Yep, NIL provides the cover for blatant pay for play deals and makes it really hard to enforce. Shame to see the system abused this way but not surprising to see it happen in any way shape or form.

Absolutely. Ole Miss, the player, his agent.....they are all scumbags in how this was handled. Hopefully a school like Clemson going on record calling out the tampering will encourage more to do the same.

I mean it was predictable as hell that the big money sports were going to bastardize the system as soon as it was put in place.

Have said before and will say again NIL as intended is a great thing for college athletes. What has been called NIL in basketball and football is something entirely different and has led to these ridiculous situations.

NCAA is going to have to find some way to enforce the tampering rules. Won't be easy unless teams/players/agents are willing to turn over the proof the way Clemson is doing in this case with Ole Miss. The amount of tampering going on has to be just off the charts. I am sure there are lots of...

Just watched it myself....and holy crap.....kudos to Dabo for going public with it. What a pathetic mess this has all turned into.

Well Golding saw the master of busting the rules at work for multiple years so I am sure he picked up a trick or two. Glad more and more coaches are calling out some of the BS. Only possible way it will ever get brought under control.

Could help the NCAA in winning this particular battle. If this kid is declared eligible it would open a massive floodgate where failed pros try to come back.

Cub would seem like a fairly obvious option given that they seem to be pretty tied into things on the NIL front right now.

I would put Daniels in the Damn category as well. We really could have used him this year. But yeah, overall we have gained far more from the portal then we have lost.

Good to have confirmation of what we all anticipated. Looks like we are riding with the guys we have for the rest of the year, hopefully they can all stay healthy. Will be interesting to see what happens with the injured guys moving forward

Not sure I agree with that. He would definitely be among the first QBs off the board and would have gone ahead of Moore but based on play this year Mendoza would likely have still been the #1 QB prospect in the draft.

"Experts" make a lot of pre-season determinations about players and teams. A vast majority of those determinations end up being very wrong.

I'm sure there are bidding wars and recruits playing schools against each other but I would also think that once you get beyond the top rated recruits their leverage drops really quickly. Coaches aren't going to rush to throw a bunch of money at a high school prospect that might not pan out or...

Maybe he can suit up for the basketball team. Seems to be anything goes over there in terms of eligibility right now.
