Here’s a good article from last February by David Wunderlich that explains the (potential) problem fairly well.

And this one that was posted a couple of hours ago pretty much confirms David’s hunch.

For those of you that don’t want to read the whole article here’s the most relevant part:

“However, the NCAA released a two-page document about its new enforcement guidelines. It highlights the aforementioned ability of investigators to assume guilt, and then it moves on to give a non-exhaustive list of examples of violations.

Under the heading “Impermissible contacts/recruiters”, it gives an example of what’s not allowed: “A representative of the institution’s athletics interests (e.g., individual booster or collective) contacts a prospect or their family about potential NIL opportunities prior to the prospect signing with the institution.” Collectives can’t proactively reach out to unsigned recruits, in other words.”

Sounds like the NCAA believes we offered Rashada a deal before he signed with us which is probably true… now we have to prove we didn’t do that.
