Deion Sanders has implemented a new policy prohibiting Colorado freshmen from earning NIL money until their sophomore year.

“Making money from this sport is a privilege. If you’re playing on my team, you have to earn that.”

THE HOUSE THAT SKYLAR MEADE BUILT

[RedWave Press @RedWavePress]

SHOCKING: A growing number of middle school athletes — mostly boys — are intentionally repeating 8th grade to delay their start in high school, giving themselves another full year to get bigger, stronger, and faster, which in turn dramatically boosts their chances at elite high school spots, college scholarships, and massive NIL deals potentially worth millions.

William La Jeunesse: “Of 8M high school students in sports only 7% will play in college.”

“On the other hand, the [likely] number one pick in this year’s NBA draft, [AJ Dybantsa], did 8th grade twice.”

CRAZY IDEA: How about we let more kids be kids!

I signed to UCLA my junior year of high school and was told I was going to start Day 1.

Opening Day at UCLA?

I was sitting the bench. 😭

I had 2 choices:

1. Complain, pout, and blame the coaches

OR

2. Find the holes on the team and become valuable.

So for 3 weeks, I sat the bench.

I showed up early.
Stayed late.
Cheered for my teammates.
Dragged the field every 3rd inning.

Meanwhile, I studied the team.

The middle infielders were doing well.
Third base wasn’t.

So I told the coaches:

“I can play third.”

Then I noticed something else:

Offensively, we were either hitting home runs or getting out.

I saw the gap.

If I could become a tough out, get on base, and bring energy to the team…
I could create value.

Then we played Miami.

The starting third baseman was hitting .115.

They gave me a shot.

I went 2 for 3 with a walk.
Played solid defense.
Brought energy.

I never sat the bench again.

Eventually, I became team captain…
and we were ranked #1 in the country.

One thing baseball taught me:

Opportunities don’t always go to the most talented player.

Sometimes they go to the player who becomes the most valuable.

NEW: Schools across the country are requiring students to lock their phones in a phone pouch for the entire school day, can unlock the pouch at the end of the day.

Teachers and principals say phones in the classroom are becoming too much of a distraction.

“The last couple years, we left it up to the teachers to kind of govern their classrooms,” said Danville High School Principal Jacob Bretz.

“We were just running into the constant battle that temptation of that phone being accessible in the pocket, wondering do I have a message, feeling the notifications go off and the urge to check them.”

Students are required to put all cellphones, ear buds and smart watches in the magnetically locked pouches at the start of the school day.

At the end of the school day, the students are allowed to unlock the pouch.

Good!
