My daughter thought he should try out for the Olympics in Javelin...

Steve was also the AD at UTC for a few years at the end of his career.

That's when I started coming here for my Vols fix, and have never looked back. I'm not sure I've ever posted this, but Thanks VolNation!

Exactly.

That is true, and exactly the point I guess I was trying to make. This lawsuit - and the others that will surely follow - are the result of the NCAA trying to enforce rules that the federal government said they cannot. I really can't understand their end-game. Their lawyers had to know this...

The original case was based on the NCAA getting money from EA Sports for using players' images and likenesses without being fairly compensated. They had a chance to do the right thing and didn't. I am calling that the watershed moment when the NCAA's greed screwed themselves. The schools...

I'm glad we got the injunction and I now feel confident that we will prevail, but I am sorry that it had to come to this. The NCAA is responsible for all of this. They lost control of NIL through their own greed. They had an opportunity to do what's right for the student athlete and failed...

Agreed. I actually think it might be a little bit of both. He may think he knows what he is getting into, but us lifelong Vols fans know what he is REALLY getting into. One thing I found interesting about DeBoer is that he brought almost his entire staff from Fresno State along with him...

The drunk chick that kissed Saban at the airport and yelled "We love him"

I wish I had your confidence. I don't see this ever balancing itself out. It is true that players want to play, but money talks. I see the pendulum swinging in only one direction, and I fear the result will be the system toppling over. The courts are the only thing that could change the...
