I am unaware of an actual prohibition on “tampering” in the Big 10 or other college conferences but would be interested to hear otherwise. I expect that contact with other team’s players by another team, to encourage a transfer, is considered unethical in a general sense, but not strictly illegal or in violation of specific conference rules. And contact by a booster for another team (for an NIL deal) is now basically fair game because the booster isn’t governed by conference rules. By comparison the NFL, NBA and other pro leagues have rules in place that prohibit tampering by other teams within the league. Also, since pro players have contracts it is potentially illegal for anyone to encourage a player to break that contract (I.e., tortious interference with contractual relations).

Missed your post…. My bad

Sorta reminds me of what New Mexico State did to NU back in 1993.

Going back to Norm’s original post, I was a student at the game when Fort lost his contact lens. NU had a skinny backup center, Ron Taylor, at the time. He seemed like good guy so some buddies and I started a Ron Taylor fan club (unbeknownst to him). We would holler at Cip to give the guy more playing time. Good times. My first games were with my Dad hauling us down to the old coliseum where I saw Stu Lantz, Chalk (beating KU), Scantlebury, Jura, Gratopp, et al. One opponent in particular caught my eye - Cliff Meely (CU). That guy could fill it up.
