Posted August 22, 20222 yr Moderator Woah...This is already happening! Fresh off the FishDuck Feed, this article tells how all the athletes on the powerhouse St. John Bosco High School football team in Southern California are able to benefit off NIL. The Ducks have recruited players from there often. According to Brian Wickstrom, who is now St. John Bosco’s president and CEO. “I don’t think this is a one-time thing. What this will do is you’ll start to see other high schools having opportunities to have similar types of agreements, I think.” What do you think of this?
