You have to love the NCAA...
From their own rulebook...
"Student-athletes may not speak to other schools about transferring directly or indirectly through others (e.g., family members, former teammates, NIL agent, club coaches) until they receive notice that they have been input into the Transfer Portal."
"Communicating with another Division I school’s athletics staff prior to entering the Transfer Portal can jeopardize a student-athlete’s future eligibility at that school. Existing recruiting rules prohibit communicating with a student-athlete who is enrolled at another Division I school prior to the student-athlete appearing in the Transfer Portal. These rules extend to indirect contact made by third parties on the student-athlete’s behalf (e.g., family member, scholastic or nonscholastic coach, advisor, former teammates). Certain violations of these rules can constitute a significant breach of conduct as it relates to the
NCAA infractions process."
Yet the transfer process enables the student-athlete to have a "do not contact" designation (Canady does not, but it got me to thinking and researching)
What am I missing?

No guarantees, but is $250k worth it for our first official team natty?

Not True. Enforced, but with little more than a slap on the wrist.
