My understanding is that Ruiz is in contact with people who represent athletes prior to them signing to get an idea of what the athlete wants and what he's willing to provide. Since he doesn't talk directly to the player or specifically offer anything, this is currently allowed. This seems like the most obvious way to regulate if you're "concerned" about boosters recruiting. They'll make a rule that there can't be any contact, so the booster won't be able to sell a package to a kid until the kid signs. Now, in theory, the coaches will be the only recruiters, and the kids will have to guess what NIL deals they can get based on current players at that school.
That's ridiculous.
Everyone gets information on a potential top manager or top representative, or top media personality that they can before making any arrangements or beginning any negotiations.
Just good business practices.
