Dabo firing back at tampering

[djorange1989]

No this is crap. He wanted to be here when he signed and committed to Syracuse he only didn't want to be here when he was tampered with and got a better offer

Yeah he was tampered with by SC for sure, no idea if scumbag Golding was tampering as well.

This is an excellent article for those who have access. All the details. Dabo filed a complaint with the NCAA immediately.

Clemson’s Dabo Swinney accuses Ole Miss of ‘blatant tampering’ with transfer Luke Ferrelli

Swinney’s rant was rare in that he openly accused another coach, publicly and by name, of tampering with his players.

As a former car salesman some of these takes are a little funny. Like, nobody cares about their word or a contract anymore. Yet that’s exactly how a lot of people go about buying their cars. Playing one dealer against another, committing to buying a vehicle than calling right before delivery and saying you got a better deal. And on and on and on.

I know it’s different…… because it’s a college player doing it.

No. That's the same as what players do before signing with a school, and they should. This situation is like going to the dealer, signing all the paperwork for the car, taking it home, driving it for a week, and then thinking they can return it because another dealer gave them a better deal.

Good to know. I didn't know that. I just tried it on another browser where I hadn't logged into my NYT account. Thanks!

Think your analogy holds up better for the verbal commit situation rather than once a contract is in place. That’s been unsavory but part of the game. Now we’re into taking players off an active roster and that’s much worse IMO.

Oh, I don’t disagree at all. Thought the parallel was a little funny given this was every day at work for me, for 10 years. And I realize there is a difference.

In the NFL, once a player is under contract with a team, other teams can’t contact that player. It’s considered tampering and the team doing it will suffer penalties.

Additionally, NFL contracts are legally enforceable, and players can’t simply want away from them.

The NCAA is on the clock here - if they want a pro compensation system, which is what they enabled, they better get this crap under control or the whole house of cards will collapse.

There is going to be an incredibly interesting documentary on this someday. I guarantee it.
