I've seen a lot of things from the NCAA when it comes to handling cases of infractions, but this one might take the cake. In a letter obtained by SI, the NCAA has asked its member schools to help them identify potential NIL infractions.

The NCAA sent out the letter in hopes that players and coaches could help them identify potential violations that have occurred or will occur.

“To those ends, the enforcement staff is actively investigating potential abuses of NIL transactions and we’ll allege any substantiated concerns as soon as possible. We also constantly review new reports of tampering, recruiting inducements, impermissible benefits, impermissible recruiters and other related behaviors. We engage across the membership and pursue actionable leads aggressively. As member schools know, our focus is not on targeting student-athletes, but rather the actors who pose a threat to the integrity of college sports.”

Here’s where it gets even better. The NCAA is encouraging schools to work with them on potential NIL violations that may have occurred. This committee must think these schools are absolutely crazy, as working with the NCAA has rarely worked out in the past. Maybe Tennessee can be an example of working with them, but that has yet to be proven.
