BS! It's not about the money and if you can't see this you'll never understand. This has more to do was setting a new standard and preventing this kids from holding a University hostage after already getting paid. It's greed and arrogance on the part of the student athlete.

Oh yeah it's for sure a dumb article. He is trying to write something unique to distinguish himself and get clicks. He might have achieved the latter

UT has 2mil easily. The kid ain’t worth it. If a coach like Hueppel says he ain’t worth it and they have watched him for two years then he’s not worth it. Whoever does pay him will be considered bad for CFB. There is likely someone out there saying he’s worth 4mil. Guess we’ll find out but I doubt it

I hope the others call his bluff and he doesn’t even sniff a million. Hope they lose money out of all of this.

Would it have caught you in feels if had said Tennessee wasn't wealthy enough?

It is literally the job of a sports columnist to stir up s**t with his opinions, but this take is asinine because he’s getting way ahead of his skis as to how good Nico is.

I said it yesterday, it’s not the mere fact that he wanted a raise that got so many people pissed off. It’s the fact that he basically tried to pull a power play and get more of a raise than his performance merited, and Tennessee told him rightfully to take a hike.

Why does Goodman believe Nico is worth 4 million?

I didn’t see anything in his game that commanded that number last year.

Admittedly, I didn’t see that many UT games but I was at the AR game.

If the Vols give into him, they are going to have a stream of players lined up at the coaches office wanting more money.

This is already going to happen at UT and everywhere else. Get used to it.

Did UT stand on principle or did they not think Nico was worth $4,000,000? If it is the former, then good for them. But if they suck at QB in the fall and Nico tears it up for over $2,000,000 somewhere else, it’s not going to be a good look. If it’s the latter, then that’s just capitalism. How many people in real jobs could demand double their salary and get it?

Is that an Al.com link? I suspect it is, thus I didn’t click on it. My goal is not to give those shitbags one more penny or one more click, ever.

Sadly, Goodman is correct - we're flat broke. If you don't want us to return to the single wing, please contribute to our GoFundMeQB drive. Let's face it - you'd rather defend a lousy QB than a hard to defend stone age offensive scheme.

Can't believe all the downvotes from those supporting love for goodman or al-dotcommie. It is a heavily slanted garbage website that is contrary to the majority of Alabamians. Didn't click or read, but surprised if goodman didn't fit a lefty angle in the column. His views fit those of his employer perfectly.

Vols were right not to pay $4 mil.

At this point, the only time a Goodman article should be shared is when his take isn't a hot pile of dogshit.

He's a poor man's Skip Bayless with the journalism skills of a high school newspaper writer.

No, people are downvoting you for posting a link to a whacko kamala loving liberals.

Tuscaloosa is correct, posting a link to a Goodman article should be grounds for permanent dismissal.
