Florida approves NIL for high school athletes

The most important people affiliated with college and HS sports are going to be lawyers. Maybe lawyers have always been the most important people affiliated with college and HS sports. But going forward, we can be pretty sure they are.

Coupled in the betting with insurance actuaries.

That's kinda what I'm getting at. What if a high school athlete is considered an employee, either from the school or the local sponsor. Could a 13-year-old prodigy be considered a worker?

We're not talking about being paid by the schools or the school system or boosters. The Florida rule will not allow collectives. It merely allows a kid to get a gig endorsing clothing, a Smoothie King or sell his autographs. And adult entertainment, betting sites, tobacco, alcohol and cannibas are banned.
