Mora’s tweet on tampering happening right now

I see potential for new elective courses at UConn Law School (does law school have electives?).
 
this has to stop, players cannot be tampered with if we have to sue for early and constant contact it's a must, I bet you that's why Yates and Bell were/are in the portal I don't blame the kids for taking money opportunities given to them, I blame the scummy people who actually don't care about these kids past their level of talent and how much money they can make from them. these "agents" and "coaches" are scummy for the most part.

Unfortunately, calling them out publicly is all you can do. There is no one to enforce what passes as rules, and when boosters hiding behind NIL collectives call kids (or their parents or high school coaches), without a lawsuit and subpoenas there is no way to make the schools responsible for the calls anyway.

If a school or schools contacted players before a game and asked them to impact the outcome of that game by either not playing or not giving 100%, there is quite a bit UConn can do, including reporting the offending programs to the FBI and state law enforcement. I am certain this has happened already several times. I suspect that no one wants to make a big deal about it because so many programs are "cheating" this way, but fixing a sports event is a crime in many states, and I don't think gambling has to be involved.

No, trying to get a kid to change schools, especially between seasons, is not a federal crime.

True. Tough spot for us if it's Big 12/ACC schools. We can't really afford to make enemies with their Presidents at this point in time.

ouch.
the pessimist in me imagines it was those schools exactly, knowing we need to play nice as long as we're outside looking in. i hope we're wrong

We have no idea what Mora is upset about, but tampering with the outcome of a game is a crime. Aren't you a lawyer?
 
Hopefully what the kids realize…is that a coach who bends the rules to get them to commit is a coach who won’t honor those commitments when they have signed with that school. On the other side, you see a coach fighting for doing things the right way.

I know which coach I would want to play for.

Mora didn't say anything about the game. 24 hours before that text was well after the game ended

I was not aware you had performed a forensic analysis of all the contacts between other schools and our players. Thank you for that.

The situation I laid out in my post is very much a crime, and I stand by my assertion that it is a virtual certainty that this has already happened, somewhere in college football.

Your forensic analysis of this having to do with the game is where exactly? Did you bet on UNC and are grasping at straws to make yourself feel better about that.

Lashing out defensively is not a good look.

UConn's Jim Mora Calls Out Teams Breaking Tampering Rules After Transfer Portal Ended

The date was 12/28 but not for everyone:


-> ARE THERE EXCEPTIONS TO THE DEADLINE?

Several!

The most notable has to do with postseason play. Any player who participates in the postseason — be it a bowl or playoff game — has an additional five-day window to enter the portal once their season comes to an end.

If a player's bowl game is Jan. 1, they have through Jan. 6 to enter the portal.

So if a player plays in the national title game Jan. 20, they have through Jan. 25 to enter the portal. That means there will be a small but steady stream of portal entrants through late January.

There's also an exception made for players who go through a head coaching change. Any player in that situation is allowed an immediate 30-day window to enter the transfer portal. <-

Not a lawyer but I’d be somewhat surprised if the statutes covering match fixing didn’t require some intent to impact the outcome of the game. A third party school tampering with a player and telling them not to play in a bowl game does not care about the outcome of the Fenway bowl. Presumably their hope would be to get them to transfer sooner or reduce the risk of injury if they’ve already committed. You’re taking quite a strong position, should at least have some basis in a statute you can quote.
