the NCAA are snooping around trying to find something regarding NIL/recruiting
As far as I know, one of the only rules in any of this is that NIL is not supposed to be used for recruiting, and yet literally every single program in America seems to be doing just that (and somewhat openly talking about it).
It's like a speed trap where every car is flying by doing 70 in a 35, and they're just sitting there trying to decide who they want to pop.

Spot on analogy...and UT is the one who got popped and like anyone of us in their position are thrashing about for answers. You can not have regulation on one hand (reigning in NIL and the portal) and not have a regulating body. Life, unfortunately, does not work that way.
The NCAA has no doubt targeted UT. They are being used as the scapegoat....that is, in my mind, without question. It is not, however, happening in a Vacuum. UT is already being punished for cheating....this is their second time being popped doing 70 in a 35....and like any regulator one time could be a mistake, twice in just a short period of time is a pattern of thumbing your nose at the regulator.

Looks like they for the moment have decided focus on those private jets flying recruits across the country instead of the cars doing a mere 70 mph on the interstate.
