#1 reason Dabo has no success using the portal to recruit.

Most of the top players who enter the portal already know which school they are transferring to before they enter the portal. Yet, the rules forbid contact between a school and another team's players.
Numbers 23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out.
Dabo is a Christian and can't get away with violating a rule and he, like I, learned this the hard way.
These players who command such a high price have already broken the rules buy negotiating that price before they declared for the portal. Dabo just isn't going to get involved with them and he probably is like many of us who refuse to swim in a cesspool.

I hear ya, but there are a lot of Christians having a lot of success in the portal.
Are you telling me that them folks are not real Christians, i.e. they don’t follow the rules like Dabo does?

No, I'm not saying that and I'm not saying that anyone, including Dabo,...

lives a sinless life.
I'm just saying that Dabo is a mature Christian who knows that we reap what we sow. Don't plant corn and expect to be picking tomatoes and there's no need to pray that the Sun won't shine or the rain won't fall. There is always a harvest for doing wrong and we're seeing some of the fruit of Dabo doing it right.
He, we, waited patently for our QB and have one who is one of the best in the land.
Some live in a world where they believe money solves all problems. Dabo is proving that untrue.

No one believes that a out money.
If you're going to try to stake out the moral high ground on this, you need to check your topo map.

One immediate consequence for a Christian who cheats is compromised integrity.... Another long term consequence is untrustworthiness in business and personal relationships.... I refer you to the tragic relationship between King David and his favorite son Absalom found in 2nd Samuel Chapters 11-19....

What about non Christians that cheat?
Do they suffer the same consequences?

Breaking the rules doesn’t make you not a Christian, just a disobedient one.
What are the names of the ones breaking the rules that you referenced?

Anyone who is keeping up knows Dabo, what he's made of and what he believes. He isn't shy to say.

I will stay away from your whole Christian won't break the rules thing, but I will respond on the whole tampering thing. Untill some governing body with a backbone comes down hard on a blue blood team for tampering, this will continue. Now with the shorter transfer window watch the tampering go wild. It will be difficult for most schools to keep their elite players. Offer a 19 year old that kind of money, I don't blame them for transferring. Can't hate or be upset with the player, be upset with the system.

refuses to do it. There may well be more than just 'rules violations,' going on in Dabo's mind. He probably has half a dozen reasons for not trashing our team up with divas who hold themselves in high esteem.

Nice way to point to the extremes. Now do Georgia, Texas, Ohio state, Alabama. Some of y’all always want to point to the extreme and that’s just not the place Clemson is in. Getting a DE or two by any means necessary won’t hurt a thing. I guess you believe the power rangers stayed on their own accord lol.

If Dabo sees a kid who fits with Clemson's culture, fills the needs of our team and hasn't already negotiated with another team against the rules he'd probably invite him to visit Clemson.
We got a couple of guys who fit that bill.

It is trivial to get around this "rule" by using intermediaries so it will never be enforceable. It is basically what sports agents do every day. I admire Dabo for his principled stand, though. Taking the high road is not always fun and rarely is it the shortest path to success.

I don't think there's any doubt that few, if any, players are gonna walk away from whatever current NIL deal they have with their team just to hopefully get a better deal elsewhere. I'd guess that never happens. If you're walking away, it isn't for some unknown hopefully better situation elsewhere, its because you've already got it lined up and agreed upon. Christian or not that's a clear rule violation and should not be allowed. Can't really get upset at Dabo for not getting involved with all of that.

coming from those top shelf players gives them power over their bosses. Some of those top guys might be making more than the position coaches that are suppose to be teaching them to play.
That's a recipe for disaster waiting for the oven.

We need to keep in mind that this problem wasn’t created ny the NCAA or any other governing body except the court system and adults using student athletes to pad their own pockets. I don’t believe anyone will come along with the power to regulate it. This is only going to get worse. Remember money and greed have taken down some great businesses.

One rule instituted would solve it. Open all negotiations to public access. Since it's dealing with public/federal funded colleges that should be fairly simple.

Yeah, sorry, but NCAA rules on tampering have nothing to do with being a Christian. Tampering isn't "immoral", it's breaking a rule. Some rules/laws are immoral, but most aren't. Murder is immoral. Not wearing a seat belt isnt immoral.
His Christian faith has zero to do with it.

There needs to be a governing body. College football might as well give up on the NCAA and go to NFL rules. The rules now allow for $20 million for players. How will any program, that's not a huge blue blood program, be able to compete with that? How will we be able to compete with that? Look at DJU. Coming out of high school, most of us, if not all, thought he was going to be another home run for the program. If we had given him $20 million, banking on him for another championship, where would we be now? There are lots of colleges who can't, and won't, compete. You'll end up with 5% of programs that have 95% of the best talent. Part of the beauty of college football is 1. Rivalries and 2. games like vandy vs bammer. Portal is out of control. For college football to survive, there needs to be a level playing field.

The NCAA rules against it are illegal.

Under federal law.
Doesn't make compliance with the rules anti Christian?
The NCAA engaged in illegal restraint of trade for decades. Now they can't.
