‘23 CA QB Nicholaus Iamaleava (Tennessee)

[Bruce Wayne]

Expound

I don’t know anything for sure, but the rumor I heard doesn’t make sense timing wise. Also I think sports are the opposite of the business world from a PR world. In business, Tuesdays are the biggest day of the week for pr drops, but I think it makes more sense to do sports news on a Thursday and Friday so fans can talk about it while they’re not focusing on their m-f job.

So hopefully he drops it Thursday or Friday. Combining it with a successful weekend for the Hoops team could be huge for Tennessee fans.

Again, all speculation on my part.

I don't even care about Uncle and twitter.

The entire L.A. area knows it is us. They are disinterested observers, so there's no reason to just make it up. Both UCLA and USC boards know.

Absolutely. Even a partner at the firm the contract was done with confirmed it.

Where is that info?

Where is that info?

It was on the UCLA board...the guy mentioned his firm worked on the contract. He didn't go into all the fine details. The name of the firm is Buchalter.

At what point would some of these guys possibly have to take a pay cut to go to the NFL?

At these numbers, anything past the 2nd round would be a pay cut, at least initially.

Probably already been posted, had to skip 30-40 pages.

That’s where he’s transferring to HS.

Feldman and Stewart Mandel talking about the $8 million NIL deal.

Nothing new.

I do think they misunderstand collectives and their goals. They wondered, "what happens if a well-paid player doesn't start? Then the collective will have more power than the HC".

They are thinking of collectives as if the end goal is profit. If Nico were paid by Nico or Adidas...then sure, their goal is exposure. But people donating to Spyre just want to win. A kid like Nico just increases our odds of doing so. No one will care if it is Nico or Jackson or a walkon doing it.

They also got into how much the collective would earn. They worried, "what if they pay out $8mm to this kid, but can only earn $1mm in NiL deals to offset those costs? That isn't sustainable". Just LOL as if we care about roi anymore than bagmen ever have. I mean, hey, if Spyre legitimately earns some of the $8mm back and we can put that toward future players, then by all means! But that is not the expectation and the breakeven point we are looking at either. Consistent annual donations over thousands of VFLs will ride out the busts.

That sucks. Was hoping we might pull him too.

Didn’t think about the tournament. That’s probably more of a reason for him to not do it post Thursday. If he’s self aware he doesn’t want to take away from basketball ala Tom Brady

Funny how one little letter changes the completed picture.

Tweet from his dad. I understand mods don’t want to ruin kids moment and a lot of us have a sever case of BVS but nicos coach/uncle and Jordan’s dad are not hiding it well. Or we’re getting trolled hard core.

Def worth quoting here Cam

Earlier, talk was about Heupel could be a candidate for UCLA job. One reason the writer gave was Heupel might leave because Tennessee would not be able to compete with UCLA in this new area of NIL.

I think that might be answered now.

Now you understand why Bama players do not declare early.
