maybe we need some anti tapering wiseguys also, for michigan types, capesh? it would be unfortunate if michigan tampering guy has accident.
Most likely very true BUT what are you going to do constructively about it? Like it or not NIL and the transfer portal are here to stay because there's a new emphasis on giving players their rights driven by the legal system. You can impose more regulations on the process but then how do you enforce them?
why do we have people like warren buffet around if they are not buying the best players in the portal?
Well you probably won't have Warren around that many more years. He's getting up there in years.
riley did'nt tamper,he ripped the copper piping out the house, on the clock
$300k dinner for the manning kid - no problemo
There aren't any rules to enforce.
So what's going to be the enforcement mechanism? Do you have to have an NCAA police force than can cover so many schools? How are you going to prove a school called the parents or players if they don't cooperate? Not arguing for cheating, just pointing out that enforcement isn't that easy to cover so many schools when the perps involved have a mutual motivation to keep it all hidden.
The only thing you could maybe do is to put a clause in the scholarship contract that kids have to sign. Then you might have standing to file a civil suit against the school and the player. At some point it’s going to come about that not only do you have to pay the kid but you have to pay the school you poach him from. Something is going to change and lawyers are going to make a bunch of money
Well, it's a given that lawyers ALWAYS make a bunch of money no matter what the outcome.
A little melodramatic, don't you think? NCAA Bylaw 13 prohibits the conduct that constitutes tampering. The issue is getting caught. As someone else mentioned, if these coaches know it's going on, name names and report it to your compliance officer.
BUT how do the coaches prove it's going on if the parties involved keep the tampering to themselves? Coaches can have a lot of suspicions and make allegations but to be able to prove them is another thing. Are the coaches going to wiretap the phones of players and their parents?
Lots of starving lawyers out there trying to keep the lights on. I’ve been both amazed and disappointed by some of the people defended and lawsuits filed by attorneys I’ve known over the years. One guy I consider a friend defended a kid that everybody knew was responsible for the death of his girlfriend. Got him acquitted. Nebraska’s attorney to the stars has defended at least one awful human being because the guy could afford his fee. ☹️ Not going to use his name because I don’t want a defamation suit. ☹️☹️Well, it's a given that lawyers ALWAYS make a bunch of money no matter what the outcome.
And what if the players or their parents are initiating the contact with the school because they're fishing for more NIL?
The issue would be collecting evidence. It sure would get interesting if a kid got pissed at his new team’s coach and ratted him out. NIL and the new transfer rules have really opened a can of worms. IMO the transfer rule change is almost more of a problem than NIL.
Is it tampering for a NIL collective to openly state “this is our rate for a successful starting QB”?Pretty much everybody knows before the season is over if a school is looking for a transfer at a specific position for the next season”.
NCAA is as useless as teats on a bull. Always a day late and a few million short.
