Pay-for-play now legal?

“NCAA athletes have been permitted to earn NIL compensation since July 2021, but within certain parameters. For example, schools are not allowed to directly recruit players -- high school prospects or transfer portal entrants -- using NIL opportunities.

Friday's ruling changes that for the time being and is merely the latest example of the NCAA struggles in court.“

So does this mean Notre Dame can start legally buying players up front, the way 90% of big time CFB programs have been doing the last two years illegally?
