Pitt Jordan Addison enters portal

I don't even care if he comes here, but Pitt losing their best remaining player certainly has to help out chances. Slovis has only been mediocre after his freshman year, and now won't have his number 1 target.
Yeah the easier that game is the better.

I don't like the idea of tampering being acceptable. NIL deals shouldn't be made before a kid even enters the portal. Nothing good will come of this. I'm not against NIL, just players being courted when they're on another team.

Is it an actual violation?

No clue, but it should be. If a kid isn't in the portal, coaches or representatives of other teams should not be talking to them. If they are in the portal, then they're fair game.
NIL rules seem to be 'fuzzy' and poorly-defined right now. It's a system that can work but they need to clean it up ASAP.

Since the NIL isn't offered by the school and players are not under contract, there is no reason a business can't hire them to represent their car dealership or whatever garbage they are saying. There is no restrictions on a business offering someone that isn't involved with intellectual property from hiring someone to work for them. I don't think there is a way to violate any rules anymore.

Athletics should just be removed from the schools at this point.

Slovis might not even start.

The story doesn’t end there as the Pitt football program believes that the USC coaches illegally tampered with Addison, while he has not yet in the transfer portal. PSN has been told to expect Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi to make a public statement that will target USC’s alleged tampering with his best player. Sources also tell Pittsburgh Sports Now that new USC head coach Lincoln Riley is believed to have used the same questionable tactics to lure Oklahoma freshman quarterback Caleb Williams from Oklahoma to USC.

While this isn’t official, the word is that USC is offering Addison a NIL deal north of $2 million to head to Southern California. PSN is also told that this isn’t the first time a program has offered Addison a large sum of money. Following the season, it’s believed that Kentucky offered the Biletnikoff winner $800,000 to go to Lexington and he turned them down.

Is everybody glossing over that allegation that Saint Mark Stoops tampered as well?

Essentially free agency now I’ll be sweating bullets every off-season one of our players don’t transfer for a nil deal

Just one more day to sweat it out. I dont see no one who will be a contributor leaving though.

So $2mm for a wr that will be there 1 year and not bring anyone with him is ok.

$2mm a year for a top QB that is bringing potentially loads of talent with him for 3-4 years Is tOo MuCh mOneY.

Yes. You're not allowed to contact a player until they have given permission by entering their name into the database.
Loophole... People you know can talk to people he knows... You know...

"If you went into the portal, I'd bet a million dollars they'd take you. You know... A million dollars. I'd bet a million dollars on you.

...

Going there.

Watch USC get on some type of probation again and Riley head off to the NFL like Pete Carroll did.
A lot of teams are getting these accusations, even Barnes got some heat. And I have zero doubt we're doing similar in football.

But it all comes back to plausible deniability. It's like the godfather, the contact is never direct and there's always layers of people passing the word along.

Good let USC get in trouble for it so he doesn't go there and he can come here instead
Nah.

I'm sick of programs "getting in trouble "
I want to see a strong USC, Tennessee, Miami, and other storied programs.

As a matter of fact I don't want any teams or players getting in trouble.
