Kansas State has long been viewed as a classy guy.

I will give him classy move, but is it not a violation for coaches to contact players of other teams?

Not if you are a BCS coach.

Actually I would think it would only be a problem if the contact was for recruiting purposes, but then what do I know?

they usually go through SID office-its not totally uncommon.

Recruiting is exactly what I was thinking about. Bret Beliema wanted to leave Wisconsin but could not do anything overtly and blatant without getting into trouble with his school. So he wrote a nice hand written note to Jeff Long at Arkansas about how impressed he was of how he handled the Petrino deal. No mention of wanting a job but certainly got his name in front of Long while knowing Long would be looking for a coach in the future.

I hate to be cynical but the thought just flashed before me.
