Contact in these cases is NEVER directly from the school or coach. It is ALWAYS from an intermediary to the agent.
This is done for a few reasons:
1) It keeps things informal and prevents either side's time from being wasted
2) It creates plausible deniability for both the coach and the school. The coach can say he was never contacted. The school doesn't have to be embarrassed by having someone say "no."
I am pretty confident Missouri reached out through an intermediary to float a starting offer of $2.5 million/year to Marshall. Have not heard anything since then, though.
