It’s also bribery. Here’s a federal criminal statute for you

It’s illegal bud. Move on

I mean, I get that, but failing to see how it’s any different than an NIL program paying a bunch of good players to be walk-ons to keep them away from other schools.
Regardless, it looks like you probably shouldn’t pay opposing players to quit during a season, but there’s nothing wrong with it once the season is over.
Texas could pay oklahomas entire oline to just transfer to the Sun Belt or something. It seems preposterous but it seems possible.

It doesn’t say it has to be shaving points or sitting out. Paying a player for positives such as tackles or points would apply the same way.
