Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)


NCAA tampering memo promises penalties for rule-breakers: How Dabo Swinney may have invoked change

Dabo Swinney's recent fiery comments seemingly lit a fire under the NCAA's enforcement branch​

Jon Duncan, the NCAA's vice president of enforcement, announced in a memo sent to NCAA schools that the Division I Board of Directors has informed its staff to "pursue significant penalties" against tampering offenders along with publicly identifying those found guilty of wrongdoing, according to Yahoo Sports.

Duncan wrote in the memo that the NCAA is working closely with Geoff Means, the chair of the Division I Board of Directors Infractions Process Committee, to quickly address violations.

"It is our sincerest hope that these potential policy and rules changes will better serve the new era of Division I while balancing fairness and efficiency to meet membership expectations," the memo said, according to the report.

Within the memo, the process includes "streamlining various stages of an investigation, collecting information from schools or student-athletes more quickly, conducting interviews on a shorter schedule and/or limiting extension requests often made by parties in infractions cases."

This heavy-handed announcement from the NCAA comes after Clemson coach Dabo Swinney accused Ole Miss and Pete Golding of tampering transfer portal signee Luke Ferrelli. Ferrelli re-entered the transfer portal and committed to Ole Miss after initially landing at Clemson.

"We have a broken system, and if there are no consequences for tampering, then we have no rules and we have no governance," Swinney said last month.

Within a screenshot of the memo posted on social media, Duncan identified tampering as falling under the label of "communications of any kind are not permitted with a student-athlete at another school -- or any other representatives of their interests, including agents -- before that student-athlete entered the NCAA transfer portal."

Just sayin': This will go nowhere. No guilty party (i.e. the school, the coach, the player, not the player's agent, etc.) will ever cooperate with the NCAA's investigation. The NCAA won't be able to prove anything.

BP Fantasy Baseball est. 2008 (Current Champion = Ahiacitian)

So far

4 yes to the 27 minimum ip

3 yes and 1 no to 8 team playoffs
I am definitely no to both. There needs to be some reward to finishing top 2 in the regular season. If you want to value SP more, minimum IP isn't it. Changing from K/9 to K's would do that in a heartbeat. I went through last year week by week. Not a single team had less than 27 IP in any week. So, it changes nothing. Changing the K/9 to K's would absolutely create the change you want.

Ohio State Wrestling (2015/2017/2018 B1G Champs, 2015 National Champs, 2019 National Runners-up)

Are the Bucks expected to have their complete lineup for B1Gs next weekend? Assuming by then Cannon would be back and the rest are hopefully good to go as well.
They're pretty hush hush on injuries, we probably will find out when the tourney starts.

If you could change the outcome of one Ohio State football game, which would you choose?

1998 MSU

Never have felt that kind of pain from football.

Don't give a fuck about Cooper or his legacy, he probably would have choked later but sweet Woody in heaven was that horrific.
Same. I was 10 years old, but that one just lasted for so long and just pisses me off to this day. My mom made my dad and I go to dinner after that, but we could barely say a word. That one hurt the worst, but 2007 Natty was awfully tough and might be it...I really thought we would cap off an iconic season the right way and I was done watching shortly after the 3rd quarter began.

2025-2026 Ohio State Men's Basketball

It's scoreboard watch time. Games of consequence tonight -

Updated bracketology Lunardi has us as the 1st team out

USC vs UCLA - probably want UCLA to win and knock USC even further down.; Lunardi has USC in the last 4 out with us and UCLA in the "last 4 byes"

TCU vs Arizona State - TCU is in the last 4 in. An Arizona State upset would be greatly helpful

New Mexico vs Nevada - Same situation as TCU, a Nevada win helps us.

Missouri vs Tennessee - Same as New Mexico/TCU. Tennessee is a ranked team, so a Missouri win strengthens their resume, need them to lose.

TCU and Mizzou win

Auburn and Indiana 2 other bubble teams did lose though. Our game vs Indiana is lining up to be an elimination type game

Rondale Moore died from a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound ... TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Chief Todd Bailey of the New Albany, IN Police Department tells TMZ Sports ... the 25-year-old was "found deceased in the garage of the property of a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound."

Bailey says the investigation remains ongoing and, due to its active status, no additional information will be released at this time.

If you could change the outcome of one Ohio State football game, which would you choose?

If you could change the outcome of one Ohio State football game in the Buckeyes' rich history, which game would you change the outcome and why?

1969 loss to Michigan? Which would have given Ohio State back-to-back national championships and mentioned as one of the greatest cfb teams ever?

2015 loss to Michigan State? Does that team go on to repeat as national champions?

1998 loss to Michigan State? Does that team go on to win the national championship and does Cooper get more credit?

2020 national championship game against Alabama?

2006 loss to Florida in the national championship game?

2007 loss to LSU for the national championship?

1976 Rose Bowl loss to UCLA that cost Woody a national championship?

1980 Rose Bowl loss to USC that cost Earle a national championship?

You get the idea, and there may be others that you would select. So which one game would you change the outcome?
1976 Rose Bowl loss to UCLA that cost Woody a national championship?

Besides costing the Buckeyes a National Championship, I was at that game.
