Tampering 101: After Dabo Swinney went after Ole Miss, I talked with more than a dozen GMs and agents about the current state of tampering in college football. "I hate to say it, but the rules are a suggestion at this point." espn.com/college-footba…

Here’s the @espn story with @max_olson on the Big Ten’s letter about overhauling and modernizing tampering rules. espn.com/college-sports…
Pete Thamel@PeteThamel

NEWS: The Big Ten has sent a letter to the NCAA “to insist” the NCAA “impose a moratorium on investigations and infractions proceedings” related to tampering. The letter lays out the need to “comprehensively reevaluate” rules, which were “designed for a world that no longer exists risks.”

Here’s our @espn story from earlier this week on how tampering really works in 2026. GMs and agents say pre-portal contact has become more “brash and blatant” (but absolutely vital) in the rev-share era: espn.com/college-footba…

Interesting move by the Big Ten. They're asking for new tampering rules that: - Determine “realistic, reasonable and enforceable” communication boundaries - Prioritize honoring/protecting rev-share contracts - Get timely, meaningful NCAA enforcement with fair penalties
