Talking Preps: How will private schools allowing NIL change NC high school sports?
Last week, the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association announced a new plan to give athletes access to their Name, Image and Likeness rights beginning in the fall.
On a new Talking Preps, we discuss how private school athletes having NIL will change the N.C. sports landscape.
Also on tap:
▪ Rick Lewis and Randall Clark announce their boys’ and girls’ players of the week.
▪ We have our most in-depth discussion of the season about this week’s key games. Lewis and Clark feel like this a pivotal week in the region, and will tell you why.
▪ On our “Who Balled Out” video highlights segment, we feature Lake Norman’s Kaylee Elllis, Central Cabarrus’ Josh Dalton, Lincolnton’s L.J. Smith and North Mecklenburg’s Isaiah Evans.
▪ On “Coach Vs. Coach,” Clark and Gary Richmond debate Super Bowl winners and Taylor Swift; how will the end of COVID exemptions for college athletes effect high school recruiting; and should the NCHSAA consider smaller conferences for its next realignment.
Watch the show live at 8 p.m. on YouTube (with replays immediately following).
