So now, calling out tampering is soft. What a fucked up college football world we're in.

I’m glad, frankly. Someone has to step up and lead. The feckless NCAA and that whore Greg Stankey damn sure won’t do it:

I don't know about leading, but I'm all for anyone bringing these deals into the light. The more that happens the more folks will become disgusted with it.

That leads to the second point...

NCAA can't do anything about it cause the court system slapped them down every single time. SEC and B1G are likely to split off and create their own league with rules, but they would need an anti-trust exemption.

Dabo is just defending his turf. Has to be done.

I get what Dabo is doing, he actually brought receipts for the back room wheeling and dealing.

I feel like all the other accusations thrown around lack any sort of focus.

Agreed. Golding cried and cried about tampering just to rally his fanbase against LSU so getting exposed for this with no details left out can hopefully help clean up the dirtyness.

Dabo certainly opened my eyes to Golding while Ole Miss hasnt denied shite.

I bet schoos will think twice before they cross Dabo.

This is the most egregious tampering I've seen.

As Dabo said,
quote:

“There’s tampering. And then, there’s blatant tampering,” Swinney said. “Tampering 101 is when you’re talking to kids who aren’t in the portal, Tampering 201 is when you’ve already negotiated the deal with the kids not in the portal.

“Tampering 301 is when you’ve got a kid who’s going in the portal to sign somewhere, move there, going to classes and you’re texting them while they’re in class. That’s like a whole ‘nother level of tampering.”

What about funneling money through a mega church to recruits? Is that legal?

Yeah that's corrupt as hell and according to Dabo the players agent was only willing to sing like a canary for Dabo only if Dabo added an extra 1 year and million more dollars to the contract.


Texas did Tampering 301 to Bama. That kid was already taking classes as well. We need to be serious about this shite because nonaction is arming big fish with bazookas against little fish

Yep, is this really a trail that the NCAA is willing to go down now that they have opened the door to all this BS with the NIL and Transfer portal. There is no telling what kind of BS is going on behind the scenes with these teams.


If they are going to let teams tattle on each other, they are going to be very busy. And like you said, that means they are going to have to do the same to the big boys, now just the lower tier programs


The are going to be in a mess

By no means is this the only reason things are as shitty as they are and it didn't start with this either, but my god the WVU transfer case from 2019 or whenever it was really just fricked everything. It stripped almost all legal teeth the NCAA could have if they ever wanted to use any.

Contracts. Only way to go. Make the players that bail pay the “buyout”. They want big boy money play by big boy rules.

That’s why University sponsored NIL stuff needs to be abolished. If you can’t manage on 15ish million a year for an amateur team then maybe the NFL needs to start a development league and allow high school grads to participate.

Granted with that said Universities also need to give back to the fans in lowering tickets prices and such. When you are discussing a 100 million dollar budget each year for athletics I don’t think that’s what college sports was intended. Also stop all betting on college games as well.
