I thought the NCAA rules prohibit boosters from contacting players at all?
All of these individuals are part of the Matador Club and this should be a huge NCAA violation. If these individuals are part of any club or boosters, where they donate, then they are breaking NCAA rules. I have read this before in the VT NCAA no no's. It would be the same thing if I went out and start recruiting players early on and getting in touch with the coaches at VT and then they offer an NIL deal to them. Plus contacting them in season is also a violation of NCAA rules. The rules state you can not contact a player not in the portal at all while playing or attending another school until that player enters the portal. Unfortunately, this is not what is happening currently. The loophole is BS because they are members of their boosters, Matador Club! Patty Gasso, and Mike White, where are you at? Time to fight back against outright cheating, due to billionaires playing with young ladies lives and that's not cool!
