Fast forward to the future...all coaches fly in on helicopters...no big thang anymore...so....  

Nick Saban becomes the first NCAA coach to skydive and land on a high school field, with Alabama logo on the parachute.  With pinpoint precision, the University of Alabama/Adidas stealth bomber (gigantic Adidas logo on the underbelly with BIG-time naming rights) does a flyover just as Coach Saban touches the ground.  While all of this is taking place, the University of Alabama/Nike football drone is broadcasting the entire event in a live, pay-per-view spectacle (all profits will be used to fund the new University of Alabama/New Balance nuclear submarine, which will be used to facilitate future visits to high schools in Coastal cities.)  Coach Saban then takes a quick tour of the high school, using the University of Alabama/Under Armour jetpack (no time for walkin' folks).   Although NCAA rules still prevent him from making contact with recruits, he uses the University of Alabama/Geico telepathic communicator to send untraceable, subliminal messages to the recruit, such as "Coach Saban likes you MUCH better than that 5-star recruit from IMG."       

I cannot wait.  And to think some folks consider Alabama a bit backwards.

There is something incredibly unseemly, if not downright dystopian, about this scenario. But the sad thing is, it may well play out. Maybe it's a good thing I am relatively old, and probably don't have that much time left. Not sure I want to be around for this.

    • In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.   
    • So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?
    • 1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .  
    • So, after one very brief reading, it appears that the policy will be as follows:   kids, you can cut an NIL deal, but it can't have anything to do with the school you're at or any school that wants you to come there or anyone associated with any of those schools (i.e., boosters).
