Well I mean the President of UGA is the chair of the NCAA.......so us and the Gators are both investigated?........probably just a coincidence.

AND we're beginning to see the teeth of the portal AND NIL leveling the playing field as UGA was missing for the NC this year I'm sure had zero influence, no?

These guys are clowns. The best thing for EVERYONE (that includes the other schools, as well as the ncaa), is for the ncaa to step up with:

1. NIL rules and guidelines that they should have done 3 years ago
2. Set a date of March 1 as an amnesty deadline (comply now, go forth and sin no more)
3. Enforce all rules blindly (no more Kansas, UNC getting a free pass for murder, while executing Missouri for littering).

Everyone keeps making money. Everyone saves face.

Yep but if the main folks currently controlling the NCAA are allowed to stay would things really change. A few years ago they said they were going to streamline the rule book and start focusing on the individual violators of rules and less toward a university that could not have had any true way of preventing or knowing of a situation. Tennessee is a prime example of a university that tried to comply with the NCAA but instead the NCAA took that kindness as weakness and was willing to use us in their attempt to get back in control of this NIL situation that they never had control of to begin with. When they turned to congress they didn’t like what they heard. And now there desperation attempt at us is getting ready to explode in there hands.

The members of the SEC and the Big10 are members of the NCAA. It's a member organization. It's easy for aggrieved
fans--"how dare they investigate us!"-- to bash the NCAA, but somebody has to govern college athletics---has to set guidelines, boundaries, rules---and enforce them. It's become an extremely difficult task. Who do you think should govern college athletics--the Wise Fans of Tennesee? Please.

If the SEC and Big10 and the rest of the majors were wise, they'd endorse and comply with the NCAA's ban on using NIL deals as a recruiting bribes. It's a sucker's game. Nobody can win at it. Nobody has an advantage. Every major program has piles of crazy boosters and piles of money from them to throw around. You think we're going to consistently outbid Texas and A&M and Georgia, Bama and 35 other major with money for top prospects? Don't be silly.

Sure, we can land a couple if we go wld and make some ridiculous offers to high-school prospects--but we'll lose more bidding contests than we win, for sure. And this is true for everybody. We're not going to use NIL deals to build a better roster than Georgia, Florida or Bama. You think they and their fans would let that happen? They're as crazy or crazier than we are. You think Ohio State will? Nobody has more money than the Texas schools--one of which just opted to spend $76 million to fire a coach--no sweat--one of the biggest absurdities in the history of college football. So what's the point? NIL in recruiting is not going to change anything--and at the end of the day it just amounts to an unseemly bidding/bribery contest by desperate, hyper-competitive fans. And meantime it's corrupting young prospects--turning them into cynical mercenaries, and half of them will transfer after a year or two, anyway---as they've been doing. So, again: What's the point?

The NCAA had very few rules when NIL began. It was a bomb that exploded, and the NCAA had no plan in place to keep it from becoming the "Wild, Wild West". So, for them to decide to retroactively enforce rules that were not in place when NIL began, is just a power grab. What they must do is put a plan in place going forward, and policing that, not going back and trying to put the "toothpaste back in the tube". That never works.

I don’t necessarily think they have an agenda, I think they thought we were easy prey and we were just going to bend over. They got smacked in the mouth and my guess now they’re looking for better lawyers.

saying the NCAA *is* the member institutions is like saying the federal government *is* the American people.

Granted, member institutions like *we the people* have some say, but there is a lot that goes on that has nothing to do with us and that's why we protest, sue, and otherwise to keep that power used in our name in check.

You got me bud.....I know we've addressed it in other threads as well. Funny how the Dawgs always seem to evade any NCAA issues, yet your FSU, Tenn, Michigan's, Gators, etc constantly seem to be in the news with NCAA.

It seems like she used to have more cleavage, before the country went all prudish.

#1 would be really hard for them unless they defer to the whatever the respective state law says given that is how NIL works.

UGA QB Carson Beck just paid 300,000.00 cash for a new Lamborghini out of the 4 million that the UGA collective paid him to come back for one more year.

Excerpt from Tucson.com article:

"Les Fifita told 247Sports.com that Alabama expressed interest in Fifita and McMillan joining the Crimson Tide as a package deal under first-year head coach Kalen DeBoer, who recruited the two players when he was the head coach at Fresno State, despite the two never entering the transfer portal."
