Mora’s tweet on tampering happening right now

[huskymedic]

I'm curious what people think about the tweet and the program it is directed at. Does the conference affiliation matter? Is the tweet fine if it is a P2 program? P4 program?

The first attempt by a school might have been a freebie… not heeding the warning and subsequent attempts may not be.

They aren't gonna pursue anything, it's just a great scheme for attention. Mora probably has at least one more tweet planned to go viral

This post has got me thinking they're going to pursue something.

"They didn't listen..." sounds like some off camera WWE storyline building

I was thinking along the lines of “They thought they had a chance to win the game. They did not”

I read Michigan is calling on Bell. I know they had a lackluster season, but they did beat Alabama in their bowl game and it's Michigan which is hard to beat when it comes to sheer history and pedigree.

I seem to recall Tenn courting Joly last year. Bell will be fine but I’d still be anxious until signed and paid.

Mora shouldve waited until tomorrow to drop this. Not gonna get as much attention during the Sugar Bowl

Does this mean Uconn won't be friends with Pac 12 or be joining as a FB only anytime soon,

 

[AD DB Burner]

Don’t tag the program FB account on Twitter, tag the HC @WazzuRogers instead

Plot twist: it's a WWE storyline to get UConn FB into the Pac

UDub alum calling out rival Wazzu, and their new head coach, for tampering leading up to UConn’s defeat of UNC, and/or after a player withdrew from the transfer portal?

 

[Jetskies]

is it me, or is this tampering saga more entertaining than the season itself?
"babe, wake up - Jim Mora just tweeted some more names"

 

[cellocgg]

so I'm reading the first paragraph of Mora's statement and ... sounds like he wanted to leave for Wazzu? A Wazzu fan mentioned he had a Zoom interview

 

[Kolumbo]

the dude's like, "wow, I'm popular on twitter today!" UConn fans lighting him up.

This Jimmy Rogers seems like a nice guy. UConn beat UNC on Dec 28th and Rogers officially became the Wazzu head coach on the same day.

this is classic. The Wazzu message board praising Jim Mora for speaking up. No new posts in this thread...yet.

Mora threatening coaches who have tampered with his roster...

Applaud this and why we aren't doing something similar, or having the conference be our mouth piece, has been very curious from my perspective.

I feeling like the timing was perfect just after the sugar bowl ended.

I believe that is the player's quote, not Mora.

According to WSU fan comments, Mora's agent was trying to get him an interview for the job but he wasn't interviewed. If so, this is kind of a bad look. I mean, it could very well just be an agent trying to make their clients the most money and giving him the most exposure and that makes total sense, but naming them comes off as sour grapes then. Also, they're pretty low on the totem pole and a fairly sympathetic team. At the same time, it's a "safe" team to name as they aren't really connected to any interest of ours.

Certainly no need for a person to use quotation marks for their own comment.

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?

He’s a business lawyer. He has no clue. Just his best guess.

 

[UC70]

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 wro in

How much you kicking in?

Yup, that’s the answer. Open up your wallet because that’s what it takes.

Bullcrap but I expert it from a WAZZU trying to protect their program and the new coach

The whole Mora wanted the WSU job and couldn’t get an interview made no sense since they were trying to drive the salary down…

https://247sports.com/college/washington-state/article/wsu-football-jimmy-rogers-salary-what-to-make-of-salary-new-coach-243170461/amp/

-> WASHINGTON STATE WILL be paying new football coach Jimmy Rogers $1.57 million per year over the next five years, according to multiple reports. As expected, in order to come into line with Group of 5 rather than Power 5 market rates, that's a steep decline from the $2.56 million Jake Dickert made this year.

But that number, $1.57 million, is also way down from what coaches are making at the top of the reconstituted Pac-12. You might think -- for appearances sake as a recent power conference member -- WSU would want to match the $2 million salary Oregon State is paying Trent Bray. <-
