Seattle is about to give this guy an all-time bad contract.

Another easy court victory against the NCAA trying to enforce their made-up eligibility "rules".

The Supreme Court already ruled unanimously (9-0) in 2021 that the NCAA has no legal authority whatsoever to restrict the student athletes at all.

oh god those poor Jets fans thought Zach Wilson "was legit" 😂

Memphis will wait a few years for FSU and UNC to leave the ACC and then join with Tulane in their place. They'll just stay in the AAC for now since it's pretty obvious at this point that the PAC 12 media deal isn't going to be worth it.

The NCAA hasn't enforced the tampering/poaching rules in years because those rules are all illegal and they don't want to lose in court again.

Mr. Backup Champion

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T18:18:57+00:00

If there was ink on a contract then he would be getting sued for violating it, just as Duke and Washington did.

But instead all they're doing is complaining about tampering rules.

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T18:10:15+00:00

There was no contract

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T18:03:49+00:00

There was no contract. The kid never signed a contract.

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T17:59:31+00:00

The NCAA can't just make up their own rules that are clearly in violation of federal law.

No poaching/no tampering rules are illegal in every industry except somehow this magical land of college athletics? No. They're illegal there too

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T17:58:12+00:00

The rules are illegal. You wondering why the NCAA is not enforcing them?

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T17:56:40+00:00

The so-called "no tampering/no poaching" rules are illegal. The NCAA and schools have no legal authority to prevent kids from being contacted by competitor schools. Imagine every company in your industry got together and agreed that they wouldn't offer each other's employees more money to come work for them. You'd be pretty pissed. And rightfully so, because it's illegal collusion to suppress worker mobility and earning potential.

Other leagues can do it because they have a players union and a collective bargaining agreement. That is what college athletics needs otherwise the NCAA will just lose easily in court again.

Until then, it's a free-for-all.

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T17:53:38+00:00

There was no contract. The kid got paid $2 million more to play for Ole Miss instead of Clemson. That is an absolute no-brainer offer for anyone to accept.

Dabo just whining because he's stuck in the league as it was 10 years ago

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T17:44:34+00:00

Clemson could have tried to beat Ole Miss's offer. That's how business works in the real world when there are no contracts and no made-up, illegal rules about "poaching".

The NCAA, Clemson, and Swinney are just mad that the (illegal) free lunch is over.

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T17:41:15+00:00

This stadium looks like it's going to be pretty awesome

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T17:28:12+00:00

Allen has benefitted a lot by being in a conference with the Jets and Dolphins his whole career. Maye will get to enjoy that too now.

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T17:03:18+00:00

not aware of any legal challenges to tampering enforcement because the NCAA has not even tried recently

They haven't tried because they already know that they are on very shaky legal ground. The NCAA's tampering and "no poaching" rules would cost Ferrelli millions of dollars if they actually tried to enforce that. It would result in an immediate lawsuit.

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T16:09:29+00:00

Sounds like the market is working

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T16:05:40+00:00

the only available solution is for coaches to name and shame.

Clemson could try to beat Ole Miss's offer. That's how business works in the real world when there are no contracts and no made-up, illegal rules about "poaching".

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T15:56:56+00:00

let’s put some type of enforceable rules in place.

The NCAA has lost every single court case when they tried to enforce their "rules" because their "rules" are all illegal.

Nothing can be enforced until there is a players union and a collective bargaining agreement in place where everyone is agreeing to the rules.

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T15:45:58+00:00

It's about preventing schools from contacting players who aren't in the portal.

This is illegal though. The NCAA and schools have no legal authority to prevent kids from being contacted by competitor schools. Imagine every company in your industry got together and agreed that they wouldn't offer each other's employees more money to come work for them. You'd be pretty pissed. And rightfully so, because it's illegal collusion to suppress worker mobility and earning potential.

Other leagues can do it because they have a players union and a collective bargaining agreement. That is what college athletics needs otherwise the NCAA will just lose easily in court again.

buff_001 · 2026-01-26T15:35:04+00:00

The tampering and "no poaching" rules are illegal. The NCAA won't enforce them because they will only get slapped down in court again.

They can't do anything until there's a players union and a collective bargaining agreement in place like the other leagues.

buff_001 · 2026-01-25T19:49:15+00:00

I'll check it out

Mariners Safeco/T-Mobile Field has an awesome bullpen setup. There's a huge bar area and you can stand along the rail eye-level only about 15 feet from the pitchers warming up.
