I don't know how it works, but before a high school athlete can play or be recruited in college sports, he has to be eligible by NCAA rules.
If a high school student signs a contract or accepts money from a booster or accepts rides for free to visit colleges, or accepts perks from certain colleges (like pretty party girls), he is hurting his eligibility.
To play NCAA sports, which all colleges do, you have to abide by their rules. That's just the way it is.
I guess the NCAA has the right to make sure that the kids are not accepting benefits that they have ruled illegal.
If the kid or his parents don't want to cooperate with the NCAA, that's their business, but it would probably keep the kid from playing his sport at the next level.
