UA unaccompanied minors - new ticket requirements?

I have some post holiday travel in the beginning of Jan - flying out of Denver (yikes, I know)
I am flying to one city (OGG)
I am bringing a UM daughter (14 yrs/old) of a friend of mine to the airport for her flight to a different city (we are both leaving around the same time)
..she has a lot of travel experience, often alone - and typically on LUV that has less strict rules

I am booking her ticket (was trying to get an award ticket - but that is a different issue - and I have gotten her tickets before) - and now I noticed UA is requiring me to enter the names of who is dropping off at airport (me - which, even though unrelated, hopefully will be an issue) and then I need to enter who is picking her up - not sure we know yet, father, grandparents, etc (UA saws we can call and change at anytime?).

I tried looking at the UA site for this - and not a lot of details

any advice as it appears that the rules are getting more strict (which is somewhat understandable - considering I will be an adult male traveling with a teenage girl who I am not related to?) - typically her mom brings her through TSA (both have CLEAR, as do I - and I have pre-check also) - but it is just easier if I take her?

....mods/etc - I know there are some older discussions on this, but it appears the rules are changing/in flux....
