Let me ask you an honest question: Who’s your daddy? If you’re a high school student athlete in Illinois, the answer is easy when it comes to one’s “Right to Play.” It’s not your Mom or Dad. It’s a private third-party vendor called the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). If you play a high school sport, the IHSA controls you even when your school day is over and even more when school isn’t even in session. It’s long been an overreach of control from a small group of narrow-minded ego-driven adults literally dictating what student athletes and families can do in their free time. But much-needed and welcome change is getting closer for all student athletes and their families, as more and more student athletes and parents come forward from present and past to speak up and talk about the disadvantages the IHSA - and those who benefit from it - have and are causing. The first victory earlier this week was by slaughter rule, a 12-0 thumping over the IHSA in committee vote. Now it moves to the big leagues. You can read more here: I encourage you to engage and educate yourself in a topic that 75 percent of high school student athletes across the U.S. can do, but it’s something high school student athletes in Illinois can’t do. Over the next 30 days, you are going to see more stories and hear directly from student athletes, families, leading athletic trainers and doctors, school leaders from Illinois and other states on local and national media outlets talking about this overreach and how the IHSA continues to put student athletes at a disadvantage. So I ask you again: Since when does a private third-party vendor get to control what student athletes and their families do, especially during their free time? Think about that. As you’ll see once again, it’s another classic case of cherry-picking to benefit one’s self by an organization that has now lost three consecutive court cases due to its unlawful dictating overreach. As always, I’ll layout both sides and show you how this has and continues to work easily and well for high school student athletes and schools across the U.S. - except in Illinois. They’ll say “health & safety.” They’ll say “scheduling & other logistics.” I’ll show you how those stocked talking points aren’t even tired, “they’re outdated” as one athletic trainer and other athletic director said to me today. Change for adults who control is always hard. It’s time to do what is right and long overdue for high school student athletes and families in Illinois. You’ll see why loud and clear beginning this week. **This is the first in a daily series.**

Jake Retzlaff’s Provo departure is big - leaving amidst a civil lawsuit a confirmed Honor Code violation (consensual premarital sex). Before anything else, let me be clear: I want the innocent protected, the guilty prosecuted, & justice upheld. What does this mean for the future of sports in the state of Utah, especially with NIL? Attracting non-LDS athletes with money risks bad PR, potentially leading church leadership to curtail sports. This isn't the first Honor Code breach, and it certainly won't be the last. The conflict is real: NIL incentivizes, potentially drawing athletes not fully aligned with Latter-day Saint (LDS) values. While it boosts competitiveness, Church Education Commissioner Clark G. Gilbert stresses BYU's mission isn't "pay to play" at faith's expense. Gilbert also insists BYU will "never be the highest bidder." A singular focus on NIL can make it seem like BYU is "buying" talent without valuing commitment to standards, especially for athletes who struggle with the Honor Code. This could pressure LDS church leadership to re-evaluate NIL's role, potentially leading to tighter restrictions or even a scaled-back athletic program. Their commitment to the Honor Code, even at the cost of talent, is paramount to their unique mission. For the University of Utah, BYU's unique challenges could be an advantage in recruiting. While Utah navigates the new NIL landscape and revenue sharing, their less restrictive policies may make them a more attractive destination for athletes seeking competitive NIL deals without Honor Code constraints. Interestingly, BYU was statistically the luckiest team in America last year. That period of on-field fortune arguably extended to the fact that the civil lawsuit against Retzlaff (alleged incident: Nov 2023, lawsuit filing: May 2025) didn't become public & derail their 2024 season. Coincidence? You decide. 👀🤔
