Is everybody sure that a federal court will agree that players cannot sign NIL deals before enrolling at a school?
I'm not sure exactly about that. But I do know that NIL deals for college players are supposed to start and end within the players college career.
So a player can't sign a 10 year contract for example, and I'm guessing they'll not be able to continue contracts that were signed before arriving to school(although I see no reason why they couldn't be redone).
I think where people get confused is when it comes to boosters, especially with recruits. While the supreme court ruling would mean you can't limit how much the kids can make, how many deals they take etc, it does not mean that the NCAA can't restrict boosters on what they offer. A kid won't get in trouble, but the booster and school can.
Of course what's really going to matter is enforcement.

I get what you are saying and I hope that this restriction stands in the long run. I'm just not very sure that a federal court will care if a booster offers an NIL deal before or after a player enrolls. We'll find out soon enough though, within a couple of years.

Not according to the NCAA.
From official NCAA Q&A guidance on new NIL policies:
quote:
. What is the impact of the interim NIL policy on prospective student-athletes?
Prospective student-athletes may engage in the same types of NIL opportunities available to current stu-
dent-athletes under the interim NIL policy without impacting their NCAA eligibility. NIL opportunities may not
be used as a recruiting inducement or as a substitute for pay-for-play. Individuals are encouraged to consider
state laws, if applicable, and the rules of any relevant amateur governing bodies.
Boosters can give prospective recruits anything they can otherwise give currently enrolled student athletes, as long as the deal isn't strictured in such a way as to be dependant upon the recruit's eventual enrollment in the school.
As long as thr booster is ok with throwing money at the recruit, and not getting it back if they decide to sign with another school, it's all good.

But allowing the NCAA to restrict normally (in the rest of society) free trade and commerce in such a manner would go against any precept of the NCAA's existance. Legalized market 'tampering' like that could also set dangerous precedent. Imagine a corporation, or group of corporations, being able to use that legal precedent to set the limit on which companies could offer potential and extant employers, software engineers for example. They then know they can just offer the maximum right at the start and not have to worry about their talent trying to improve their own lives by taking the relatively same job at another company but with higher pay (something I've done). They don't even have to give raises.
I don't know if such power will ever be ceded to the NCAA again.
