POLL: Found out my 6th grader plays QB at recess and another kid has been paying him $1 every time he throws him the ball. My son has $46 cash from him so far. Should we intervene?

Keep accepting the deal, but don’t throw to him at all several days in a row. The price will go up.

TCuz, I think I need to hire you to be my agent. That's actually brilliant.

Does the rest of the team know what he’s doing?

I’m not sure. He said there are like 20 people on each team calling for the ball

Introduce him to the “mom tax” and maybe she’ll get on board

Maybe consider mentioning it to the parents of the other kid - but that's as far as I would go. I appreciated it when

Especially if he is stealing it from the parents.

That's how NIL really should go

Id wonder where a 6th grader is coming up with $50. I also wonder if there’s

Could be an only kid for some wealthy parents? Less kids = more money to spend on solo kid.

Sounds like a win/win.

Yes

Apr 18, 10:23am

The kid is paying your kid for confidence and credibility amongst his peers. I don't see it as that big of a deal if..

Yes, but wait until he's made an even $100

Apr 18, 10:27am

Tell him about inflation

75% of CB thinks it's great. 100% of CB would be livid if it was at BYU or a ref

RE: live if it was at BYU : If we were losing games because of it then yes but if we were winning games I don't think so

You want to compare 6th grade recess football to high level college athletics?

Introduce him to the income tax structure. Take $0 from the first 10, $2 from the second ten, and half of the rest.

Apr 18, 11:21am

Is the other kid a proficient receiver able to catch the ball most of the time?

Apr 18, 11:26am

Make him give it back, there are just too many ways for that deal to go sideways

Apr 18, 11:28am

I was thinking lower to a quarter to be more fair, but should really return it

this is his chance to learn dynamic pricing. tell him to charge $2 for 3rd and long. test the market
