I'm not an elected official but as a gov't employee I can't take a coke from your local landfill for fear the next decision I make that benefits them may have been influenced.
Is the coach responsible for the university's fleet decisions? If not, I see no reason why the coach could not get a commission for influencing people to buy Hondas. He's not using his influence to unfairly use the university's money.

If he take the recruit out to eat using his own money, no problem. If he spends the university's money to take the recruit out and gets a kickback, big difference.

EDIT: I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just educating myself here. Seems like if he's not using the university's $ to enrich himself, he hasn't violated anything. So if he's funneling the university's money through Nike to a recruit, that's a big problem of misallocated government funds. If he's funneling donor's money through Nike it's an NCAA problem. Isn't it?
