State of Missouri Allows High School Senior Athletes To Make NIL Money But Only If They Commit To In-State School

What you described as "legal standing" is capacity.

In the context of contract law, the term “capacity” is their ability to meet the elements required for someone to enter binding contracts. For example, capacity rules often require a person to have reached a minimum age and to be of sound mind.

That’s the Declaration of Independence.

The constitution says
“nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law”


In general, I’m against anything Missouri does on principle, but that goes back to the Big 8

...and the preamble to the Declaration says:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

So yeah....it IS your right as an American to pursue your own happiness.

Here is the exact language in the Act:

16. (1) (b)A high school athlete shall have the right to earn or attempt to earn such compensation only after signing an athletic letter of intent or other written agreement to enroll in a postsecondary educational institution in this state.

Like I said.... Take your official visits or even commit to an out of state school.

Just don't negotiate or sign an NIL until you graduate high school in May. Or don't get caught negotiating NIL anyway. LOL

If you're that highly rated of a player then schools will wait. This should really only effect 2* and 3* guys if people just say "OK fuck you then".

I expect this overreach to be challenged in court at some point in the near future.

Are you under the delusion that the Declaration of Independence is a binding legal document for US Citizens?

Hint: It isn't.

You keep using this phrase. This is not in the Constitution.

There are no rights bestowed to US Citizens in the Declaration of Independence. It has no legal bearing.

So, I just looked it up. I would say that a person could have the requisite knowledge of rights and responsibilities long before he reaches legal age. He would know that not going to a state school would violate the NIL contract and make it null and void, akin to payment made before delivery of goods and services.

The Declaration of Independence is an important historical document. It has no bearing on anything in the US legal system.

Okay donkey, that will be all.

You've already exposed yourself as a clueless buffoon who not only confuses the Declaration of Independence with the Constitution, but doubled down on your idiocy by claiming the Declaration has some king of legal bearing on anything.

You've been humiliated on both fronts. Time to call it a day before you give us more material.

It just created the US but yeah, you are probably right....no bearing at all......


The most important and dramatic statement comes near the end: “That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States.” It declares a complete break with Britain and its King and claims the powers of an independent country.

I have studied the writings of Jefferson and the philosophy and structure of the Constitution. "Pursuit of Happiness" and "property" were interchangeable terms.
