High school NIL grows some in N.C.; local impact remains minimal

Two years ago, some feared that by now, the best player on every high school sports team in America would be getting paid. It was then that a Wake County judge granted an injunction that struck down North Carolina’s ban on high school athletes being able to be paid for their name, image and likeness. Much was made at the time of the importance of establishing a means for high school athletes nationwide to have access to the same deals college kids were getting. North Carolina followed suit with other states, establishing an NIL platform for high school athletes similar to the NCAA’s wide-sweeping changes that allowed outside entities to pay the players who were responsible for generating much of the popularity, exposure and revenue enjoyed by their schools. Since the door was kicked open, high school NIL deals in North Carolina have grown somewhat, but their average payout isn’t much and their reach hasn’t been far. Pitt County this year has one athlete on an NIL deal, a first for the county. But the question remains, is the high school NIL era ever really going to catch on? “I would say as far as the big picture goes, what

NC State's Sigma Nu suspended by national fraternity after ‘heinous and grievous acts'

N.C. State University’s oldest fraternity will shut down indefinitely, its national organization said Friday afternoon, following a weeks-long probe into graphic hazing allegations within the fraternity. According to a release Friday afternoon, the national Sigma Nu Fraternity suspended the charter of its NC State chapter effective immediately, after “significant and severe violations of the Fraternity’s principles, law, policies, and membership requirements” that they said occurred in the chapter’s “activities.” The chapter will remain closed until further notice, officials said. “The Fraternity continues to appreciate the diligent work of North Carolina State University Police Department officers in their thorough investigation, which remains ongoing,” the release states. “The Fraternity will continue to fully support and cooperate with the procedures of law enforcement officials in this matter.” The suspension comes a day after search warrants revealed graphic videos and anonymous testimony that further detailed the hazing allegations. Those allegations included physical abuse, death threats, pressured drug use, induced vomiting and multiple hospitalizations, according to the warrants. NC State officials suspended the fraternity from campus last week, simultaneously announcing the investigation into the alleged hazing practices. But the newest suspension from the national organization adds deeper, more permanent consequences for the fraternity that’s become
