Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher: 'Utterly ridiculous' amount of tampering occurring in NCAA Transfer Portal
Tampering concerns are rampant in college football as teams continue to navigate the era of name, image and likeness (NIL) compensation for players. Texas A&M football head coach Jimbo Fisher didn't mince words Wednesday, claiming an "utterly ridiculous" amount of NIL-influenced tampering is occurring with offenders facing virtually zero ramifications.
"I knew eventually there would be pay-for-play, but I did not know it would be NIL like it came about," Fisher told reporters Wednesday during Texas A&Ms early signing period press conference. "The problem with all of it is that there is no consistency and rules. And then when you get into the (transfer portal), there is so much tampering going on. It is utterly ridiculous. It is a joke. It's an absolute joke. We are only in college football. I heard (UTSA coach Jeff Traylor) the other day say that everybody was robbing their players and taking their players. ... I mean this is not good for college football, as far as how it's done. I'm not saying being able to transfer is bad. I'm not saying paying players bad. But the current status of the rules and the way it's done and how it's done? It's ridiculous. It's here. Everybody has the same issues and same problems.

Summary of story: Jimbo is OK with aTm offering an "utterly ridiculous" amount of NIL money to HS to recruits to sign with aTm; however, is totally against other schools offering an "utterly ridiculous" amount of NIL money to former aTm players in the transfer portal.

I think the Big Guy is gonna get right on that as soon as he zaps Dabo for HIS comment.shouldn't he be struck by lightning to say that
I want to see a WWE cage match between Dabo and Jimbo fighting to see who can nail themselves to the cross better.
