Coach Prime called out publicly for tampering
Apparently Marshall's head coach called out Sanders for directly contacting a player that transferred to Marshall and was already on campus.
I not sure if I'm more surprised that Huff actually named Deion explicitly, or that Deion was dumb enough to apparently contact the player himself and not through some third party. Tampering is definitely rampant throughout CFB but, until now, I don't know of any coaches that have been willing to name names. UTSA's coach almost went scorched Earth in December, but then apparently backed away (article here).
Personally, I have mixed feelings about all of this. I'm glad that the portal exists so that players know they have options to transfer for more playing time and/or improve their draft stock by showing they can hang against tougher competition. And it's probably a good idea to know there is some interest before putting your name in for a transfer. At the same time, I feel bad for coaches at the lower levels that identify talent and do all the work to develop them only to have them poached away by a bigger program.
Anyway, two questions for y'all:
1. How long before coaches get fed up and really start naming names?
2. What are the chances that Coach Prime faces any punishment from the NCAA for this? Good thing he didn't buy the player a cheeseburger or else he'd be in really deep shit.

if nothing came of the Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban tiff then nothing will come of this either.
the NCAA doesn't want to get in the middle of this but would rather go all Sherlock Holmes for cheeseburgers.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:16 AM ^
They already put the Hardy Boys on the case
January 12th, 2023 at 4:17 PM ^
Unless you give your committed recruits hamburgers.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:07 AM ^
Unless he’s buying sandwiches, he’ll be fine.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:11 AM ^
Standing ovation. I was going to say the same thing.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:14 AM ^
But I'd still be hesitant to provide cream cheese when passing out bagels.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:12 PM ^
SEC says fuck it and goes full blown lox and cream cheese.
January 12th, 2023 at 12:03 PM ^
Is a hamburger a sandwich?
January 12th, 2023 at 12:13 PM ^
This is exactly the type of hard-hitting question we should be investigating. I propose we form a committee for precisely this purpose.
As a starting point, I propose defining a sandwich as any food in which a topping, either sweet or savory, is placed on top of one slice of bread (open-faced) or between two slices of bread (close-faced). By that definition, a hamburger is definitely a sandwich.
January 12th, 2023 at 12:28 PM ^
A hot dog is a sandwich, then.
January 12th, 2023 at 12:35 PM ^
This is objectively wrong - a hot dog is not a sandwich. I will not accept arguments otherwise.
January 13th, 2023 at 8:39 AM ^
If it on a bun it is ...
January 12th, 2023 at 12:36 PM ^
Depends on how a slice of bread is defined.
If the slice has to come from a loaf, a hot dog bun would not be considered a slice of bread.
Therefore, a hot dog would not be a sandwich.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:09 PM ^
What if you are out of buns and use a slice of bread?
January 12th, 2023 at 1:35 PM ^
If the slice has to come from a loaf, a hot dog bun would not be considered a slice of bread.
Therefore, a hot dog would not be a sandwich.
Wouldn't the extension of your argue mean a submarine is not a sandwich? I argue that a hot dog isn't a sandwich but it needs to be defined in a way that allows a submarine to be a sandwich.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:16 PM ^
Sir according to the cube Rule a hot dog is a taco.
January 12th, 2023 at 2:11 PM ^
So Pizza is toast then.
January 12th, 2023 at 2:24 PM ^
Right. and PSU is not in any trouble because they were tossing calzones in the tunnel.
January 12th, 2023 at 2:27 PM ^
Unless it a deep dish, then there’s an argument for soup/salad out of a bread bowl.
January 12th, 2023 at 2:37 PM ^
So many sushis! Enchiladas, cannolis...
I was today years old when I learned a burrito is a Mexican calzone.
January 12th, 2023 at 3:46 PM ^
Pizza can be a taco and a sandwich
January 12th, 2023 at 4:28 PM ^
So.......
French Toast is a sandwich.
January 12th, 2023 at 2:36 PM ^
They are sold as ‘hamburger sandwiches’ in some parts of the country, e.g. rural New England.
January 12th, 2023 at 4:29 PM ^
Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie.
January 12th, 2023 at 4:49 PM ^
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:12 AM ^
1. 4-6 weeks
2. zero percent
January 12th, 2023 at 11:14 AM ^
Burn it all down
January 12th, 2023 at 11:15 AM ^

I thought the Pitt coach kind of called out the USC coach last year when Pitt's receiver transferred to USC.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:18 AM ^
Rather than explicitly naming names, he spoke in uncoded code.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:17 AM ^
1) Nobody at a high level program will name names, because they don't want to be named.
2) No chance whatsoever that Prime will be 'punished'. Unless you call a side-eye glance punishment.
I'm kinda glad he got called out, though, and I wish more names would be mentioned. But I do believe it will remain almost as silent as the bag men have remained lo these many years...

colorado school of mines is about to get the death penalty over this

new jersey barber college is in big, big trouble.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:32 AM ^
Fun fact - the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey ceased to exist in 2013. Damn you, NCAA and UNC, Kansas, and other blue-bloods (probably).
January 12th, 2023 at 1:56 PM ^
I worked with an anesthesiologist who went there. For credentialing he said it was a nightmare because they were supposed to keep records of degrees for credentials. They didn't.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:24 AM ^
The NCAA's pissed. The next time they hear Michigan's tampering with someone else's player, believe me, they're going to do something about it!
January 12th, 2023 at 1:28 PM ^
And then immediately declare that it will be legal from that point on.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:40 PM ^
A letter of reprimand on their permanent record
January 12th, 2023 at 11:25 AM ^
Someone did something against the rules in CFB...get ready for the NCAA to drop the hammer on Michigan and Harbaugh!
January 12th, 2023 at 11:26 AM ^
NCAA doesn't want to touch Deion over this. Famous, young black coach who made HBCU's relevant again and will go scorched earth is not who you want to mess with.
January 12th, 2023 at 12:01 PM ^
A leader of a organization having the stones to speak up you say?
January 12th, 2023 at 12:07 PM ^
You think that people are less likely to punish someone because they're Black?
What possible evidence could lead you to believe this?
January 12th, 2023 at 12:17 PM ^
I get where you're coming from, but I don't think that's the point he was trying to make here. Might be best to avoid this topic altogether.
January 13th, 2023 at 10:43 AM ^
What a privileged life we lead.
January 12th, 2023 at 1:17 PM ^
Deion is hardly a young coach at age 56 by next season.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:30 AM ^
Good - keep calling out the NCAA like this. It adds more fuel to the fire for when UM hires a third party legal consultant.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:33 AM ^
I'm pretty close to Marshall and I can tell you Huff doesn't give a shit about calling people out. Huntington loves this guy even though he won't be there for long. He handles things on and off the field the right way
January 12th, 2023 at 11:34 AM ^
It was beautiful the way he handled Notre Dame on the field this year.
January 12th, 2023 at 11:41 AM ^
How does he feel about Sherrone Moore as our next coach?
