How do schools get away with paying high schoolers? I can’t imagine that is legal by the NCAA? Not that they would ever try to enforce it, but that doesn’t seem to be within the spirit of their NIL rules.
To me, it seems like CJ is just a more convenient excuse. Carr has been there ever since Deuce committed, so I am skeptical that it took him talking with Auburn to just now realize he’s really good and he’ll have to compete with him.
