Exactly...No way is this not going to hurt us in recruiting, if it hasn't already. That is the sad thing, innocent or not, we lose just from the accusation. :mad:

I do not think so this time. It appears that for the first time all of this is going to play out in public and people will see what a fraud the NCAA really is. What I want to see is the paperwork on the initial complaint and who is behind this.

And this is why the lawsuit will never go to court. Discovery will show who is telling on who and which complaints are never investigated by the NCAA with potential bias and favoritism.

NCAA wants none of that to come out.

The way I see it, the NCAA is controlled by a few people. They have NO direct liability in these actions. They don't care if TN wins the lawsuit personally.

If these actions were proven to be vindictive in some way (hard to prove of course), then these people should be directly held liable IMO.

NOT ACCEPTABLE!! All college football fans deserve to know just how the system operates. UT should never settle for anything less since they may be the first ones ever to have the opportunity for transparency.

Sorry that’s my opinion. You don’t like it tough. We have had so many fans for years belly aching about TN football. Well now there is a real opportunity for the average fan to help the program they have been complaining about for so long.

A 100k people have no issues with paying for parking, over priced food and drinks, merchandise, hotel rooms etc for games on Saturday. But can’t afford $5 a month? Get out of here. You can’t even buy a McDonalds quarter pounder with cheese for $5. How many TN Vol fans do you think there are? I am going to assume more than 100k. But let’s low ball and say there are 500k TN fans.

Now if all of those 500k people have $5 a month that’s 2.5 million. Now I believe 90% of that monthly fee goes to helping the program. So that’s 2.2 million. Sorry I don’t buy virtually everyone who attends a UT game cannot afford $60 per year. They just don’t want to.

Yeah I am sure your kids would admonish you for donating $5 per month. 🙄🙄 indeed.

I do not think this is based on vindictiveness. This is based on an organization not following its own rules and procedures, in some cases, where rules and procedures did not exist at the time of the complaint. That seems to be what UT is claiming. They are also challenging NCAA statements as to their validity.

It will be interesting for sure. I believe the NCAA is still a “good old boy” system of back scratching and ignoring offenses from their favorites and bashing others instead.

If it does go to court, the NCAA knows that when the veil falls, there will me so much dirt that no one will trust in their impartiality and that could open them up to even more lawsuits.

Unfortunately this is correct. Even moreso families want a “safe” pick as well if the money is close. Unfortunately this puts Tennessee in a tough spot either way. We’ll win in court if it goes there but it’s going to hurt us some in recruiting. Just really no other way to put it.

Every choice of school is "safe". The transfer rules remove all risk.

So are you saying the NCAA will back down on everything? I don’t see Tennessee or Virginia dropping the lawsuit at this point.
