Who knew there were any rules about pay for play any more? I thought it was a pure free agency type thing now without contracts.

Is this because the head of the nil collective was a booster? Or because he wasn't a member of the team when offered a deal? Or because a coach initiated the meeting between a booster and a recruit? Or because the recruit was a member of another team and off limits until he entered the transfer portal?

Because a Schottenstein that is a booster runs Ohio State's Nil collective (or at least started it). And I have heard of recruits not coming to schools because of the NIL money being not good enough and also last minute NIL bidding wars on recruits. I am completely perplexed about what they did wrong that no one else is doing. The grey area is turning brown in my eyes.

There were reports that fsu had been paying high school recruits as much as $15,000 a month to consider going there, during these kids junior and senior high school years.

Some of it was coming from potential recruits, who were dropping social media bombs about getting paid, and now they reconsidered where they were going.

I don't know if that's it.

But if it is, then we may see some paradigm shift.

If that isn't it, then my guess the NCAA is acting, because the media was about to break a story of some sort on them. And they are proactively getting ahead of it.
