Recruiting Football Talk VII

[SoilVol]

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

Yeah... what "officials" did they get that from?

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.

Can't follow a rule made in the future.

 

[MarcoVol]

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

She even references that in her letter

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

We all know what Michigan did in football under similar circumstances…..it’s time to circle the wagon and go play ball.

I don’t know, I’m not a reporter. But I certainly trust NYT more than other publications.

 

[SoilVol]

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.

You clearly didn't read Plowman's statement. And you're clearly still a crybaby lmao

VolTwitter ‘bout to get unhinged

Donde Plowman to the NCAA:

Who would Tennessee get to replace Heupel?

 

[SoilVol]

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.

According to my understanding, either that flight didn't happen as described or that was legal AT THE TIME

 

[Glitch]

Andy might just get us major sanctions...for being a complete moron.

War crimes incoming, IMO.

 

[Kurtastrophe]

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

Exactly. Completely different response this time.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

@Sally is ready!

 

[Kurtastrophe]

That requires reading the letter to notice.

NCAA dropped the ball on the NIL and Transfer Portal regulations.

Now it's pure mortal chaos. Now the NCAA is looking for a sacrificial lamb and Tennessee isn't standing for it. Good for the University to tell NCAA to screw themselves.

now do one of the NCAA lol.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

It is quite comical that the NCAA sat and watched a complex and highly coordinated sign-stealing scheme, one of the worst in the sport’s history, that directly impacted results on the field go basically unpunished while choosing to focus their efforts on going after the lawless wasteland that is NIL. These goobers have no business being in a position of power.

I don’t know, I’m not a reporter. But I certainly trust NYT more than other publications.

Even Finebaum said the NCAA leaked the article to the NYT to try to build support for their case. So all the NYT article came directly from the NCAA. Do you trust the NCAA?

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Even if Spyre flew Nico on a private jet...that's Spyre and not UT. Nico is also from California and could receive NIL payments as a high schooler...including a flight on a private jet...and it not affect his eligibility with the NCAA. The only potential issue would be him being paid directly to sign with UT, and his NIL agreement with Spyre was for them to have rights to his name, image, and likeness no matter what school he signed with. All legal and all within NCAA rules. The NCAA's argument wouldn't hold up in court...not even for a second.

the original story on his contract, states this. There is nothing tied to Tennessee with the contract.

Hope your therapist can help you work through how easily triggered you are by me. Godspeed.

The article has one quote regarding Tennessee officials. The rest of it is about what is being investigated and why it is being investigated. Whether it was a TN official or an NCAA official saying TN officials are worried isn’t made clear.

This is the hill the ncaa dies on and on that hill we build a statue of Donde Plowman.

 

[VOLociraptorr]

Today I learned that no player who finished their college career with Bama has ever scored a point in the Super Bowl

 

[Jack Burton]

Wonder if we’ll get a timeline of allegations in tonight’s bball game. Maybe a picture of a jet with Nico looking out.
