UND got caught tampering with a player not yet in the portal and is now on probation this year. 😬

  • One year of probation.
  • A $25,000 fine.
  • A one-week ban on recruiting communications for the football program during the January 2027 notification-of-transfer window.
  • A 3% reduction in official paid visits in football during the 2026-27 academic year.
  • Three one-week bans on football unofficial visits during the 2026-27 academic year.
  • A one-year show-cause order for Stepps, during which any employing NCAA member school must restrict him from communicating with four-year transfer prospects during the entire January 2027 football notification-of-transfer window.
  • A one-game suspension for Stepps during the 2026 football season.

So once again the NCAA goes after the small fry when everybody and their brother knows that all the big schools are doing this on a regular basis. Huh. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Not all of the big schools are doing this but one big school Griz fans know is from personal experience is Jimmy Rogers Iowa State Cyclones.

I would bet money that more of the top FBS schools are doing this than the ones who aren't - they're just better at getting away with it than poor old North Dakota. Plenty of players have said outright that they've gotten calls from schools when they aren't even in the portal. If somebody wanted to do a big investigation, it could probably be done but the NCAA only ever goes after the low-hanging fruit.

Oh come on now. Ol Jimmy is pure integrity. Just ask SDSU and WSU.

I wonder how soon Ol Jimmy is going to have to rely on those WSU and SDSU connection when he gets ran out of Ames for failing to win half his games in the Big 12 with an FCS roster.
 
I'm thinking someone at NCAA said "UND is tampering!", meaning Notre Dame, and someone else said "slap those silly Sioux with some penalties, bro!!"
