re: NCAA Enforcement Begins Attempted NIL Crackdown With Miami Inquiry

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.
