Coaches face timing issues on discussing NIL money with recruits

During a recent recruiting roundup, college sports coaches highlighted the challenges of addressing NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) money with recruits. Schools prefer to initiate discussions in spring, while recruits often seek information earlier. In the past week, various teams secured 49 commitments following a series of official visits, with UNLV leading the way by obtaining ten new commits. The NCAA defines this period as a quiet time where face-to-face contact is restricted, although communication remains open on campus and through digital means.
