You know, it might be time to let him walk. I’m tired of his crap.

I hate Tennessee, but this is extortion from his ghetto arse family.

Frick him, kick his arse down the road.

He obviously doesn't care about being a Vol,all he wants is the money.

and he isn't even that good. Let him walk, nobody with a brain is gonna pay him what he thinks he deserves.

It couldn’t possibly be. Nobody likes Thamel, pretty sure.

I think he's right. That family can get bent, but I have no sympathy for Tenner.

Tennessee sure wants to be the university catching all the attention for NIL matters. And they all stem from Nico. hmmm

Ugh. This NIL shite is getting ridiculous.


Tennessee took the ncaa to court over it. I posted to Vile fans even then that pay for play would impact their team too. They didn’t believe it.

Hell it’s just starting to crank up

99% of college football players in America don’t care in the slightest about the name on the front of their jersey.

That includes the small schools.

This sport is in serious trouble without massive rule changes. Players have all of the benefits with zero responsibility. That isn’t sustainable

That’s an exaggeration. But expecting a kid from Long Beach to love Knoxville just because you offered him $8 mill on potential alone out of HS was and is foolish. If they don’t hve a regional tie, they’re a flight risk you’re likely going to have to pay to mitigate and keep happy

99% may be an exaggeration but I think it’s a great bet that the majority of the players would transfer in a heartbeat for enough money. Your team lost its quarterback too because of it.

Kids playing for a school they love is damn near a fairytale. They may say that... but it's really about the money.

Yup, and how does his current sack of Tennessee money compare to the high schooler to Michigan bag of money?
He's going after a payday, period. Probably talking with non-SEC schools right now. I predict he gone from Tennessee right now.

His stats were comparable to Thorne's, if not inferior.

"Kids playing for a school they love is damn near a fairytale. "

I think that is true for most of them except for the service academies (lke AF, Navy and Army). Those guys I believe have a commitment unlike anything else in college athletics. Mucho respect for those guys.
