re: NCAA - No rules on NIL

but there are rules on recruiting, that's the question here. NIL doesn't matter, if he got a free flight to knoxville then showed up on campus, there's a problem.

Actually if he was variably there on a matter unrelated to UT and the visit was not set up by the AD, coaching staff or university representatives then no, it’s not a problem.

Student-athletes can receive professional representation if they are a registered agent in the state
Participation in NIL-related activities shall not impact a student-athlete’s athletic or scholarship eligibility
NIL agreements cannot be in conflict with existing team contracts
Schools, Conferences, and Associations cannot compensate a student-athlete for their NIL
Schools may restrict student-athletes from participating in vice industries
