This paragraph stuck out to me:
The article doesn't mention any other state having or trying to pass similar laws, so maybe Florida--in terms of the extremes--is an outlier? It seems like the state is trying to attract athletic talent by not having reasonable rules on transfers, NIL, etc. for high schoolers. But I'm basing this on a single WSJ article, so there's that.
The private/Catholic schools in Southern California have been recruiting talented athletes since I first moved to LA in 1985. Maybe it's happening in the Bay Area as well. So Florida is taking a well-established precedent and putting it on steroids (metaphorically speaking).
Quote:Florida is different. School-choice laws mean athletes transfer easily, often without losing a moment on the playing field. In the age of Name, Image and Likeness compensation, the result is a first-of-its-kind high-school transfer portal that some insiders warn may be the future of scholastic sports in America.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
