Doesn't this violate some NCAA rule or some state law?

Washington — In some part because of his 1340 SAT score and in large part because of his No. 1 recruiting ranking, Myron Rolle was the Florida State football program's top priority.
Because Rolle meant so much to the Seminoles, the defensive back from New Jersey also became a priority for the state of Florida.
I'm excited you're looking at Florida State. [FSU President] T.K. Wetherell and I are friends. When you come to Tallahassee again, let's hook up with each other.
— Jeb Bush
That was the text message, as Rolle remembered it, from the state's governor. Rolle said it hit his cellphone the same weekend he hit Florida State for a recruiting visit. Two weeks ago, after sifting through 80-plus scholarship offers, Rolle enrolled at FSU.
