
Hardcore_Hokie • 03/29/24 04:16 PM ET
You still have to qualify academically to play in college
GCHokie34 • 03/29/24 05:35 PM ET
That I have no clue. Good question on the HS situation.**
