Rep. Mimi Brown and Frank Cooke used their …

Bookmarked Ex-Ohio State coach Urban Meyer calls NIL collectives “cheating” by .
The discussion concluded with Meyer telling a second-hand story of a program that lost a recruit due to NIL. “I know very closely firsthand, I had a buddy who was recruiting a guy. He had it [the commitment], and it was over,” Meyer said. “Then, all of a sudden, another school offered him $500,000. He went back to his collective and said, ‘I need $500,000.’ They said, ‘We don’t have it,’ and they lost the player.”
In every single NIL story like this, the facts are presented assuming a shared understanding that stuff like this is Bad, without question or examination. Why is it bad? For whom? Be explicit, please.
I obviously know what the rote answers are supposed to be but just once I’d like the interviewer to say, “actually, that sounds cool as hell for the kid who finessed half a million out of some dumb rich car dealers!”

A very different law is settling in for the First State.
The historic legislation dubbed House Bill 198, passed in 2021, requires all Delaware public schools — both district and charter — to infuse instruction of Black history and experience into K-12 curricula.
In striking contrast to news from some conservative states, the law gave 19 school districts and 23 charter schools about a year to update all curricula with contributions of Black people to American history, life, literature, economy, politics and much more.
