Money was what kept him out of the draft, it’s not why he left Athens. Carson and coaching staff/rest of the team were not in good terms in the end. He was going draft before Miami gave him a few million reasons not to.

Contract hold outs in college sports. The game is a farce now. Cheering these guys on feels stupid as frick. They don't give a shite about the school or the fans.

Yup.
And booing feels completely appropriate when it’s deserved.
What’s ol’ State U. asking for admission to come and root on the boys?

Tennessee should tell him to kick rocks. I'd feel the exact same if Sellers pulled the same shite.

Why would they? At best they interact with the larger campus for the 12 credit hours a week they are required to be in a classroom (unless they go to an online diploma mill like Ohio State in which case they may not be able to name a single campus building that doesn’t hve to do with football). They aren’t allowed to be college kids on the campuses they go to and they don’t experience any of the normal barriers a college kid would face when thinking about transferring to give them second thought.
Fact of the matter is this isn’t even because of bad decision making by school presidents in the here and now; this is all the bill that has come due with severe interest because the school Presidents in the 90s and 2000s didn’t want to get ahead of it. Stuck their heads in the sand on tv deals, amateurism, realignment, and academic fraud until they had no legal recourse and here we are.

Who would trade for him with stats like these?
I say let him walk. Most teams have their QB locked up so there is not a big market right now. Tenner holds all the cards.

The best part is that fans actually think their school is the exception.

Athlete-only dorms shocked me when I first heard of them.

if you go to Volnation, Tennessee fans are done with Nico there is no coming back from this. He pretty much has to leave now. Whatever games were being played have worked out poorly for team Nico.

college athletics are a total shitshow with pay for play and the transfer portal. Who cares anymore

Don't care what happens with him honestly. Its not my money if they pay and he stays. If he leaves we have two promising QBs who seem like they actually want to be at Tennessee who will get a shot.

Yeah I don’t see anyone matching or exceeding what Tennessee is paying him based on his past production. Dude thinks he’s Jayden Daniels or something.
Unless he already has an offer. Let’s not act like other programs aren’t desperate for a QB that can make them competitive.
Even if he’s not national championship caliber, if he can simply get USC in the conversation for Big 10 champion, then he’ll help USC earn more money through sales and TV marketing.
Football is no longer - probably hasn’t been since the early 20th century - a pure sport. It’s just business.

Not even worried about athlete only dorms; those hve been around forever in one form or another. Greater issue is simply that now more than ever, the student aspect is an absolute joke. Half your roster each year is seemingly going to transfer and you have multiple players around the country who haven’t spent more than a calendar year at each of 3+ schools. You quite literally can’t graduate inside 5 years when you only take 12 hours a semester and transfer to a new school that in all likelihood won’t be able to use some of those credit hours.
And it’s not just the players shooting themselves in the foot academically. As tv money hs gotten larger and the need to win for brand elevation and donor engagement has skyrocketed, any time guys had outside of the basic workout, practice, and games has been completely snuffed out everywhere. Hell, they only go to class at UGA because it’s still required for eligibility and we don’t offer online programs. Guys like Brock Bowers staying for 3 years and then coming back to finish their degrees in the NFL offseason are increasingly becoming unicorn stories.

This and guys like Lincoln Riley 1000% believe they can fix a kid like Nico, that Heupel and Co simply don’t know how to get the most out of him. It’s how all top level football coaches view the game
