Tampering

[WR Cane]

Sorry if this has been posted, but it's everything we already knew....

Welcome to college football's new 'wild, wild West': The era of tampering

Tampering officially arrived in college football this offseason, leaving coaches to both lament the current state of the game -- and try to keep up.

I was crying at Nick Satan's comments. Poor thing might have to drop heavier bags to keep others from "tampering".................

Some of these coaches promise the world to recruits to get them to sign on the dotted line. Those coaches are the ones that are most unhappy with the new reality because they might actually have to be genuine with the recruit...

Plenty of blame to go around. The power shifted, and now the game has changed. Curious to see if it’s for the better or worse in the coming years.

Hilarious listening to Saban talk about morality and not cheating.

Saw the title and thought "what the **** do they have on us now?"

Didn't read the article, but I'm interested in seeing how this plays out for Bama considering you will undoubtedly have really good players that can't get on the field and will transfer which could affect depth. He won't be able to stack guys like he has IMO.

You sure about that?.

The rest of the sec will be his jv squad and soon as guys show promise will be respecting decisions to transfer...see Tenn Lb

 

[MichiCANE]

They'll adjust accordingly.

Those jobs for your family will have clauses in.

For sure, brother. I mean, was Alabama tampering with the Dolphins when they hired Nick Saban?

Such a dumb mentality that these coaches can change jobs on a dime, but athletes don’t have that same freedom. Sorry Nick, the world is changing for the better. You can’t treat college athletes like they’re your property anymore.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Saban using numerous games - including our own - to have his assorted army of enhanced recruiters to try to peel away superlative talents from his opponents. Imagine if Alabama simply got 10 five star transfers each year with two years of eligibility left...or players who are performing at five star level regardless of their high school ranking.

Just use Johnny Manziel as an example. Manziel plays extremely well his first year at A&M, and after the game against Alabama the bagmen offer him $450K to transfer to Alabama for his junior season. Just one player - but a huge balance of power shift within the SEC. Or Joe Burrows...imagine if he had one year of eligiblity left in 2020. The bagmen offer him $1M to jump to Alabama. You've crushed one of your primary yearly opponents and just vastly improved your own chances to win the NC.
