NIL. Revenue sharing. Roster limits. Everyone in youth sports is throwing these terms around right now, but not many people can explain what they mean for the athletes in their program. Families are already asking those questions, so next week we’re digging into the answers. ⬇️
SportsRecruits is moderating “The College Sports Shakeup: What It Means for Youth Sports” at NextUp NYC hosted by LeagueApps, on Wednesday, October 14, from 2:45 to 3:30 PM at Civic Hall.
On the panel:
- Jim Penders, Head Baseball Coach, UConn Baseball
- Samantha Lovett, Brooklyn Law School
- Tom Shields, Technical Director, STA
Moderated by Natalie Bonaroti, SVP of Partnerships, IMG Academy.
We’ll talk through what has changed at the college level, what it means for roster spots, and how to answer when a family asks if college is still realistic. Bring your questions. Q&A is open the whole way through.
See you at Civic Hall. Stop by the SportsRecruits table after the session to keep the conversation going.
