when we get Nico, let us truly feel sorry for the one person who will suffer from all of this.....Bob Kesling.

I was thinking that too Hoss. Great Minds

If we land this kid our recruiting will become elite once again. He's the big fish we need to get back top 5 classes year in and out

His brother is also a QB in the 2025 class. So who knows?

 

[Volsdeep4]

My understanding 350,000 just to get him interested .. he can still go anywhere

Good thing you don’t understand

That is presumably what is being discussed. That the contract would turn over the rights to his name image and likeness to spyre, where only Spyre can use it. He would not be able to profit from any other NIL deals unless through Spyre.

Interesting.

Thanks for the clear up.

Money talks ... heart is at Oregon but brain is with TN ..

I think YOUR heart is at Oregon, bud.

That's why it's a big deal, because choosing to sign with Spyre all but guarantees he signs with Tennessee. Spyre only operates for Tennessee Student Athletes.

While they cannot say, "you must attend the university of Tennessee," by signing with Spyre, he is forfeiting his option to make any NIL money outside of them.

So, if he chose to sign with Spyre and then signed his NLI with Oregon, he cannot take any NIL opportunities in Oregon, unless they were coordinated by Spyre (which they wouldn't, because Spyre only works with Tennessee athletes and Tennessee businesses).

So, basically, Nico would be forced to sign here and earn up to $8M, OR sign elsewhere, get $350k, and not a penny more until he went to the NFL. It isn't forcing him to sign anywhere. But it is saying, "if you want to be with our company, your best interest for making maximum money is to be in Knoxville where we operate."

That's how I understand all of this.

Yeah, he is still saying he wants to wait until April for whatever reason even tho everyone knows he’s in

If he's already chosen his destination, and he's smart, he'd announce and start recruiting to his future school. That's how this is supposed to work.

He may be doing that already for all we know
