Which Of These Are Examples Of Collusion?

So my league doesn't have any hard anti-collusion rules, but I thought I would ask about these scenarios anyway. Please let me know which ones you think, if any, are examples of collusion.
 
Scenario 1: Team A trades players to Team B and they agree to split any earnings.
 
Scenario 2: Team C trades star players to Team D, but it is for what the league has determined as fair-market value. There is no agreement to split earnings, but Team C wants to trade to Team D because he dislikes the other owners in the league and wants to make things tougher for them.
 
Scenario 3: Team E agrees to not enter into trade talks that Team F is involved in, because Teams E and F have a close personal bond. Likewise, Team F agrees to not enter into trade talks if Team E is involved, but Team G wants to hear bids from all interested teams.
 
Scenario 4: Team H agrees to trade a certain package of draft picks to Team I, if Team I beats Team H in their matchup that week. The trade would still be for fair-market-value though. Also assume that teams have been able to make low-stakes bets like this in the past, but this particular instance definitely raises the stakes. No rule against bets though.
 
Scenario 5: Team J makes a bid on a free agent. Team J cannot increase his own bid on the player, so he asks Team K to increase the bid, so that Team J can come in after him and bid the player up again to the price that he wants. Team J is successful in doing this.
 
Scenario 6: The commissioner sends out mass texts to everyone in the league telling them to increase the bid on a star free agent. The commissioner is successful in doing this.
 
Please discuss below. Thanks

If collusion and tanking need to be expressed as rules, then you need to play in a different league. We did have to institute a draft order reverse order incentive in the consolation round of some leagues, but that wasn't as much about tanking as about giving owners a few more games of interest for the last few weeks. And that was baseball, but I could see doing it in a football league too.

I was gonna say.

 

OP, what kind of leagues are you in??? You seem suspect about the integrity of your league/leagues. 

 

To each their own though. I could talk about players, but honestly, if I were able to predict the future accurately, then I wouldn't be playing fantasy football that much at all.
