Here's a timeline of what the Matador Club has done

Head Coach Gerry Glasco: "They came in my office last year in January, the legal team and the compliance team, and told me how they were going to do this and how they wanted to be in a position to win the national championship this year with NiJa Canady in her senior year," Glasco said. "That wasn't (the) coaching staff, that wasn't the athletic director, that's the compliance and The Matador Club and the booster club." And then they took advantage of a loophole..."NCAA rules prevent head coaches from recruiting players actively on opponents’ rosters, but there aren’t rules in place to prevent a third party from approaching those players....The Matador Club reportedly offered several players six-figure NIL deals while they were still playing for other programs. None of them had entered the transfer portal, and when they did, some of them had do-not-contact tags." I suppose it's the new world order, but I absolutely HATE it.

The big one is Texas Tech - 100% of their players get 5-figure NIL deals

Well, see the courts. Tough to enforce any regs when you're losing . . .

I don't like it but no one's being forced to transfer. They are choices . .
