jrw   Moderator  No. 3 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Love this part of the article:  Niedermeyer and Gunn arranged or provided $2,463 to a recruit and his family from January to December 2019, including cash, hotel stays, entertainment, transportation and team apparel. Niedermeyer also paid the recruit $750 cash at his high school, provided more gifts during an unofficial visit and accompanied the recruit and his family on a flight to Knoxville for an official visit. The recruit did not enroll at Tennessee. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

idontrollonshobbas    No. 9 Share Posted July 22, 2022 So they basically are guilty of doing in 2018 what is now above board and legal in 2022?  This is like busting someone in Oregon today for buying weed in the Bean Complex Fall Term of 1983. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck 1972    No. 10 Share Posted July 22, 2022 The NCAA is still going after the fan base or schools trying to influence a HS recruit to go to a particular school.  The NIL is different issue from what I understand. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools still cannot pay players.  What is allowed now, opposed to 2018, is other people, organizations, or companies can pay players for use of their NIL.  Schools still cannot directly pay players which is why such ideas like schools creating an "NIL fund" for players is not allowed.  I saw someone throw out an idea of charging five dollars additional per ticket per game to go into an NIL fund. This would be blantabtly illegal as the school would collect the money and then pay players with it.  However, if there is a guy with a bucket not affiliated with the school who collects money for NIL and that money is used to pay players that is a different story.  What Tennessee did was have those affiliated with the school paying recruits money. Which is still a no-no but who knows for how much longer. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
