If a booster paid for a walk ons tuition, they are basically on scholarship. It sounds great that you're helping the kids but it creates loopholes to go over the 85 limit. Have your K/P walk-on bad the boosters pay their tuition, or similar. That sounds like it could create violations. Seems the NCAA isn't really doing anything right now. Teams can basically do anything, it is a free for all
NCAA is basically a name now, no power to enforce anything. I didn't read the article but assume it's about Texas offering 50k to OL. Divisions in teams are already starting to show up. A&M players are wanting some of what the signing class is getting because the signers are flaunting it.
When NIL was first being approved, we discussed the concept of collectives. This is no surprise. In fact, if the community discussed in Florida is the model, those communities will likely replace boards like this one. The inside information is going to go to those paying the athletes salaries, not to those paying for recruiting information from a third-party like Rivals or 247. Contributors will get info from the players. Why wait for someone to tell Justin Rowland or Chris Fischer when your collective partner just spoke with a player who hosted a recruit?
Some of these arrangements are blatantly violating what the NCAA said was disallowed. The issue now is what will they do about it, if anything
