Mora’s tweet on tampering happening right now

[noeynox]

I have it on good authority that this doesn’t work.

It's like giving the entire team a redshirt year.

Forget how to play football+bring the wrong cleats to Fresno=What Randy Edsall will be remembered for here.

I used the Blue White Spring game to get the grill out and tailgate and then try and glean information about new players.

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.

Dozens will be disappointed

Yes the few thousand or so who go will be

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

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.

Wisconsin is totally right. Stop poachig. Players need to honor business contracts. When money is at stake, rules are different.

 

[Vowelguy]

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.

 

[billybud]

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.”

ESPN is a betting service and should never be relied upon for unbiased information in a day and age when you can bet on what I had for breakfast.
Get ready to celebrate if you put your paycheck on M&Ms

On Wisconsin’s side here. If Miami wins then nothing stops a player from leaving after Week 3 for Alabama. Or basketball players leaving when their team is out of postseason contention by February. Needs to be resolved.

I know it's my vote for best fight song.

This is good what the hell took so long. Even UGA wasn't willing to bend over for Carson Beck.

NCAA isn't going to be anything other than a passenger in this. We've moved to contract law. If these NIL/Scholarship agreements have exclusively or non-compete language then schools can go after the players. Leagues like the B1G can also freeze out agents but that's unlikely to succeed.

Without a collective bargaining agreement, I'm not sure how they go after a poaching school. In pro sports, tampering is a league issue.

Wisconsin is shouting at the moon here.

It's a good one but I personally would place it third.

Michigan's (Hail to the Victors) is second, ours (UConn Husky) is first.

Their choices are either be a passive victim, or make some noise about it, and hope that it changes the risk reward analysis of tampering at Wisconsin.

For what it's worth, as college athletes continue to move down the continuum from "student athlete" to semi professional athlete to pro athlete unionization would seem to be inevitable. I wonder whether becoming a "pro-lite" league will eventually cost fan support. A lot of people say that it will. I don't love it, but I don't necessarily see myself stopping watching games. I'll probably care a little bit less though.

Ya have to do something, even programs from the Big and SEC are affected by this, if 1 program speaks up, perhaps the next program does as well.

Sure tampering will always go on but the goal is to make those tampering schools world smaller, and make them feel more uncomfortable. It's about time some one had the stones to call out Miami.

They already said the transfer portal doesn't matter and kids can transfer, and immediately compete without it. So I guess this boils down to if the signed document between the school and the kid actually means anything. If it does, you wonder why they wouldn't be going after the kid. As for any tampering, it's unlikely they have anything other than some hearsay, and if they do have it and expose it, then it is only a matter of time until someone alleges it against them, or any other school. It's going to be more trouble than it is worth in my opinion. To me this just feels like one of the big 2 leagues trying to flex some muscle in an effort to scare teams from the other leagues away from their players.
