That didn’t take long. Bamas new coach seems to think the rules are different for him and Bama. That was true when Saban was there, but he isn’t there anymore. Looks like he is gonna need a lawyer. Maybe UT can recommend someone.

: Alabama & HC Kalen DeBoer are being accused of TAMPERING with Arizona Star QB Noah Fifita...

Fifita led Arizona to 10 wins last season, and is considered as one of the top QBs in the sport. His dad has now revealed that Alabama reached out to them despite Noah NEVER entering the portal... ???

| Les Fifita (father): "We had three[schools reach out] for sure. Alabama is the only one we were really interested in outside of Arizona and staying and obviously Washington."

This all went down around a week after DeBoer was hired at Alabama, which is ILLEGAL.

According to the NCAA rules, coaches are NOT allowed to contact athletes who are not in the portal.

Following a push by Arizona's top donors, Noah Fifita decided to stay in Tucson over going to Alabama or Washington

Even though Fifita ultimately rejected Alabama, this alleged interaction is still considered tampering. With the NCAA beginning to crack down on programs, there could be more to come with this story...

It's just time to end the NCAA at this point. This will be a nonstop charade.

The way he has held his team together since accepting the job, LMAO, they probably self reported to get out of the contract.

Is it considered tampering to contact someone associated with the player and not directly contacting the player (in this case contacting a family member)?

It's obviously tampering either way, but I'm asking because I'm not sure what the rules say about this and if this is a loophole that coaches use. Who are coaches prevented from talking to other than the player himself? I'm not sure

Item 1: A twitter account called "BlueBloodBias". Yeah, that's a reliable source for sure.

Item 2: As Iowa just demonstrated with a Bama starting OL they bought, it's a Level 3 violation - meaning if you aren't contacting players at positions of need regardless of their portal status, you aren't serious about winning.

What does that even mean? Can't you just up someone's offer and they just leave?
