He had a list of 5-6 power 5 schools listed as having contacted him, then the next day he’s taking a visit to Alabama who wasn’t even in the picture….. and the Bama beatwriters already had stories put together

Damn right there’s tampering going on, and I wouldn’t doubt that they had somebody at our spring game.

However, we aren’t the only victims. Like Dilfer said, it’s the Wild West in college football.

Key being from Tallahassee, I’m surprised I haven’t heard from a credible source about Florida state.

100% tampering going on, nobody gives a damn. We have Wichita State fans on the AAC board saying their NIL offer is more than KState will give and Texas likely won’t match. This is literally what NIL is not supposed to be and is pay for play, but here we are. I’m not calling out Wichita because they are far from the only school doing it, just pointing out rules are directly and blatantly being violated and nobody cares or has the ability to do anything.

The NCAA spent over 50 million in legal fees fighting NIL. They lost. The NCAA has spent millions lobbying congress about the NIL and nothing has happened. At some point you realize that you have done what you can do and stop throwing good money after bad.

This isn’t about NIL or not NIL, this is about what the NCAA explicitly spelled out in the NIL rules. You cannot pay for play, which is what is happening when you offer an NIl deal contingent upon attending a certain school. There just isn’t anybody out there with the ability to stop it now.
