I do not doubt......

there was communications. As you say entering one day and gone the next it is hard not to think that. My question is what constitutes real tampering? It would seem to me coaches and/or boosters would be clear cut. However, what about other players or students who might be friends? Seems a lot like backchannel discussions with agents or other intermediaries might be slimy but, not necessarily tampering. NIL and immediate movement have made roster construction and management a whole new animal for some schools. One and done were a twist but, this is one and done on steroids. The winners will be the ones who figure out how to exploit the inefficiencies and imbalances, somewhat akin to Frank Beamer using strength and conditioning and special teams in the early days to create an advantage.

Kidd is out of our range.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/28/24 09:20 AM ET
Chris I saw he's asking $500K. Is that more than our entire team last year?**

I don't disagree with what GC/Chris have said, but another way...
Cvillehoops13 • 03/28/24 10:34 AM ET
I'm not sure I would have done the same thing either.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/28/24 10:12 AM ET
It’s like dating a 7 and dumping them waiting on a 9 to be wooed.
1980VT • 03/28/24 10:46 AM ET
Also, if Kidd ends up going to Miami as speculated today...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/28/24 09:44 AM ET

atlhokie1 • 03/28/24 12:41 PM ET

It really isn't even "NIL Agents" as much as players talking to coaches..

Vippie1 • 03/28/24 10:16 AM ET
Yes, I'm sure they are smart enough to do it in a legal manner.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/28/24 10:03 AM ET
I think......
2hhoop3 • 03/28/24 10:10 AM ET
Are there any tampering rules?**
BROman Hokie • 03/28/24 10:06 AM ET
Sure, technically.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 03/28/24 10:08 AM ET
I think it's already known because it was posted 2 or 3 weeks ago that he..
HokiePail • 03/28/24 09:56 AM ET

saret • 03/28/24 12:13 PM ET
We agree again, Nokie. **
VT One • 03/28/24 11:12 AM ET
I'll take an agreement wherever I can get it. :)**
NokieHokie • 03/28/24 11:56 AM ET
Tampering is standard now I would think...
HokiePail • 03/28/24 09:58 AM ET
If so, we need to turn Miami in to the NCAA
