Daily News | With PIAA approval of name, image, and likeness deals for high schoolers, concerns from Philly coaches
Before Wednesday’s meeting, The Inquirer talked to several coaches about their reactions to the NIL developments.
Coaches have offered varying theories for why the shift has occurred. Some believe it’s because elders or “old heads,” who were once well-respected across the city, either no longer exist or have been replaced by younger, more impulsive leaders. Others believe jealousy lies at the core. “Then all of a sudden people are looking at [the athlete] because they think he got $50,000,” Crosby said. “Then he becomes a target.”
At the collegiate level, Altemus has heard horror stories of athletes signing contracts that gave away their name, image, and likeness in perpetuity., she said, was done in conjunction with the National Federation of State High School Associations. On the collegiate level, though, she said some of the most successful outcomes have come from athletes who leveraged another skill in addition to their athletic prowess.
In November, Imhotep, where Noble is also the athletic director, hosted a seminar designed to educate athletes about NIL and its various challenges. Imhotep’s Justin Edwards, currently ESPN’s No. 1-ranked senior in the nation and a Kentucky basketball signee, was also part of the roundtable discussion.
