Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4311459, member: 1329"] You're forgetting that NIL is legal and okay. It's not just the fact that he got paid. It's that he got paid EARLY that is the problem. If the NCAA actually tries to enforce this, nobody is advertising their NIL deal on social media before committing. They'll do it 3 days later or whatever. That text is not to the assistant coach. It's to the head of the collective from the player's NIL agent. It's maybe the player's agent asking an assistant coach what collectives or prominent boosters exist at the school. Asking the question about future NIL $ isn't against the rules and won't be. It's like asking about the locker room quality. There are no smoking guns. The school isn't involved in the actual dealing at all, and this is why making the schools not able to participate in the NIL deals makes it an enforcement nightmare. The way I see it, there are two possibilities moving forward without an overhaul of the entire system: 1) The NCAA doesn't try to crack down on anything and all the things happen as you outline and as currently are happening. 2) The NCAA tries to cracks down once and all the dumb people doing obvious violations gets obfuscated behind agents, middlemen, and collectives (if it wasn't already), but everything still happens. There is no 3) Inducements no longer happen. It's all optics. You could probably reduce my argument that attempts to enforce regulations that are unenforceable are bad regulations, and you either need to change the system or get rid of the regulations. Drug laws are ineffective as a deterrent, but very enforceable. We see tons and tons of enforcement. That's not what this is. This is like if USA passed laws about Americans doing drugs while visiting Amsterdam. In your world, the cops can just check out the tourists social media pictures to see if anyone posted about doing drugs. There's no jurisdiction and no enforcement possible because it all happens outside the USA/NCAA legal system. [/QUOTE]
