Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4264608, member: 405"] Back last July, they issued an official statement on NIL that appears to give Boosters the opportunity to "invest" through collectives. So, it's going to be pretty hard to "make illegal" something that they already approved, before they realized how big it was going to get. Here's FiveThirtyEight's take on NIL and any NCAA talk of "regulation" and enforcement. About 1/3 of the way down the article is the link to the NCAA's July 1, 2021 guidance on NIL to member institutions. So, making a new rule to punish past behavior that was not illegal is not likely to succeed, if the schools or booster organizations want to test it in court.
