Why?
only fix is collective bargaining and structure. right now we are in the wild west stage of market freedom.
to make this all work, some kind of a players union and ncaa (or substitute) authority need to work out a format.
the concentration of top talent by a few programs and the concentration of top money by a few players is not sustainable. this is why the nfl is the biggest and most successful non-free market sport in the world.

Why what
Why shouldn't it be allowed during recruitment?
I'm genuinely confused on this, and it may just be that I have a ****ed up view of NIL. But my view of it is if someone is willing to give you money for whatever reason, they should be able to. It's the way it exists in the world at large, why not here? We shouldn't be stopping rich people from making stupid decisions with their money. In fact, we should be encouraging it because it usually leads to hilarious things that end well for others.

I don't think the colleges should be allowed to even broach the subject until the player is signed.
The real world has limits on this. For instance, most of us would lose our job if we were accepting bribes or kickbacks from current & potential vendors / clients. I mean, I don't think anyone here is on the Supreme Court.
There are people here I wish were on SCOTUS.
break the code here for an old guy
It’s a smirking face emoji. Smirking face means something good. Probably. You’re welcome!
we need some good news around here…probably my $100 donation to 5230 is what pushed us over the top lol
If you donated to 5230, you got scammed. It‘s 5430.
it was the proper site lolIf you donated to 5230, you got scammed. It‘s 5430.
Should rename the thread to be the 5430 Alliance. Looks like they hired someone to run the thing.

Done.
Looks like they dropped the pretex of being charitable (no longer a 501c3) and offloaded that to another organization to avoid IRS scrutiny.
That seems to be a very big change in direction/mission. They started as a "no overhead" donation group. 100 pct of your donation would go to players, and the founders would pay whatever overhead they incurred. Now it seems like they are becoming like any regular business, and I doubt that they are zero overhead anymore. I have a monthly donation set up, but I can't imagine continuing as I have no interest in paying a portion for this lady's salary.Should rename the thread to be the 5430 Alliance.

You should reach out and ask.
Did so when they announced the "alliance." Crickets.
The way I look at it if I want to directly give a CU or WYO athlete a few $100 bills to sign a football or a pair of track shoes, I’ll do it myself and the mangy bureaucrats can stick it.
If they don’t like it I’ll refer them to Roberts, Kagan, and Gorsuch, et al.

It appears that 5430 is becoming a well funded operation, if you ask me
OpEx inflation and unclear financial reporting are two hallmarks of excellent portfolio companies
I’m sure the headcount expansion is closely tied to the deluge of ops work keeping up with the increasing complexity of this org
The salaries of this org could reach or be equivalent to 2-3 difference makers on the field. It's great to have oversight but with limited resources compared to say Oregon, every dollar is meaningful and should be spent on players not adults behind a laptop. 5430 was literally created to help bring players in. From someone who was the founder and CEO of a 501c3, having that in place to regulate salaries and keep donations visible/honest is pretty important. I could be missing some details here, but this doesn't sound like a good direction
You guys are weird.
Before, the complains were that they are not professional and there is not enough resource dedicated to operation/fund raising.
Now, they hired people to do so and the complains become they should not use money to hire anyone.
It's impressive how you guys can always find something to complain,
