re: Tennessee AD Danny White releases statement, goes HAM on NCAA

quote:

If Nico can transfer to Kentucky and keep his NIL deal, then there's no issue. But it sounds like his deal is pretty obviously dependent upon him living in Knoxville/attending UT. And that's the sort of thing that needs to be eliminated from NIL. The NcAA needs to go after schools paying transfers or high school players to come play for their school. That is expressly forbidden by the NIL rules. Tennessee's excuse is "The rules have loop holes we're using and everyone else is doing it too."

Once again, the NCAA cannot restrict NIL. Courts have already decided. They have no way around collectives wording contracts in such way.
