Recruiting Football Talk VII

[GoodTimeVol]

There’s no way to spin this as a positive considering we never do the LSU or UNC thing. We will bend over again and lose everything before we ever give the NCAA the finger.

The chancellor of the University statement clearly shows you are wrong here…

 

[RikidyBones]

The article by NYT specifically says “TN officials are worried it could result in postseason ban or disqualifying players”.

They can't do anything about it. The school didn't pay for it. Can a training company not pay for flights to schools? Pretty sure they can. This is no different

She said a whole lot of nothing.

So this is very targeted. Let’s find one thing we can nail them for to prevent Nico from playing. This would have happened while he was being recruited and during the prior investigation. I guess Nico will have to donate the cost of fuel to a charity. Just asinine stuff to keep us from competing.

But if the group, Spyre in this case, paid Nico to come here prior to him committing, then that’s where we could be in trouble, at least according to this article. So far this one has given the most in-depth information as to what’s going on.

Whatever happens, we’re not rolling over on this. The only person that was in favor of rolling over last time has been pissed off by the NCAA too many times for that to happen again.

maybe this one of the allegations Plowman said is "factually untrue"

That doesn't make sense. Spyre is not Tennessee. They can fly whoever they want to wherever they want.

Oh shut up

 

[Orange_Crush]

That is a shot across the bow. She mentioned the NIL case they lost and alluded to future lawsuits that they don't want.

I suspect the NCAA thought UT, fresh off of investigations and under sanctions, would be a sitting duck for them ti bully and set example. Looks like UT is readying for war instead. Good. I'd like our school to be the bell cow that toppled the NCAA.

 

[GoodTimeVol]

If you actually read the statement she just told the ncaa we did nothing wrong, not sure what your definition of nothing is but that is something to me

 

[JT3]

That’s a violation of Tennessee state law.

Yea Nico is in no danger of being rule ineligible.

NCAA cant pass regulations then go back and try to enforce them after the fact. These NIL deals happened before the NCAA set any regulation.

Action items:

1. Donate to Spyre
2. End the NCAA
3. Donde Plowman meets @Christian Lowe over the middle.

Am I missing anything?

She said the allegations are factually untrue and said the NCAA was failing.

Not sure how anyone could think she’s about to roll over on this.

I think I’d win that Oklahoma drill

 

[Palm Beach Vol]

Donde with Smokey tearing down the NCAA !

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

That doesn't make sense. Spyre is not Tennessee. They can fly whoever they want to wherever they want.

So if Spyre actively recruits a player, say Nico, and then we sign that player, Nico, then we in effect have broken the guidelines.

To be clear, I don’t think we did anything wrong. But I’m playing the NCAA argument here based on reporting and their guidelines.

 

[Christian Lowe]

She said the allegations are factually untrue and said the NCAA was failing.

Not sure how anyone could think she’s about to roll over on this.

Look at every statement we’ve ever made at the start of an investigation. “We’ll fight this, the allegations are unfounded, blah blah blah”

Gonna be difficult to retroactively apply guidelines. Seems like a losing court case.

Looks to me like we’re giving them the finger this time

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

And that, in effect, is what Donde is arguing. They gave us guidelines, then changed them halfway through, then court battles changed them again, making those guidelines effectively mute. Thus, this is all BS.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Look at every statement we’ve ever made at the start of an investigation. “We’ll fight this, the allegations are unfounded, blah blah blah”

That’s patently false. The last time Donde came out and immediately admitted serious wrongdoing and said we would self-investigate.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

agree, and I think that’s ultimately what Donde is arguing for in her letter.

Donde Plowman stated in her reply that the NCAA had falsehoods in some of their allegations. The plane ride may be one of their lies.
