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?

Possibly state law and/or highschool eligibility regs.

Otherwise, nothing. But the risk is that the enrollee college athlete contract cannot be dependant in any way on the recruit contract, or vice versa. In fact, the college enrollee contract cannot exist, or even be promised until the kid signs.

If the recruit has a valid NIL deal as a recruit. And it expires. And the kid decides to enroll somewhere else when signing day rolls around. That's the recruit's prerogative. The recruit has the power to enter and fulfill NIL deals or not at their own discretion. The boosters can't use them to push recruits to sign with their desired college.
