How will this affect Alabama going forward? Will AHSAA be forced to act? Will it affect college recruiting?

Let the bidding wars begin!

The only thing that will put a stop to this insanity is a mass loss of viewers at all levels. By the time it actually happens (if it ever does) it will be far too late to fix it.

It doesn't hurt UGA inducing recruiting.

This is absolutely getting stupid!

So now boosters can secure commitments from kids years before they are even eligible to sign schollies...!?!

Pandora's Box just had the bottom taken out of it.

It was already there, just earlier now...

Let me encourage you ((plural) to watch Gunsmoke, Tales of Wells Fargo, Cheyenne, etc. instead of high school or college football, basketball, etc.

It passed where I am at over a year ago. Kids are moving across state lines and having tuition paid. Recruiting in high school has jumped to a new level.

This makes me furious, but nothing about GHSA surprises me anymore.

IMG should just go ahead and join us the ACC now. Florida will follow soon

Nothing bad could happen with half the football team potentially making more money individually than the principal or their teachers.....nah, nothing at all, it'll be fine.

Gonna get awfully expensive to field a competitive middle school or high school team. Money has changed hands at those levels in past years of course, but not overtly or in as large amounts as it will now, or at least not so far as I've been known.

I just don't understand the appeal of high school football for people who no longer in high school. Sure, if you have kids in the school okay but, beyond that just move on, you an adult now.

The high schools have ruined a lot of middle school sports now. Maybe I'm not seeing it all, since mine are in catholic school, but it sure seems that way. Now we'll just blatantly have high school coming in to pay middle schoolers to come to their school......no reason to try and hide it anymore.

Imagine some 13 year old that has physically matured and has a cannon for an arm. He pitches or plays QB....that kid gets courted, the schools tell the family all sorts of things....none of this stuff is going to end well.
