I’ve heard a new #NIL misconception while out at the @NILSummit.
Some believe that collectives/boosters can pay athletes prior to a commitment if the athlete lives in a state where high school athletes are allowed to monetize their NILs.

The explanation I heard is that the NCAA’s NIL guidance tells people to follow state NIL laws. And since some states allow HS athletes to enter into deals, it’s therefore ok for collectives to sign them to deals.
But some HS athletes are allowed to enter into NIL deals because of state HSAA rules, not state laws.
And even though some HS athletes can enter into deals, it’s still a violation of NCAA rules for collectives/boosters to be involved in recruiting.
