Transfer portal watch thread!! (Versions 1.0 - 4.0 merged)

To be fair it’s a message board , these aren’t journalists.

Putting it in a paper with hundreds of thousands of eyes. Rumors and message boards go together like B Jackson and glory holes. Dude wrote a story that was all hearsay and rumors. That’s not journalism.

If he added his personal feelings to it they would’ve given him a raise at CNN for that smh

Yea obviously he has to tell them hes transferring, but BJ making it look like we are tampering is BS cause we didnt tamper. Hes an *******
A poster in the other BJ (pause) thread asked how this could be considered tampering if the article didnt say someone from the staff reached out to TS? He just alluded to general interest.. Is there a precedent for tampering in the NCAA? (poster asked that question too) If an article says that "Michigan source says they have interest in Trey Saunders from Alabama if he hits the portal" is that tampering according to NCAA rules?... I am just curious..

I don't know what the NCAA deems tampering but anytime someone within the program (even if unnammed) and a player on another team's name is mentioned in the same sentence, it's a bad look. NCAA wouldn't be in the wrong to start asking questions.
 
This. At some point UGA coaches were gonna get wind that he wanted to transfer back home, whether it was today or tomorrow or Friday. He wasn't just going to be able to transfer without them being aware. And from what's been said, it sounds like the coaches were told by his camp today. The issue is Barry insinuating that the UM coaches had reached out, when they haven't at any point

Yeah but sometimes when you wanna break up with someone you dont want them to catch wind your gonna do it.

Exactly. I couldn't find the NCAA definition of tampering but The NFL defines tampering as “Any public or private statement of interest, qualified or unqualified, in another club’s player to that player’s agent or representative, or to a member of the news media.’’ and an official memo from the NCAA VP of Enforcement dated 2017 stated in relevant part the below:

"True tampering violations occur when a coach attempts to "poach" a student-athlete from another four-year institution. Although this may occur with increasing frequency, the enforcement staff does not receive information of this nature regularly."

"Moving forward, the enforcement staff will continue to treat tampering scenarios as serious violations. For example, if we receive information that an institution maintains a "whiteboard" (traditional or virtual) of potential graduate or undergraduate transfers, and reaches out to those individuals, we will investigate aggressively"

"Similarly, we will be very interested in facts suggesting that a program is impermissibly engaging with a third party to discuss the possible transfer of a student-athlete"

"Not all instances of perceived tampering are true tampering. In fact, more frequently, the enforcement staff receives information about less significant impermissible contact violations... In most cases, the student-athlete has a pre-existing relationship with the coach and reaches out unprompted. Incidentally, this can create an awkward situation for a coach who is mindful of NCAA rules and who makes a good-faith effort to terminate the conversation"
