Tony Rojas- Miami tampering

“And Dan and I talked about it this week, how Franklin had more of a policy of paying everybody on the roster, whereas there are obviously other theories out there for how you should allot those funds.
So, I don't know if this is out there now, but I'll say it now. One of those people they probably could have gotten, had they been as aggressive as others were, Dylan Theineman. What did Dylan Theineman do to Penn State and effectively the James Franklin era?
He ended it.
He ended it, yeah.
So, there's irony in that, is there not? I thought if you could get past some of the eye-popping language of the craft audio, from a purely like newsy standpoint, I thought it was pretty funny to hear the quiet part out loud about how they essentially tampered with Carnell Tate and how Miami is currently tampering with Tony Rojas. Again, people from college football day to day will not be surprised to hear any of this, but to hear, even if it was illegally recorded, to hear someone in that seat say that out loud in front of his players.”

“Tampering” and “back-channeling” are often used synonymously and interchangeably, but are quite different. Tampering can get you in trouble (hypothetically). Back-channeling is what EVERY team does to recruit Portal players and is benign.

We back-channel the crap out of players. No need to worry.

ChatGPT gave me examples of how to signal intent without violating NCAA rules. I am quite confident that Mario and his staff know exactly how to stay on the right side of the line, even if they go all the way up to it and maybe even touch it without crossing it.:

1. A player can make their general status known without contacting any school. Examples:
  • Social media posts emphasizing development, film availability, or future goals
  • Following programs and vice versa on social media, liking their posts or attending games
  • Sharing updated highlights, training clips, or measurements publicly
  • Changing bios to include position, class year, height/weight, GPA, Hudl link
2. Responding to pre-existing relationships — without discussing transfer. If a player already knows coaches from other programs (e.g., from high school recruiting), they can maintain casual contact and discuss development, academics, life, or pro aspirations as long as they do not "discuss transferring" or "roster spots, NIL, or playing time". Conversation ≠ recruitment if it avoids explicit discussion of transfer intent.

3. Using neutral intermediaries for information, not advocacy. A player might ask a trainer, former coach, or mentor without directly contacting or passing messages to specific programs, who then might have a conversation with people within those programs:
  • Ask what types of programs might value their skill set
  • How do schools generally evaluate players like me
  • Ask what types of programs might value their skill set

This. I’m surprised people are still talking about tampering. Like, where on earth have you been the last couple years?

Like this past spring Wisconsin complaining about us tampering with one of their kids while at same time one of ours bolts to their school literally minutes after the portal window opens.
Granted, our coaches didn't want him, but that's besides the point.

Basically, it's like attempting to hook up with some married chick who is not happy with her relationship.
