'Sports Professors' Podcast: The Gray Area of NIL in High School
Why this matters
Professors Kenneth L. Shropshire and Scott Rosner discuss Olympic athletes and mental health as well as how the push for name, image and likeness in high school sports could lead to increasing pressure on young athletes.
The Global Sport Matters Podcast presents, in collaboration with Columbia University Sports Management, 'Sports Professors,' where professors Kenneth Shropshire and Scott Rosner discuss the 101 on what happened in sports business. Each episode gives you a quick recap of the past week in sports, before diving deeper into a bigger topic to look at what's happening and why it matters. This week: NIL in high schools.
On this episode, professors Kenneth L. Shropshire and Scott Rosner discuss the latest sports news from the struggle for Olympic athletes hoping to maintain their mental health at the Tokyo Games to the changing of the Cleveland MLB team name. The two professors then move onto what name, image and likeness (NIL) looks like in high school athletics and how allowing NIL monetization could cause a burnout in these young athletes.
