This is absolutely correct. And sadly, my uncle bankrolled many UT football players.Anyone can go on Twitter, VolNation, or anywhere else online and anonymously make claims. They don't even have to be anonymous, they can just use the old "sources say" journalistic trick. Even "journalists" get it wrong when they are speculating based on rumor, internet chat, etc.
The reality is that we don't know and most likely won't ever know for certain, unless we have seen the signed contract - which I doubt DeerPark or anyone else on here or anywhere else online has. I know I haven't and the people I talk to haven't. Perhaps he has. If so, I will stand corrected.
Money changing hands for players goes way back and is assumed to be the primary motivator for kids who go to a school. With NIL, it's more "above board", but still leaves tons of room for speculation which is what I think is going on. The NCAA doesn't seem to have much worth anymore, but one thing that they could do is require all NIL deals to be disclosed. That would help shut down the rumors, and kids playing the schools against one another with bluffs of how much another school has offered. It won't end it all, there will still be cash under the table or in McDonald's bags, but might level it out some.

It wouldn’t be the player…no need to but, but, but as a means for being acceptable in one sport being acceptable in softball.Tampering? Name one situation where a player got in trouble for that. Football has way more of it going on and nothing happens
Not defending… I just don’t think teams, coaches or players have any concern of getting in trouble for tampering.It wouldn’t be the player…no need to but, but, but as a means for being acceptable in one sport being acceptable in softball.
You also don’t need to attempt to defend your school here either.
