I don't think the NCAA has really had to deal with this type of RECRUITING before therefore they don't really know what to do, and they aren't going to do anything till member institutions start speaking up.

I'm afraid that you're uninfomred with regards to this. ADs, school presidents and conference commissioners complained about the add throughout the NCAA tournament, with the same complaints that you're voicing. THey weren't complaining because he does commercials but because the commercials were aired during a recuriting dead period, the NCAA tourney. The NCAA and Miles Brand released a statement saying that the commercials did not violate any NCAA regualtions.

As for airing them during the NBA Finals, if it's recruiting, it's recruiting. We aren't currently in a dead period. So while I mute the commercial when it comes on for reasons that mick and rainmaker have already stated, I don't see an issue from a recruiting standpoint. He's allowed to recruit at this time.
