Generally yes, but when you go down the tortious interference road, you open yourself up to quite a bit of liability, and risk criminal penalties.  I know a situation fairly well where a company got smoked in a tortious interference case that was not that cut and dry, but once the defendant lost, the courts really piled on with penalties.  A good rule of thumb in life is to not induce someone else to violate a contract that you are aware of.

Once guilt is established with tampering, it is not a big step to get to Match Fixing.  A sophisticated party can be liable if it induced participants in a match to act in a way that the party had to know would impact the outcome of the match.

Again, no one on the board knows the specifics of the Mora situation, but I am confident that it is a virtual certainty that players have been induced to leave, reduce their effort, or enter the transfer portal in a way that was designed to cause damage to another coach or program.  It is a mortal lock that something like that has occurred, somewhere in college athletics.
