Tennessee NIL Infractions?

Is it too late to get any of their recruits? I guess we still have the spring portal.

 

If ever there was a time to stand up, it is now. The NCAA had over two years to come up with rules and guidelines, and did nothing.

Now they adopt a bylaw which presumes guilt, which is outrageous. No way should that be allowed to stand. UT's response is also very interesting in suggesting that the NCAA is trying to using enforcement mechanisms to stifle NIL payments to athletes to circumvent court rulings.

So the NCAA's position is: we don't have any rules, but you are presumed guilty of doing something wrong anyway, and we are going to punish your institution to stifle NIL payments. Sounds like a great opportunity to administer a savage beatdown to those clowns in the courtroom.

I'd ignore whatever punishment they dole out, continue doing business as usual, and fight them in court if they take further action against us.

 

Only 40-50?

 

I bet more will be joining that supposed number. IMO, the end game for this is to ban the use of collectives for NIL. Everyone knows they’re sham organizations that don’t provide what the true intent of what NIL is supposed to be. I say let these kids go secure their own deals for NIL.

 

Hell, so what if you lose scholarships? In theory, with enough NIL money, you could have 105 players on the equivalent of scholarships, even if technically you’re only sitting at 75. You could even induce more players to greyshirt for you, and just pay them not to play for someone else for a year.

 

Interesting.

Aren’t they already on probation? Now they are being investigated again, which is not good at all.

 

That makes sense, and seems to be what the NCAA is trying to do. The intent of NIL was to let kids get paid if someone uses their NIL. I get that. But that is not what is happening.

Your solution of "let the kids secure their own deals" though, is just going to create a whole other level of abuses, but without any structure whatsoever. As loose as it is now, at least there is the "collective" that can be somewhat monitored.

The kids doing their own deal will basically just go back to the old system: the cheaters pay money under the table and pretend like nothing is happening.

 

Hilarious and sad to see a collegiate athletic body try to police professional contractors.

 

The Vols have more violations than teeth in their stadium on gameday.

 

They'll skate. They always do.

 

Weren't the Vols involved in our 1984 SEC sanctions? Or was it another school?

Either way I hope they lose Nico Iamaleava... If I were him I'd say Iamaleavan Tennessee.

 

Blah blah blah. Did another team fail to properly file the pay to play paperwork properly. This shit is sooooooo dumb.

 

He should go to Vandy. I heard they have great paper, Mâché degrees for athletes.

 

It’s not an inducement if you say it’s not an inducement in the contract, even though it’s an inducement. Huh..

 

Crank up the billable hours.
