Bishop Gone? [NOPE]

[508mikey]

I think there are 17 or 18 Vols in the portal now.
Higher than most teams. Thankfully all but 2 or 3 are 3 stars ️

so that means Middle Tennessee and Tenn Chat can take their picks

This is what you get when you let courts get in your business. Players have zero accountability or responsibility. Just sign, get paid & take a year off due to “injury”. A lot of guys have done exactly this at other schools. Not sure there is a way out now. Even employees can leave at anytime.

I don't like the way NIL is heading at all.. But on the flip side of things. You can't have coaches being able to leave whenever they want like the Marshall coach who left and took another job before their bowl game.

Completely and totally not remotely close to relevant. The school pays the coach. The team that poached him buys him out. The school doesn’t pay these brat ass boys. They get to freely use the school to make money without any negative repercussions.

It's all about the money. Trying to get more money, it's not all about playing time now. Can you blame him if he is offered much more money?

I agree some. But if we're talking strictly accountability and responsibility. Then that coach quit on his team and it's all about the money for him.

You hit the portal, you take your chances. The team does not have to take you back and I think many teams don't take guys back.

I don't think I would take them back. Not good for team morale.

Is he in the portal? Is this official?

Bishop isn’t in the portal. However, WR Mike Matthews entered the portal late Sat night. They will submit his name Monday morning. There were rumblings about Nico but I think all is well (for now).

What happens when the kids run the school….

What is the point of even following recruiting at this point.

Beause at the rate this is going, the new recruits are going have to step up big time.

Look into that more, marshall ****ed that up, not the coach

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Bishop is not in the portal.

According to AP and others UT is negotiating a new contract with Matthews because he pulled this BS at literally the last hour the portal was open. Asked for papers at 1030pm.

Go ahead and pay me 9 million a year to deal with this drama. Coach pepperjax reporting for duty!

Fahr CPJ!

Feels like a generation of people today somehow think a player and coach are in the same level and that players deserve the NIL because of what coach’s make. Let’s be clear, the coach has worked their a$$ off to get where they are and are there to coach the team for team success. Some of these people think the coach’s job is to serve the individual player’s needs and see to it that the player is happy. BS

Completely agree. And let’s be real. Without these coaches many of these athletes would never go to college at all much less have a shot at the NFL. I mean Fulmer for Travis Henry here and he could barely read or write.

For one year and they are gone. Might as well start a NIL company called rent a player

Some of you suck.

Coulda stopped right here.

Mathews’s situation is unclear.
Right now he’s not in the portal.

 

[wmcovol]

What some of these guys don’t realize is they are actually damaging their name & imagine by making it only about the money. Not a smart move long term. Jmo

Technically he can’t be picked up by another school, however, he filed out the paperwork. He can withdraw his name before tomorrow; otherwise he will be in the portal.

These schools have made money in these players for too long without sharing with the playerz

If he's RB1 next year, we are cooked
