NCAA asking for help identifying NIL pay-for-play violations

The NCAA has sent a letter to member institutions asking them for support in uncovering violations with NIL infractions cases.

The letter, obtained by Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde, said the NCAA’s national office is “working hard” to pursue potential violations related to the NIL interim policy that was released in July 2021.

Coaches and NCAA leaders say these Name, Image and Likeness violations are largely coming from collectives. Collectives pool funds from boosters and businesses to help facilitate NIL deals for athletes.
