Well, I'll go out on a limb here and say that they made the twitter post now for specific reasons:

1) At this point in time they aren't claiming anything, it's all just implied.
2) If in fact he does commit to Ohio State, now many will give The Foundation credit for helping Ohio State sign him. "Success stories" for The Foundation will foster even more donations like this one:



And the more donations they get, the more "success stories" that they will have. Hey, it is what it is. Ohio State is going to get more "better recruits" and keep some others in school longer because of them.

Do all those companies in the NIL database have (or are looking to have) a NIL deal with at least 1 student athlete?

Theres a 2nd OSU NIL collective: The Cohesion Foundation.
Seems to be backed by Learfield Media, and has board members from the family’s of Nicklaus(Jacks son), Griffin(Archie’s son), and another Schottenstein. Not to mention Jeff Heurmann and Zach Boren.

As long as none of them commit any NCAA violations, I'll say.......

That’s the whole point though, boosters aren’t recruiting. They are donating to a valid charity. That’s it. The charity hires whom it will to promote its mission.

Good luck proving, let alone enforcing, this one.

The NCAA could have kept control by staying ahead of the curve years ago. They chose not to out of ignorance, apathy or both. Now they are irrelevant.

If booster’s aren’t recruiting, what’s the point of the collective? And didn’t Schottenstein say that since they aren’t affiliated with the school it allows them to speak directly to the student-athlete? Sounds like recruiting to me.

It’s very easy to prove who is a booster and who isn’t.

You have demonstrated time and again that you don't grasp how it works but I'll give it one more shot for you:

  1. The point of the collective is whatever the underlying charitable mission is declared as.
  2. The boosters don't recruit, they donate money to the charity
  3. The charity in turn pays celebrities for the use of their NIL, typically in exchange for some kind of personal appearance.
  4. You can identify boosters all the live long day, you can't tell them they aren't allowed to donate to charity.
Is the point to induce kids to come to a certain school? Of course it is.

Can you prove that and then regulate it? Not currently.

Is anyone getting hurt by it? No.

LOL. You contradicted yourself here. Are they enticing (aka recruiting) kids through these collectives or not?

Or are you hung up on it being provable?

There are no underlying charitable missions with the collectives other than getting the best players for their affiliated school. They affiliate themselves with various charities. They aren’t the charity.

I thought you were the one who knew how this worked??
