Chadd does a good jb.
He is thorough. disclaimer: I did not read the comments, so others could be saying he is full of hogwash. But I like him, so there. Mlah to the naysayers on the Statesman.

Rec on Cripe
I like his work better than Murph (who is not bad) and they both are much better than the sports editor there. My opinion only… but they are the only two writers I read from that fishwrap.
I read a reference somewhere that Chad got his hand slapped for something and had to take a LOA… can anybody shed light on that? Or did I just mis-read the reference?
BB you showed great wisdom in not reading those comments. I always need to bathe in degreaser after reading the comments at the Statesman. Y’all here make me a better, less bitter/defensive fanboy.

i heard it was cost-cutting.

My QB has an AWARD named after him. How about yours?!

I guess
it is not a NCAA infraction in talking to agent while playing college football?

that's exactly what my thought was too.
either that or Cripe just unloaded a can of worms.
But i suppose just “talking” to an agent can’t be harmful? as long as they don’t talk shop?

I think agents can talk to players
Can’t quick remember which player it was (I wanna say Billy Winn) who had a grip of agents calling him. He asked them to stop calling so much so he could focus on his senior season. The ones who kept calling he eliminated from consideration.

I
remember that story.. that also raised my eyebrows thinking that didn’t sound right… but nothing came of it as he spurned there phone calls.. this was actual conversation with agent.. I guess you can talk, just can’t sign with them until after you declare.. but I would think that could invite some prying eyes with the NCAA.. unless you are on a SEC team.. than you can make it rain!!

Yeah.
they were contacting him, so how would that be a violation on his part? but i dunno. the rules are so convoluted it’s hard to keep track of what is ok and what isn’t.

It's not a violation...
Under NCAA Bylaw 12.3, a student-athlete (any individual who currently participates in or who may be eligible in the future to participate in intercollegiate sport) may not agree verbally or in writing to be represented by an athlete agent in the present or in the future for the purpose of marketing the student-athlete’s ability or reputation. If the student-athlete enters into such an agreement, the student-athlete is ineligible for intercollegiate competition.
Also, a student-athlete may not accept transportation or other benefits from an athlete agent. This prohibition applies to the student-athlete and his or her relatives or friends.
The term “agent” includes actual agents, runners (individuals who befriend student-athletes and frequently distribute impermissible benefits) and financial advisors.
It is not a violation of NCAA rules if a student-athlete merely talks to an agent (as long as an agreement for agent representation is not established) or socializes with an agent. For example, a student-athlete could go to dinner with an agent and no NCAA violations would result if the student-athlete provided his own transportation and paid for his meal.

so could the ATHLETE CALL an agent
and just talk about the possibility of being represented but, again, not agree to anything?
that’s cool, right?

They can talk...
Agents can contact players, have any level of talk they want with the player (provided that player is OK with said interest) at any time during the players’ college career. What said agent CANNOT do is provide money and/or gifts to an active college player or harass player after player asks them to stop.
Problem comes in if the player is actually accepting money and/or gifts from the agent. That’s what got UNC and USC in trouble. I have a very hard time believing that Kellen Moore would have done anything to get in trouble with the NCAA. It’s not like Kellen hasn’t had plenty of time to meet with and decide on an agent since the bowl game ended, and this agent has a good reputation for doing things the right way and signs a lot of athletes from the northwest.
Thanks to Ohio State's president, I will never root for a Big Ten football program again (except in extenuating circumstances that aid my primary rooting interest).

i think this is where agents and athletes get themselves in trouble.
the agent is trying to snag a high profile player so he greases the wheels a little bit.
