Dabo firing back at tampering

[FloridaCuse]

Can Clemson sue Ole Miss for tortious interfence with an existing contract and win? [I know, anyone can sue anyone.] This has been mentioned in the Duke-Mensah case re Miami but the direct evidence of tampering may not exist there as it does here. Will we end up with multiple universities suing other universities on similar tampering issues? When a revenue sharing or NIL contract has a buyout does that negate or mitigate any claim of tortious interfence? Anyone have any thoughts on these questions?

Is the only (and maybe easiest) solution for the NCAA to declare that any athlete who violates a signed contract by going to another school is ineligible to play? Would state course uphold that?

You guys need to know that SU is on top of this. It's a total cesspool and the government needs to step in.

kcsu what does "on top of this" mean? That they're ready to move (sue?) if a school pulled this with one of our signed players?

Hmmm. I have doubts whether Dabo-like press conferences will deter anything without actual consequences.

How does this even work? The kid is sitting in “physics for poets”class texting with Golding. Kid decides he’s leaving for Ole Miss, does he go in and talk to Dabo and let him know? Or did he just leave and text that the buyout check is in the mail from Ole Miss? Crazy. I just listened to Dabo’s run down of the events!
Unbelievable

I do agree that we need to get this under wraps but if the contract had a buyout clause and Ole Miss paid for it well despite it being sleazy not sure what they did wrong? Yes it’s tampering but not enforced, it’s a big joke and the buyout clause is there. This is like taking a new job and a better one comes along on your first day on the new job! Nothing to do with cheating on your wife on the honeymoon.

I will tell you the Physics for Poets midterm is no joke.

SU and many other schools are fed up and I 100% expect that Dabo has led the way for others to publicly call others out. Huge and important move by Dabo who I have always respected.

Same on the respect for Dabo, I generally root for them outside of Syracuse games. Also, I know people here wanted Fran to be a little more outspoken with our own situation, but I wonder if he knew this battle was coming (it sounded like a lot of talk was going on behind the scenes between coaches, commissioners, ADs, etc.) Dabo is a two time national champion and a head coach in the business for a decade and a half, it makes much more sense and may actually have better chance of leading to change with Dabo leading the charge.

Ole Miss and Golding are completely out of control. I would love to see them implode this season. Karma please do your thing

Probably, which means his agent is a dirtbag too. Reading the article on the Athletic, though, makes it sound like Golding texted the player and it paints a really bad picture of Golding, the two-faced agent, and, most surprising, the kid and his family. The player looks really bad here. These are the type of reputation and trust killing actions people will question about him going forward.

The agent is exactly the type of agent that gives agents a bad name.

Kudos to Dabo and his staff for keeping a tight timeline on all the communications and documenting them. This detailed transparency is exactly what was needed to expose the crooked underbelly of the portal.

Yeah and before the usual board posters who say coaches have been doing similar. Fans have called coaches out as well. Agree the player, players family, agent and Golding are all pos in this story.

the agent basically extorted Clemson -- told Dabo if they guaranteed a second year that they would turn in all the evidence on Ole Miss. Clemson took it all, went to the ACC and the SEC. They're just the only ones willing to turn in another school.

“Extortion? Come on now. Nothing wrong with a little quid pro quo.” - the agent, probably
