par·i·ty
/'per?de/
noun
1.
the state or condition of being equal, especially regarding status or pay:

I’m thinking you don’t know the definition of parity.
What about this ruling makes anything “equal”? Yeah, yall get to keep that QB, but if you think that Bama, UGA, TX won’t outbid you on the next round of recruits, you are STOOPID.

Why don't you mind your own business. You don't know the whole story.

This was Georgia losing the case to take our QB out.

You need to go worry about your five-star QB because he didn't have a good debut game.

This ruling and this case has been slated to happen since SCOTUS ruled on NIL and laid bare the NCAA's vulnerabilities to the Sherman Antitrust Act. The only question was which school/state would bring the case and that was largely a function of who the NCAA chose to target.

The NCAA was warned by SCOTUS in Alston and has had 3 years to change their ways and regulate NIL in a way that addresses where they violate the Sherman Antitrust Act. Instead of fixing those issues and pursuing a legitimate way of regulating NIL related issues, they ran to congress and when that failed tried to pretend that the Alston ruling didn't exist.

What the NCAA didn't anticipate was Tennessee fighting back. We were chosen by the NCAA because they thought that we would cave. They figured that scaring us with the threat of "repeat offender" status due to Pruitt's cheating having just been resolved and putting the charge of lack of institutional control on the table would scare us into submission.

What they didn't anticipate was that instead of scaring us, it enraged us. We had bent over backwards for the NCAA and were upheld as a paragon by the NCAA on how to deal with problems like Pruitt's cheating. Our chancellor and AD took the LOIC charge as an insult given all we'd been through and done for and with the NCAA in that case. Sooo instead of an easy win that would've helped the NCAA rein in other schools by way of example, they turned what could've been their best ally in getting a handle on NIL into their enemy.

SHUT UP!

You just pissed that we stole your inbound LB coach, only to be COC over to BOC!

You should thank Georgia for that exposing your complicit actions in this witch hunt.

THE DECLINE IS REAL!

UGA's President didn't think we had grapefruit gonads to fight back against this sham witch hunt just to take Nico out.

Their little disguise to dress up as the NCAA failed miraculously.

Now they have a target on their backs in the Fall.

This linebacker coach was rated so high that Josh intercepted that follow. Just tells you about blind loyalty. He could have easily turned him down in exchange for loyalty.

Karl expected for everybody to follow him.....OOPS!

Serious question: why, because of this ruling is TN in any better position than other SEC teams???
Thanks Vols, you just ruined college football.

We're not. The injunction stops the NCAA from enforcing NIL rules until the resolution of the case. It applies across the board to everyone. I suppose if you wanted to claim a victory for TN it's on the PR front and in the fact that it and other rulings point towards a victory in the larger case but this isn't the kind of thing that I'd say advantages anyone beyond the PR realm (and the ability to operate in the NIL sphere which is going to apply to everyone).

"We just ruined college football!"

This coming from a fan whose team was paying money under the table to highly rated prospects and offering impermissible gifts like Dodge Chargers and Escalades. That practice has spread over to Georgia and Texas.

This lawsuit only covers Tennessee and Virginia currently. Also Tennessee has just big if boosters as anyone. Owner of the Cleveland Browns, Governor of Tennessee, owner of Pilot Oil, and founder of DISH network just ti name a few. Didn’t even include Peyton Manning that donates millions of dollars every year to the school.

What about this ruling makes anything “equal”?

Bama has been paying players long before NIL.
2022-Leon O’Neal Jr., who is currently a rookie in the NFL after signing as an undrafted free agent with the 49ers, also spoke out.

O’Neal was a four-star recruit in the Class of 2018 and chose Texas A&M over Alabama. He said that every Crimson Tide football player received a Dodge Charger upon their commitment while he was driving a Nissan Maxima.

2001- In January 2001, former Trezevant assistant coach Milton Kirk asserted that head coach Lynn Lang had let colleges know that for $200,000 Lang would arrange for Means to play for Alabama. Kirk said that in the fall of 1999, he'd helped Lang broker a deal with several Alabama boosters in the Memphis area. During the fall, he'd gotten $30,000 from the boosters. The other $170,000 was paid when Means signed with the Crimson Tide in December.


2000- Former Florida State defensive end Travis Johnson went on to be drafted in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft by Houston. He also responded to Saban’s claim that Alabama did not buy one player on Wednesday night. In turn, Johnson said that the Crimson Tide offered him six figures during his recruitment and brought up the recruitment of Albert Means.

NIL has made it where no one has to hide or fear the NCAA is coming after them, while they turn a blind eye to Alabama. This equals the playing field and keeps teams like Bama from stock piling 5* players for 3 years before they see the field.

Now, get fricked, stay fricked, frick boy!!

FBI takes control of investigation against Alabama.
-Federal prosecutors in Memphis, Tenn., began investigating Alabama's recruitment of Albert Means amid published reports that his high school coach took thousands of dollars to steer him toward Alabama.

Two football coaches from Memphis have pleaded guilty to federal charges, and former Alabama booster Logan Young of Memphis is awaiting trial on conspiracy charges. Alabama was placed on probation.

- FBI also was looking into Bear Bryant also.
The agent who sent notes on the Bryant case to Washington died years ago. A retired agent who once worked in the FBI's Birmingham office, Larry A. Long, said in an interview the bureau likely monitored the Bryant case because it claimed violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Bryant already had black players on his team as non-scholarship walk-on players, but it wasn't until five months after the federal suit was filed that Alabama signed its first black football player to a scholarship, Wilbur Jackson. The next year, 1971, another player became the first black player to appear in a varsity football game for 'Bama.


Bama hasn’t never liked change till they are forced to change. They have always tried to play by a different set of rules through the years and have been allowed to do so till they been forced to change due to the FBI being involved.

If you believe this

Why wouldn’t I? If it was jsut one player fine, but we have multiple players from different eras saying the same exact thing.

Pat White- QB West Virginia claims he was offered a corvette to comitt to Bama.

Albert Means- FBI investigated his recruitment and it was found he was paid at least $200K and his high school coaches actually met with Boosters in memoirs during this time.


2018- O'Neal was a four-star recruit in the Class of 2018 and chose Texas A &M over Alabama.
He said that every Crimson Tide football player received a Dodge Charger upon their commitment

2000- (pre Saban)- Antonio Cromartie, a former
FSU star, says Alabama offered him $60K to help it in recruiting while on probation

Every player not lying like you would want me and everyone else to believe.
