The supreme court ruled in favor of NIL, not pay to play.

As far as I understand it the courts have never heard a case where a booster provided benefits directly to a prospect the boosters school was recruiting. I seriously doubt given the combination of membership in the NCAA is voluntary and based on agreeing to NCAA rules and NCAA punishment the courts automatically side with UT. The question, from my understanding, is the use of a private jet to facilitate recruiting...that has ALWAYS been a NCAA violation. Tennessee is not stupid, they knew it has always been...they were gambling on the NCAA not having any enforcement power...and they are most likely right...but if they ain't they are in SMU territory and it ain't gonna be pretty
