‘23 CA QB Nicholaus Iamaleava (Tennessee)

If he took $350K, he signed a contract. Spyre would own his NIL. He can't sign another NIL deal. There may be outs but I would bet it involves returning the $350K.
Butchna said it was non-binding I thought. I don't have an Athletic subscription anymore so I've not read what Mandel wrote directly.

If Spyre is handing out $350K with no strings attached, they need to immediately be removed as a source for TN NIL.
I agree, I was told it was not permitted to directly require that he attend a certain school in exchange for the dough, more of a wink and nudge kind of deal. Sounds crazy to me but everything about NIL is. Here's Nico talking to Zach Ragan from this morning.

I do agree with all that right now, to day it is Tennessee. Callahan's CB solidified that in my mind. Im sure Oregon UGA and Napoleon are telling him to wait and take visits. Presumably to see what Arch does, if anything. When that happens, full court press is on.

This is an old video. Not from this morning. And he’s not talking to Zach Ragan lol.

Sure, you can't tie it to a school but when you sign an NIL contract and receive $$$, you sign your rights to NIL away, exclusively ( at least that's the way it should be). He can sign and play for any team but he couldn't receive NIL from another organization.
 
I would advise you not listen to anyone from A to Z Sports as they aren’t real recruiting news. Just some fans trying to do it. Here is the full video from 5 days ago.


It's still after the Mandel article came out about the 8 million signing and the kid kept a pretty good poker face there.

It was none binding to the school, but it is to spyre who is tennessee collective therefor he is bound to tennessee if he wants to make money legally

I know who Spyre is but again I was given to understand that his deal with Spyre could not require him to attend a particular school, and that the 350K was free and clear. Unless the contract is posted somewhere though it's all hearsay as to what the terms are, it makes no sense to me as an old lawyer but that's what some reputable posters have said ITT.

If it's on Rivals somebody should be able to look it up, I don't have an account there.
Even googling parts of statements will usually return results. Don't see it on Rivals and AP/BH aren't saying anything to confirm it.

That said, I'll give troll credit for throwing in enough pleasantries to make it sould legitimate.
