Absolutely why they were against NIL. Not only that but also against school choice. Some schools, typically smaller ones, are getting kids from other small school programs with just a hope of winning title. And some people are making money off it. If suddenly school choice is a thing it will devastate most small school programs in this state. Including some that are right now able to line a few people’s pockets.
The majority of schools in this state, especially those 4A and larger, try to get 1 or 2 a year. It’s a “secret” that everyone knows but does not want to talk about. Except for Hattiesburg and Tupelo, who are the most brazen with it.
H’burg got a lineman from Perry central.
H’burg kids being cocky bout all the transfers in a text group a bunch of the kids are in (in mentioned before they all talk to each other).
If not for recruiting Hattiesburg would be a 7-8 win team last year and probably worse this coming season. I doubt tell ever gets past 1st round without it.
