So the toothless NCAA...

[bulldawg28]

Bumphis didn't have to tell me. Lebby and the GAs were quite open about it. Wasn't some big secret. Wasn't like we were going to get punished for it. And what do you know.....we didn't.

Never did it ever happen. Coaches aren't that negligent

Every coach is that “negligent”. Because it is not negligence. It is the environment we live in.

We're $hitty AND we don't play by the rules. Great. Can't even be proud of at least being clean.

Why would we want to be clean. Jesus. No one plays by the rules these days. I want us to be dirtier than Ole Miss. If the Saudis want to give us 100 mil in blood money then let’s roll

Unpunished cheating will destroy what's left of college athletics and accelerate the destruction. It will be the proverbial straw that causes fans to find something else to do with their time and money.

I?ve already given up on college sports. A lawless system is not for me. I bet I didn?t watch 2 hours of college football this season.

Good God you’ve hit a new low. Peace out.

So you don’t want to win? That is what I am getting out of this. EVERYONE TAMPERS AND EVERYONE CHEATS. Stop trying to be holier than thou and just play the game. Thankfully we are doing exactly that.

Who cares if we’re tampering? When in Rome. This thread is like ugly women complaining about the hot chick in the cul-de-sac having fake tits. If you can afford ‘em, get ‘em.

What you describes us doing was what Dabo called "tampering 101." That's not in the same league as Ole Miss.

I want to win according to the rules - as they are enforced, not as they are on paper.

[confucius say]

I'm willing to bet a sizable amount that won't happen. Ratings are as high as they've ever been and interest in the sport is higher than ever. It may be what causes you to find something else to do with your time and money but not to everyone else.

Also, tampering is cheating. Do you want everyone who tampers to be punished. Because if so, we're going to get hammered for it.

Some of the playoff ratings were way down. The Mississippi vs Miami game was horrible. Nightmare for espn.

It has nothing to do with winning but with keeping one’s integrity and self worth as a human! Just because some or maybe even the majority may act like lemmings and walk/run off the cliff doesn’t mean we should follow the path to destruction! I still think that one day, the non blue blood university sports teams will withdraw from the current alignment and form a new true college league and the blue bloods can continue to be the minors for the “pro” leagues.

The current NIL/TRANSFER arrangement is not sustainable.

Sometimes I really enjoy a simple analogy. Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong but in this situation with Clemson to my understanding the player in question already had signed a FAA with Clemson and was attending class.

I know there is tampering and we do it- but there has to be a line somewhere. To my knowledge we haven't done anything like that where a guy in the portal goes somewhere else and signs a FAA and then MSU still recruits them and basically just throws money at them until the say no.

I think Dabo is basically saying "Hey, once a guy signs the FAA and is enrolled in classes the portal recruiting for that cycle needs to be over and stop at that point." Now, if Ole Miss wanted to keep recruiting the player and get him in the next portal cycle- that's different. They have to draw the line because otherwise the portal never ends.

They're getting into breach of contract issues here.
