Ohio State Recruit Jamier Brown Accuses Schools of Using Women in NIL Offers

Five-star wide receiver commit Jamier Brown told Endzone Exposure that “a couple schools have offered a couple females out for me to commit to that school.” The claim suggests that some programs incorporated personal relationships with women as part of name, image and likeness (NIL) incentives to secure his commitment.

Recruiting discussions now frequently involve name, image and likeness (NIL) agreements, with schools presenting various incentives to attract top prospects. Brown’s allegation indicates that, in at least one instance, programs may have extended non-financial, personal incentives as part of NIL negotiations.

Neither Ohio State nor Notre Dame issued public comments addressing the allegations. No officials from the schools have released statements confirming or denying the reported practices. The lack of official response leaves the claims unverified by the institutions involved.

The two sources repeat identical quotations but provide no names of the “couple schools” alleged to have offered women. No independent verification, documentation of NIL contracts, or corroborating testimony from additional recruits is presented, leaving the factual basis uncertain.
