Of course not, tampering clearly is going on through back channels. What's ironic is several staff members expressed their concern about Amos last year at the coach's crawfish boil. This past season was his first as a starter which would give other programs more video to evaluate. His parents assured the staff that Amos was here to stay.
Going forward, the athletes have stipends and NIL opportunities. I'm not entirely against it because it now presents a professional landscape in college football in player and coaches relationships. The athletes can leave for NIL opportunities and the coaches have the right to cut them from the program without paying them a dime.
I don't want to hear from parents that they were lied to by coaches and don't want to hear the term student athlete again.
