But going even further, why did you ignore the sentence after the one you put in bold letters? That is where boosters come in.


I didn't. In fact about 2/3 of my post addressed it directly:

quote:

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.



If the booster makes the deal in such a way as to make it dependent on the recruits enrollment with a particular school, that's a violation.

If the booster promises more deals if the recruit signs with a particular school, that's a violation.

As long as the booster makes a deal with the recruit that does not depend in any way on the recruit eventually signing with the booster's school, or promising any future deals dependant upon signing woth said school, there is no violation.

If the recruits assumes there will be future deals if they enroll in a particular school, that's on them. No violation.

Boosters can wine and dine recruits all they want as long as they don't make anything officially dependant on the recruit eventually signing on the dotted line.

Super stud high school athletes (i.e. Arch Manning) may be missing out on tons of $$ to throw around during their HS days.
What's preventing a kid like that from accepting and NIL contract that expires the day he graduates high school and then negotiating an NIL contract that commences on the date he enrolls at his chosen college?

No, this is illegal and always has been. Boosters are not permitted to have contact with recruits in any form.

The only exception is in the case of them being family/friends before recruitment, and in those cases nothing can be added during that time, only a continue of what was going on before. AKA, just because Booster Bob was an acquaintance of a recruit prior, Booster Bob isn't allowed to suddenly start giving him a bunch of money.

Beyond that you can get specific exceptions for say a booster taking a recruit out to dinner, but it has to be reported, given reasons why and approved prior to.
