Anything the NCAA does which inhibits a player from getting paid runs afoul of the Sherman Act.
Not really. The Sherman Act is an anti-trust statute, not a contractual one. The question for the Sherman Act is if requiring a player to be suspended for having pay to play in their contract is an anti-trust violation. Considering it doesn't impact the contract itself, it merely prevents the player from playing for the team that bought them. It doesn't prevent them from getting paid for doing advertising.
We'll see how it comes out in the lawsuit.

You just paid your QB a million so his dumbass would attend for another year.
Companies paid UGA's QB a million for advertising. He'll get paid that even if he transfers tomorrow. It's based on the fame he got as UGA's starter on the field.
Tennessee boosters paid Nico before he got to campus. He had no fame to sell yet as he hadn't played and wasn't projected as the starter. The NCAA believes his contract had inducements to attend the University of Tennessee (something that doesn't exist in UGA NIL deals).
I get that you don't what to hear it but UGA is doing NIL the way the NCAA wants NIL done. Players start for UGA, build up their Name/Image/Likeness and sign endorsement deals based on their fame. They aren't set up in a way that the player would lose the money from the signed contract if they transfer.
Sorry that we aren't cheating like you are. If you win though, we'll start buying recruits too. That will only make our recruiting better.

The Tennessee collective Spyre Sports and booster Hunter Baddour flew Nico into Knoxville for an unoffficial visit before he committed to Tennessee or signed an NIL.
This is a very inconvenient truth for Tennessee.

Spyre isn’t a collective. Try again and maybe you’ll get it right.

The fact that Spyre's homepage has a "Join the Volunteer Club" link on it is enough to qualify them as a booster, regardless of how you want to classify them as an entity. It's a meaningless distinction.

The volunteer club is the Tennessee collective. The Volunteer Club doesn’t make deals with athletes until they are enrolled at Tennessee.
Spyre is not a collective, retard.

It doesn’t. Unless the volunteer club was negotiating deals with recruits.

Also, this has nothing to do with today’s hearing. You can read the Tennessee’s AG comments he made after it concluded.

Spyre is a booster, regardless of if you apply the "collective" label to them or not.
You're arguing something irrelevant to the decisions coming down. You can label Spyre's organization in whatever way you like, it won't change the fact they qualify as a booster under the NCAA regulations that have been in place since at least 2000 (perhaps earlier).
Boosters are prohibited from certain actions by NCAA rule. It appears Spyre may have broken one of those rules.
It's not like Spyre is hiding their UT affiliation. Their website has a link to the Volunteer Club on their homepage.

You continue to prove that you are a retard. You have no idea what the case is even about at this point.

"The Case" meaning Tennessee suing the NCAA is about Tennessee violating the only NIL rule on the books. YOu can't have NIL contracts that include inducements for a player to enroll at or play for a school.
That's the only rule the NCAA has on NIL. Tennessee is suing to make NIL have no rules.
That has nothing to do with Spyre. Spyre comes into question with another potential NCAA violation. That violation has to do with charter flights and visiting coaches. It comes down to the question if Spyre is a booster or not (the NCAA rules say yes, they're a booster).
The argument that Spyre isn't a collective (that you're making) has nothing to do with the court case. It's a distraction from the fact that Spyre is a Booster, and thus is prohibited from certain actions (such as a flying a player out and having them meet with coaches).
You're dancing all over the place here. But here it is spelled out.
1 - Tennessee has players with NIL deals that contain "pay to play" inducements (we know this because they're suing to make that okay).
2 - Tennessee is being investigated by the NCAA for that.
3 - Spyre is a booster according to NCAA bylaws.
4 - Tennessee is being investigated by the NCAA for Spyre doing things that boosters aren't allowed to do.
You can argue the details of collective vs whatever you want to classify Spyre as. Does't really matter as the only classification that matters regarding the NCAA is "booster".
But feel free to insult if that makes you feel better. The truth is you're just trying to obfuscate and I'm just explaining reality as it stands. I get that me messing up your plan pisses you off, but that's all on you.

Per NCAA's 2022 guidelines, a collective is indeed considered a booster.
