Really? No teeth? My son got caught up in a misunderstanding back in 2016 that prevented him from practicing for over a month (fortunately partly during Xmas break) because of purported non-compliance with an NCAA regulation against his identifying himself as a lax player at his school in making an introduction to other coaches at the school... with no compensation involved...he was found totally blameless and in compliance, but even a question had real 'teeth' in repercussions. NIL now obviates that particular issue, but schools want very much to remain in compliance with the NCAA. They certainly don't want to violate for a non-revenue sport!

If it's as rampant as you suggest, I'd warn anyone doing so to hope like heck they're not the one who gets caught and made an example of...

It's one thing for someone to say 'Joey has an extra year of eligibility (a fact) and may want to use it somewhere closer to home or at a more competitive program...' and the response is, 'yeah, Joey would get a lot of interest', (that exchange itself would be a violation), but if someone then discusses with a coach what the 'deal' would be, say scholarship money, etc...you betcha that heads would roll over that.

And why risk it?
That's what the portal allows to happen without a problem.
I think that a lot has to do with the school more so than the NCAA particularly when a "potential" rule violation is being investigated, school A might have an over abundance of caution and make the kid sit while another school may let the kid practice while investigation is going on.

As to the other point, anybody that thinks that contact is not being made prior to a kid entering the portal also believes that no college lacrosse player gambles college lacrosse including his own teams games. players talk to players and recruit them, I would imagine with someone on the coaching staffs knowledge, Ie: team A needs a SSDM and a kid on team A played travel with a ssdm on team B, kid on team A asks his DC if they might be interested in his friend, the DC says hell yes and now the player on A texts the player on team B and says "yo, what's up? ever think about coming here?" ..... not sure any violations have occurred but there is a pretty good chance that the deal is done before the kid puts his name in the portal.
I'd not be surprised by that scenario either, and sure, there's a technical violation with that phone tag...but "deal is done" would imply that the athlete knows he'll be accepted academically, knows he can obtain the release academically, knows what scholarship is or isn't offered, etc...which would involve a lot more than saying 'yeah, we'd love to have that player' casually to a player on one's own team.

Yes, schools may well have varying degrees of being uptight about potential violations...some may want to avoid absolutely, not give any excuse for a scandal, whereas others may have seen so many violations they're inured to the petty ones...possible.

But my point is that schools don't want to put their reputations at risk, programs don't want to be sanctioned, coaches don't want to lose their jobs...and players shouldn't be willing to risk their own eligibility.


totally agree about schools being cautious but I will say that I have had two sons playing at two different schools with totally different attitudes, one school, even at a hint of a violation would sit the kid out until they did their internal investigation while the other coach/school took more of a let the kid continue to play and deal with it if and when it NCAA sanctions happens. also it is a huge difference as to what happens in the fall vs. the spring and what may involve forfeiting games etc.

Do you believe that schools and coaches have indirect contact with players before their junior year in HS?
People cheat on their taxes even though they know the ramifications
People cheat on their spouses even though they know the ramifications
no one would have ever believed a D1 college coach would gamble on a game that their team was playing in yet Alabama baseball coach (making over $200,000 a year) was fired for betting against his own team. hard to believe that the same coach might not have communicated with a kid not in the portal. As I have heard many coaches talk about faceoffs and the general rule is "If you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin' " and I truly believe that is the case with transfers.

On a similar subject - I think all coaches under contract (head coaches and assistant coaches) should have to go into a portal before they are allowed to talk to another school. let them see what it feels like to have everybody up in their business.

I won't debate the latter point.

I do think there's some "contact" with players through camps etc, but if a coach thinks he can discuss things like scholarships through an intermediary, he's playing with fire...and should be canned if caught.

Sure, some people cheat on their taxes, but the vast majority do not and would be offended by any presumption that they do. The IRS estimates about 15.5% are somehow not paying their taxes in full (intentionally or unintentionally), though way, way less than 1% are ever prosecuted. (Different topic thread!)

And, yup, about 20% of spouses cheat (about the same by gender)...4 of 5 do not...sex is a powerful drug. But most of us do not cheat despite those temptations.

Gambling is a heck of an addiction, too. More rare to see that violation, but not unheard of.

Faceoffs, yeah, I've heard that too...but there's a referee right there watching and judging whether you're violating, inadvertently or intentionally doesn't matter, with appropriate penalties levied.

Let's ask ourselves as parents, do we want our kid playing for a coach who knowingly violates NCAA 'tampering rules', cheats on his taxes, cheats on his wife, gambles on his games?

Or one of those who do none of that?

If the NCAA took at look at recruiting violations in lacrosse, most schools probably wouldn't be able to field a team if we are looking at the letter of the law. There is a certain school in Maryland that likes to have prominent alumni reach out to prospective recruits. Can the staff pretend they weren't aware this was happening? Sure. Some plausible deniability. But they know. This has been going on for some time and is in clear violation.

I don't think other coaches who are aware of this, which seem to be many, want to rock the boat, lest their boat gets rocked too.

It's the wild west out there. At some point, if the NCAA is to regain control of college sports, a lot is going to have to change. Football and basketball are all this on steroids and then some. Major, major tampering going on across the entire landscape especially revenue sports.

As I have heard many coaches talk about faceoffs and the general rule is "If you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin' " and I truly believe that is the case with transfers.

On a similar subject - I think all coaches under contract (head coaches and assistant coaches) should have to go into a portal before they are allowed to talk to another school. let them see what it feels like to have everybody up in their business.
This started with the super insider who knows nothing in reality that posited that the NCAA won’t and can’t do anything which is very different than accepting risk for skirting or violating rules because they can’t be hurt. Those are two very different concepts.

Do people cheat? Sure. That’s not what the original claim was though.

Really? No teeth? My son got caught up in a misunderstanding back in 2016 that prevented him from practicing for over a month (fortunately partly during Xmas break) because of purported non-compliance with an NCAA regulation against his identifying himself as a lax player at his school in making an introduction to other coaches at the school... with no compensation involved...he was found totally blameless and in compliance, but even a question had real 'teeth' in repercussions. NIL now obviates that particular issue, but schools want very much to remain in compliance with the NCAA. They certainly don't want to violate for a non-revenue sport!

If it's as rampant as you suggest, I'd warn anyone doing so to hope like heck they're not the one who gets caught and made an example of...

It's one thing for someone to say 'Joey has an extra year of eligibility (a fact) and may want to use it somewhere closer to home or at a more competitive program...' and the response is, 'yeah, Joey would get a lot of interest', (that exchange itself would be a violation), but if someone then discusses with a coach what the 'deal' would be, say scholarship money, etc...you betcha that heads would roll over that.

And why risk it?
That's what the portal allows to happen without a problem.
I think that a lot has to do with the school more so than the NCAA particularly when a "potential" rule violation is being investigated, school A might have an over abundance of caution and make the kid sit while another school may let the kid practice while investigation is going on.

As to the other point, anybody that thinks that contact is not being made prior to a kid entering the portal also believes that no college lacrosse player gambles college lacrosse including his own teams games. players talk to players and recruit them, I would imagine with someone on the coaching staffs knowledge, Ie: team A needs a SSDM and a kid on team A played travel with a ssdm on team B, kid on team A asks his DC if they might be interested in his friend, the DC says hell yes and now the player on A texts the player on team B and says "yo, what's up? ever think about coming here?" ..... not sure any violations have occurred but there is a pretty good chance that the deal is done before the kid puts his name in the portal.
I'd not be surprised by that scenario either, and sure, there's a technical violation with that phone tag...but "deal is done" would imply that the athlete knows he'll be accepted academically, knows he can obtain the release academically, knows what scholarship is or isn't offered, etc...which would involve a lot more than saying 'yeah, we'd love to have that player' casually to a player on one's own team.

Yes, schools may well have varying degrees of being uptight about potential violations...some may want to avoid absolutely, not give any excuse for a scandal, whereas others may have seen so many violations they're inured to the petty ones...possible.

But my point is that schools don't want to put their reputations at risk, programs don't want to be sanctioned, coaches don't want to lose their jobs...and players shouldn't be willing to risk their own eligibility.


totally agree about schools being cautious but I will say that I have had two sons playing at two different schools with totally different attitudes, one school, even at a hint of a violation would sit the kid out until they did their internal investigation while the other coach/school took more of a let the kid continue to play and deal with it if and when it NCAA sanctions happens. also it is a huge difference as to what happens in the fall vs. the spring and what may involve forfeiting games etc.
yup, schools and coaches may well differ....but the idea of willfully violating rules by numerous coaches seems like a stretch when there are other ways to do it.
Do you believe that schools and coaches have indirect contact with players before their junior year in HS?

I won't debate the latter point.

I do think there's some "contact" with players through camps etc, but if a coach thinks he can discuss things like scholarships through an intermediary, he's playing with fire...and should be canned if caught.

Sure, some people cheat on their taxes, but the vast majority do not and would be offended by any presumption that they do. The IRS estimates about 15.5% are somehow not paying their taxes in full (intentionally or unintentionally), though way, way less than 1% are ever prosecuted. (Different topic thread!)

And, yup, about 20% of spouses cheat (about the same by gender)...4 of 5 do not...sex is a powerful drug. But most of us do not cheat despite those temptations.

Gambling is a heck of an addiction, too. More rare to see that violation, but not unheard of.

Faceoffs, yeah, I've heard that too...but there's a referee right there watching and judging whether you're violating, inadvertently or intentionally doesn't matter, with appropriate penalties levied.

Let's ask ourselves as parents, do we want our kid playing for a coach who knowingly violates NCAA 'tampering rules', cheats on his taxes, cheats on his wife, gambles on his games?

Or one of those who do none of that?
“Uggh it’s big time sports just like FBS and a business you don’t understand…”

(I’m generally in agreement and it’s also a sign of big picture strategic intelligence to consider the risk/reward of various components of cheating though a little breaking the law is ok see this - https://youtu.be/vBO6zO4bUpQ

My point in another thread about the transfers. How would you like to be a 2020 recruit at Cuse and have worked your ass off for three years. Next year you are a senior and they bring in two middies from Princeton to take your spot. 2020 and 2021 classes got screwed by the 5th year COVID situation.
