The law in each state has nothing to do with whether a kid is eligible to play. They can pay all they want but if the NCAA says the kids is ineligible then they can’t play. A booster for Eastern Michigan is publicly offering Caleb Williams 1 million to sign with EMU. The NCAA needs to get out in front of this before they have to rule most of the star players ineligible.
You are correct. They can't directly use NIL to recruit players, but look what Texas Longhorns are doing:
Boosters set up a program called "The Pancake Factory" which will pay offensive lineman on scholarship $50,000 a year. They are not targeting any certain recruit, but the word is out that "if you sign a scholarship to play o-line at Texas, you will get $50,000."
The program was set up as the first "charitable NIL entity" and the players will perform charity work for yet-to-be-disclosed charities. The organization said it hopes to expand the program to other football position groups and Longhorns athletes in the future.
