Nope.
A booster can pony up cash for an NIL deal. Boosters are private citizens, not university employees.
I'm a booster. I can pay Nico a thousand bucks to come hang out at my house for an hour and smoke a doob with me if I want.

You can indeed...you can't do it in order to entice him to sign with Tennessee. Never have had the ability to do so and not risk sanction. Private citizens can absolutely be restricted from representing the University of Tennessee....

Boosters are considered part of the university no matter if you want to acknowledge that or not. If you want to be a booster and ignore this fact, don't be surprised when the school breaks all ties with you and no longer allows you to be associated with the program in anyway.
But there are times when boosters can do things. Some of it requires permission, for example if they want to buy or have a player over for dinner, that is easily done with permission.
As for as giving them NIL, that's going to depend on market value. AKA, Bob's Junkyard 2 blocks away from your stadium giving a kid a $2 million NIL deal is going to draw an investigation. But Nike doing it is not.
