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

Is that even legal? How can they dictate what a minor may or may not do?

Seems to be an over reach of power.

Every state can set their amateur eligibility how they chose.

You know, till somebody challenges it.

It’ll cost your senior year though.

Or you can just hit the portal the summer before college.
 
IIRC it's only after they sign their LOI
 
WOW, another thing Nick Saban has to contend with.

Condolences
 
I don't see how they can legally bind someone into a contract of their choosing, simply for exercising their right to have an NIL.

If the NIL is allowed then it's allowed. How can they take away their right to sign with a school of their own choosing? That should get thrown out quickly....

they have to actually sign a LOI before they can cash in on the NIL

Once he accepts the NIL money, knowing the terms, it is up to the player to fulfill the contract.

An argument could also be made that the Feds regulate interstate commerce but not intrastate commerce.

And that doesn't seem to be constitutionally protected. You have the right to pursue your own happiness, which IS constitutionally protected.

This silly law dictates what they can pursue, without their rights intact.

You don't have an unconditional constitutional right to play high school athletics

but if he is under 18, doesn't the parent have to sign?
 
How is this even enforced. Get the NIL deal, commit to state school of choice, get paid, transfer portal.

You’ve already played the HS games, gotten the money. They can’t force you to STAY at the school.

Based on what others have said, HS athletes in Missouri are only eligible after signing a LOI.

They could of course enter the transfer portal later on.

Yeah I don’t see the LOI as much of an impediment anymore.
