Neenah (NBC 26) – Last week, the name, image and similarity (zero) for student athletes in Wisconsin.
NBC 26 met with several local coaches and coordinate FVA Jim Stick to find out how it affects their teams and student athletes.
“This is a really good thing for children who will not have the opportunity to use it,” said Strick. “It’s definitely something that is a bit scary.”
Wisconsin is one of the last states that have made this change because over 40 states are already zero benefits for high school athletes. Jim Strick, FVA coordinate, says that this is a up-to-date opportunity for outstanding athletes.
“Perhaps being a coach in the camp, maybe giving a lesson to a child,” he said. “Now they can pay for it. In the past they could never. It would be different now with all social media that the company can give the student the opportunity to earn money for a conversation about their company on social media accounts so that they could get the media in this way.”
While sports students can earn on their zero, there are some restrictions.
Interesting hook? They may not seem related to their school. This means not to wear school shirts, logo or any type of brand in advertising.
“Therefore, the second large part is that boosters who have any relationship with the school, regardless of whether they are alleas, parent, trainer, potential coach, each who is handed over to the school during the athlete – they are not allowed to give any compensation of the athlete,” said Strick.
NBC 26 also talked to the football coach Neenah Steve Jung. He says that he is in favor of up-to-date rules and likes this, unlike NCAA, the rules of the transfer are still in force.
“It just puts him where he should be,” said Jung. “This is a way that children can do it, but it will not affect high school sports, as if they had college sports.”
But the most crucial question is: will it really affect the average high school athlete?
“Really not, and if so, it is probably less than 0.5 percent (athletes) or something like that,” said Lee Rabas, boys’ basketball trainer Neenah.
Jung and Rabas, they say that they will now make sure their athletes about nil.
“Everyone who expects to try to get a zero offer, whatever looks at high school, do not do it unless you run it through your sports director,” said Rabas.
FVA will be Organizing first classFor student athletes, their parents and coaches at a conference on Sunday at Pickard Auditorium in Neenah Middle School.
