Mora’s tweet on tampering happening right now

Guys do not want to participate in bowl games. Younger players do not want spring games. Maybe they just want more NIL $ for their effort ? More pay or no game. Wait until they unionize.

This isn't about the players not wanting a spring game. This is about coaches hiding the abilities of their players so they don't lose them so easily to the portal. It's all about the portal.

I used the Blue White Spring game to get the grill out and tailgate and then try and glean information about new players. At one time, our attendance wasn't bad, and the game was televised. Now, college football is so upside down that teams don't want other teams to see their players and recruit them away in the portal. Something has to be done to put some parameters around the portal.

I agree. Fun time out for fans in the middle of April is a silly proposition.

I know you are being facetious, but I really do miss the spring games when the weather was good. Having to break out the 100 SPF sunscreen. drink some obligatory beers, down some stadium eats, I never understood why it never drew that well. But if the weather was good in April, spring was breaking out all over and the possibilities outdoors were endless I guess.
 
Spring games were a chance to fill 80,000 seat stadiums one more time per year.

I liked going during the RE1.0 time. Live scrimmage and you would get to see some redshirt freshmen that showed potential as playmakers. A Lutrus comes to mind. Diaco brought in a transfer tight end from somewhere from the mid-west that looked great at catching the ball but never made it to the fall for some reason. It was also an opportunity to sell some season tickets. IIRC RE had one at Memorial one year? Also liked attending the open practice at Storrs under PP. Got a very up-close look at the players and was able to listen as they were coached up at the various position groups. We walked over to the sleds and talked with Don Brown for a while, He was very accommodating and generous.

It was a good time. Helped us assess our future tailgate needs in advance. Never understood why HCRE always insisted on having it on the 1st day of fishing season. Killed any chance of any participation from Vernon residents.

The third string player's wet dream. #2 on depth chart transfer just before spring game and #1 gets injured. Boom, 3rd to 1st just like that.

"Cole Welliver has given the defensive line a case of monster, can they tell the difference"

no accusations, just a tease :)
 


Sounds familiar…

-> Big Ten Staffer 1: We beat a team two years ago in our stadium, and three days later, two recruiting staff members from that team were direct messaging one of our top players who, he’s such a nice kid, he came in and asked, ‘Hey, do you want me to take this to compliance, or you guys want to handle it at this point?’ So I just called up that recruiting guy and say, ‘What are you doing, dude?’ To which he quickly says, ‘Well, hey, that wasn’t me.’ I was like, ‘I have the screenshot if you’d like me to share them with you.’ <-

Never reported by that staffer though to NCAA, because he is doing so other shady shit

Sounds like this should be a bigger story in general or at least plastered on ESPN's NCAAF page with a "Breaking News" banner.

Now if Wisconsin wins that could go many ways. Either it really restricts tampering or it does nothing at all to curb tampering or somewhere in between these 2 extremes.
Would the NCAA have enough power to enforce penalties for tampering? It would have to be a larger governing NCAA body. The conferences certainly would not care because if the good players are transferring into a team in their conference why would they punish that team in their conference for getting that good player(s) even if it was through ill-gotten gains.
 
Been saying for awhile that this is worse than the pros because at least they have rolled around contracts, tampering, etc.

Anytime anyone tries to assert some control they lose in court.

As of 4:12 PM Eastern, it's the lead story under "Top Headlines" but not shown with a lead-in large graphic on the NCAAF page...makes sense, as why would the total sports network want to draw negative attention to their cough, hack, wheeze darling #2 conference. I love watching this bonfire.
 
loopholes...and kids have agents. And you can talk to agents without penalty, it seems.

“Nowadays, agents are calling you with a list of guys that are currently on rosters, and they’re saying, ‘Hey, here’s my list of 30 guys,” one Big Ten staffer said. “Let me know if you’re interested in any of them.’ As much as tampering is a problem, just in college football in general, the agent side of things is the biggest issue in my opinion, and they’re just doing their jobs. But it makes it tough.”
