Message: [QUOTE="shantydaze, post: 4267336, member: 666"] The rule that was established by the NCAA on June 30, 2021 included language that schools must follow their state's NIL law if one was in place. IIRC, there are about 28 states that have NIL laws on the books with varying language. Tennessee's law allows the collectives, players, and coaching staff to work in conjunction with each other to sign NIL deals. Some states have blanket prohibitions on an institution, whether the school or NCAA, from taking any action against an athlete for receipt of NIL money (which would include NIL money form boosters for pay-to-play). Other states do have restrictions on pay-for-play NIL deals. It is such a mixed bag that we can no longer make blanket statements like "Boosters cannot buy recruits." In some states that is true, in others it is not. [/QUOTE]
