Bingo.

Tampering rules are simply a farce, theatrics intended to deceive CFB fans into thinking that the NCAA is trying to prevent big $$$ teams from ‘seducing’ players who had been fully content with their smaller $ program into switching (via $$$ and other considerations) via the portal to the big $$$ team.

Of course this process takes place, or is at least initiated, by entities other than coaches or administrators directly (“directly” is the operative adverb) contacting their target player at the smaller $ school.

Agents, buddies of the coaches at the big $$$ schools (ideally ‘buddies’ that already know the target player &/or the player’s family), or agents from the big $$$ school contacting their target player’s agent; these are just a few easy-to-think-of paths to skirt tampering rules.

Furthermore, there is ZERO that restrains a player from initiating contact with another team’s coaches.

It’s the same as the private sector when Company A is looking for professional level (experienced aka proven) talent from competitors. Employment agents (slang term for them is ‘head hunters’) do this for a living.

Just stop it with this virtue signaling ‘tampering us against the rules’ nonsense. CFB is a professional jobs market. The ‘rules’ should treat it as such.
