DE Raymond Cutts announced on X that he's staying in Troy.

I love his post. A true Trojan.
He'll be a handful next season. Sumrall was very high on him. He played in 12 games this year with 19 tackles, 2.5 TFL's, and 1.5 sacks. He'll be a handful next year.

This guy needs to be celebrated, taken out to the finest dinner Pike Co allows, lifted up on everyone's shoulders at parties, and to be sung to with "He's A Jolly Good Fellow" over the stadium loudspeakers at noon every day for a solid semester.

Someone, take him to Sister's for the buffet. Let him go nuts.

The rules are weird man. We were tailgating one time and it was really hot outside. A pair of band members in full uniform were talking to each other about finding water. I hollered for them to come over and take some bottles of water and anything else we had at our tailgate. They said they couldn’t because they could get in big trouble. I gave them water and my business card. I said if they had any problems at all, to call me and I would speak to Uncle Jack. If the band can’t take free water, then the rules for football must be really messed up.

The band issue was bad info from those kids. Nothing wrong with giving them anything, they are not NCAA student athletes.
A meal at Sister's however would be bad! A meal at Sister's as part of an NIL agreement between student athlete and Sister's to promote their brands would be perfectly fine.
Your friendly unpaid compliance officer is signing off

Or maybe that was just something I heard a long time ago and my brain is having a nimrod moment

You’re not wrong. NIL deals can essentially be done with anybody. Bama is paying NIL $$ to players who are already gone.
NCAA does not govern bands though, so therefor no such thing as impermissible benefits.

I'm certain the band thing is more a SOTS leadership saying "don't take random things from strangers at a tailgate or anywhere". I'm sure they'd have to say that because if someone gave them something that was laced with illicit things, that could be a liability.

And I was being facetious with the above offers. I'm just saying it is a good thing to celebrate and show value to these kids as much as possible that are choosing to make this call verses the other ones bailing for one reason or another and we're wishing Godspeed to them somewhere else.
