Maybe NCAA should stop wasting time enforcing stuff around recruiting, and focus on straight up cheating for years.
Just a thought.

Canadian Edey: U.S. NIL law 'needs to change'
Purdue's Canadian center Zach Edey says he has 'lost out on a lot of money' because of a United States NIL law that prevents him from profiting.
Purdue's Zach Edey missing out on profits due to U.S. NIL law
Purdue center Zach Edey has been frustrated with United States law that prevents him from capitalizing on NIL deals on American soil."I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of money," Edey, the two-time AP Player of the Year, said Friday at the Final Four.
Since Edey, who is Canadian, is at Purdue on a student visa, he's not legally allowed to make any money through NIL deals that take place in America. However, there are loopholes. For example, he can accept NIL money if the work that led to that money was done elsewhere.
Edey can do NIL deals when he's back home in Canada or when he or Purdue travels internationally. He said Friday he can make money off jersey sales, which he described as passive income.
"It's not like I can go film a commercial in West Lafayette," Edey said.
Edey expressed hope that the law will eventually be revised to allow international players to make money on domestic soil.
"I hope they change it in the future," he said. "I obviously have lost out on a lot of money this year. At the end of the day it needs to change, for sure. I understand kind of the legal process. It takes a while.
"It's not like it's an NCAA rule. It's an American law. Anytime you try to go change that, I understand it takes a while. But I do think it needs to change."

That's deeply rooted visa behavior.
If he had applied for a business visa, it would be no problem.
I don't see Immigration changing a law, which is a very common law around the world, to appease a handful of international athletes who didn't figure out they could just apply for a business visa.
