No contract rules are absurd in the context of today’s recruiting world. I would not be surprised if courts held them to be improper restraints on trade.

Was that supposed to say "no contact rules"?
I might not be surprised if the courts hold them as a restraint of trade (and we have a whole off target thread about non-compete agreements).  Given the number of transfers and the portal, the NCAA *might* have a defense that there is no evidence that the no contact rules are hurting the athletes, but it is a rapidly evolving legal situation so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ?

Looks like the violations look to have been pretty minor, except for lying to the NCAA.  Oops.
