NCAA to Crack Down on NIL Collectives, Quinn Ewers Talks Ohio State, and Gene Smith Says FBS Football Should Separate From NCAA

RIP NIL COLLECTIVES? The current NIL situation has become so much of an unmitigated disaster that the NCAA has actually decided to do something about it – or at least try.

After several months of NIL collectives handing out proverbial six and seven-figure bags to secure commitments without even attempting to hide it, the NCAA has finally had enough.

University administrators, part of a task force to review NIL, are finalizing additional guidelines that are expected to clarify that boosters and booster-led collectives are prohibited from involvement in recruiting, multiple sources tell Sports Illustrated.
