Irrelevant. Minnesota paid him for his time while he was here said:
I wouldn't say it is irrelevant. I view it in a similar strain as intellectual capital. When you are in grad school, any patents/ideas/products you develop while at the school with school resources (payroll/lab equipment/materials) are the property of the school. You sign a legal document to ensure this.
In college football, you don't sign one of these documents. I don't think that means ethics are out the window. I don't care if Roof spent a lot of time building a relationship with Eguae...he was doing that on the U's dime and he was compensated for it. I think it is morally questionable to then use your influence to manipulate the kid towards signing with your new school. Not against the rules, by any means, but morally questionable.
