You get way too hostile every time someone shares an opinion. Maybe learn to not take life so seriously. Chill out.

I don’t think you understand the actual parity NIL brings to the future of college football, I think most fans want to see a different outcome than the same damn teams in the playoff practically every year

I think it might bring parity in the short to medium run. In this current iteration of NIL, we’re really just running in a big circle where we eventually will end up right back to where we started after the schools with the most money figure out how to leverage it appropriately. I don’t think this wild, Wild West is going to bring parity in the long run at all.

I’m just going to say it…NIL has been a complete disaster like many said it would be and college football is not better for it. The fact that we have agents for teenagers and university collectives getting in Twitter spats is probably not how people clamoring for athlete pay equity imagined this would go.

It’s what I was afraid of. All that will be talked about is money.

i'll say this, if i were a top 5 QB this year, and the best NIL deal I can get is my only goal, i think i am waiting until signing day to commit. can you imagine if say, arch manning had a top 10 he kept stringing along all season, and he had all 10 teams believing there is a chance he will commit to them so they keep their QB options open, when it came down to signing day he says "what are you willing to pay" what the bidding would look like. especially if you got a couple teams who are just in love with him and believe he is the final piece to their puzzle. i also believe that by the time signing day rolls around, UT paying 8 million for the number 2 or 3 qb may look like a steal compared to what other teams may have to pay for their QB

Alabama doesn’t have the most money though…that in itself is parity at this point

Post a side by side of our recruits and their class and tell me which positions you like better for each team… don’t let rankings fool you.

Rankings don’t matter. Right. The same old tired argument. If that’s the case then why go after the highly ranked guys at all? Sorry to break it to you but stars matter. Stars are the reason we didn’t beat UGA.

Like I said UF is a dumpster fire. Yet we are doing really good yet can’t out recruit them when they have a brand new staff?

But Vandy can beat Georgia right! I mean duh!!! Lord hammercy. This isn’t black and white. You’ve got to have BOTH coaching AND the players.

It certainly helps them that 16 of their 23 commits are from Florida, 10 of those being 4 stars. Florida is always going to get theirs.

More of this absolute ignorance. Stars are the reason UT didn't beat UGA? Then what was the reason the Vols DID beat UF, LSU, and Bama? According to "stars", Bama is the most talented team in the country by a fairly wide margin. LSU is 8th. UF is 12th. UT is 19th.

UGA is a very talented team. That would be true if their guys were given 3*. It would be true if recruiting rankings didn't exist. Talent, not "stars", helped UGA win. The two are not equivalent.

And why would UT pursue Rashada when they have Nico committed? UF has 19 4* players committed. Fourteen of them are from Florida. There are currently 82 players rated 4/5* in the state of Florida. Any more moronic questions about why UF does well in recruiting or why it is more difficult for UT when there's seldom 14 4/5* players in the state of TN?

The "guy" for UT will do two things extremely well. They will find a lot of talent that's overlooked by others (those 3* players you are convinced are automatically inferior)... and they will develop talent well.

Lol. You keep on being proven wrong yet you think you are right. Don’t you get tired of being wrong? Show me where I said we should go after Rashada? Especially when we have the much better QB. Your thinking and attitude is that of a perpetual 8-9 win program. Hey you be you. I want TN to be a national title contender. And you don’t get to that point unless you get the high 4/5* players. That’s a fact you can’t deny. You do your best to try but you ultimately fail.

If you believe you've proven me wrong then you are deluded to the point of needing professional help.

He was the context of you saying: "UF smoking us in recruiting. That’s just great." The EXACT context. Now, go ahead and deny that reality too.

No. It is the thinking of someone who actually... well... thinks. Someone who fully recognizes that the recruiting services find less than half the players that deserve 4/5* and hand out a BUNCH of 4* ratings... that aren't deserved. Someone who KNOWS it is far better to have a coach that can recognize talent for himself rather than one with a 247 subscription.

Hey you be you. I want TN to be a national title contender.

Maybe. And that will happen when UT gets the talent that can win on game day and not just National Signing Day.

And you don’t get to that point unless you get the high 4/5* players. That’s a fact you can’t deny. You do your best to try but you ultimately fail.

I gave you 3 direct, recent examples disproving that "fact". You get there by finding talent regardless of whether some journalist affirms it... and then coaching those players up. Pretty much exactly what Heupel has done since he arrived
