Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Weezer]

The NCAA should publicly apologize to the University of Tennessee, lift all of our previous sanctions and restrictions, and agree to investigate Georgia and Alabama. Throw in the new NCAA President publicly kissing Donde Plowman's ass. If all of these things happen, we will agree not to end them.

 

[UTProf]

You're assuming credible evidence. UT Chancellor is claiming that the NCAA is trying to enforce rules after the fact.

If UT broke the rules at the time, then so be it. But you seem to be the only one here willing to assume that, especially considering that the Nico NIL contract was signed while the NCAA was in its post-SCOTUS NIL silent period where they neglected to make rules.

After Nico's contract (perhaps in response to it), they came out with guidelines. Then they started back-washing rules.

This is the part where I have a big problem with the NCAA.... you can't punish a "crime" that wasn't a "crime" the day it was committed. The NCAA absolutely panicked and ran to congress to save them while schools did everything in the world because the NCAA left an unregulated void. That void needed regulation and still does but you can't go back in time and apply new rules to past events.

Anybody have more info on this voice vote re presumption of guilt by only 23 member institutions as part of a special proceeding? That’s shady as hell. Is there info on who the 23 institutions were?

You mean, for instance, whether the Chair of the NCAA Board of Directors -- Jere Morehead, the President of the University of Georgia --approved it?

 

[Orange.]

This got buried in the news by "somehow" being released the day Saban retired and then "somehow" altogether forgotten by the press. Haven't heard whether Morehead has the NCAA looking into it.

Hate for the NCAA reaches across every aisle.

 

[DD4ME]

The whole world knew this battle was coming. Leave it to the volunteers to lead the charge.

 

[Jimmy Football]

It’s like the damn Twilight Zone.

Definitely. I was fully prepared to circle the wagons against the Fourth Estate, but so far, they appear to be mostly sympathetic.

I think he works in Entertainment business… in LA.

I guess it’s possible, but he didn’t go radio silent today - he’s been gone for a minute.

I thought he had done some work for the department before, but that might have been fiction.

 

[DD4ME]

It's all such a tangled web.

 

[Orange.]

The absolute last thing in the universe the NCAA wants to do is get back in front of the Supreme Court of the United States.

LFG!

Seriously, that's why they are recruiting members of Congress -- the biggest bag game in the land! -- to write laws for them to shield them from Constitutional protections.

 

[engineerVOL]

I’m a bit shocked how much media support we have.

They picked a fight they can’t win. And everyone wants to see the NCAA get a noogie.

 

[engineerVOL]

Just saw Plowman's letter. I have absolutely no worry after reading that. Thank God she is at UT.

You wouldn’t trust Jimmy Cheeks?!

Let this serve as cautionary tale of how spiteful Sally can be when you ban her from the RF.

I think it’s time for an AI of Big Donde wielding a spire and slaying the ‘AA dragon.

It's all such a tangled web.

That's clever, they're basing the reasonableness of the contract on his joining the nfl instead of an ncaa team to avoid ncaa saying they recruited him to Tennessee.

Strains credulity since they're called the volunteer club, but maybe it'll hold up.

It will be messy. The whole NIL thing is.

[screenthis]

I agree with Josh Pate. I do want enforcement. I do want clearly defined, enforced guidelines. That is not what is going on with the NCAA. Let the war go on.

Was Saban ever investigated for major violations.

Not that I am aware.
