re: If tampering wasn’t open, it surely now is from Texas Tech.

$5m a win won’t be a great ROI for them.

A majority of these kids have real deal sports agents. Tampering is part of that game. How else would you learn the market for your player? Someone has to ask the question. From there its game on.

That's great, they will still continue to go 6-6 or 7-5 because they are Texas Tech. No one is concerned with them.


So it's not about the Jimmy's and the Joe's?

Their portal haul was impressive and several of the poached schools are hollering "tampering".


Everyone who isn’t worried about NCAA sanctions is tampering like a MF, whether directly or through a booster who knows what the coach needs and is willing to do. That certainly includes the Top 30-40 revenue programs in the country. They were all paying players before it became “legal”. You think they aren’t “tampering” with athletes who aren’t in the portal?

Now who is going to manage the most out of kids getting paid pro salaries? We just going to figure they will just practice hard, study the playbook, and hit the classroom with great vigor since they stuck in Lubbock. No one is going to go act an arse with their money anywhere in Texas and drive 100 mph with hoes when they making more than their coaches.

Tampering can mean a lot of different things.

There are the feelers and soft conversations that 99% of places are doing.

And then there is what Texas Tech softball did.

They got one from Tennessee that was very fishy and Tennessee's coach immediately screamed "tampering"

I can guarantee Tennessee is “tampering” as well. Maybe not in softball, but they are tampering.

Baton Rouge kind of sucks, but you'd have to pay me $400k to live in Lubbock vs $100k in Baton Rouge.

Texas Tech much like A&M is trying so desperately to be relevant by throwing money at everything.

While money helps you still have to have the right coaches and history on your side. You’ll always be in Lubbock.
