Ryan Day said at a press conference that he can't be involved in anything related to NIL deals -- can't even mention it. So, if the rules are that teams can contact potential transfers only after the players place themselves in the portal, and when they do they can't mention NIL deals, then maybe it's not quite the situation I presented above. Although as a practical matter, booster groups that provide NIL deals are likely able to contact potential transfers to go over the money piece.
