Recruiting Football Talk VII

About 15 pages behind but just got an alter that Tennessee AG is suing NCAA

That’s a bison, not a bull. I believe you meant to use this emoji: . Maybe lay off the sour mash and stick with water for a few days. Based on your posting trend lately, you gotta detox. I may also recommend CBD, it may help mellow you out. Sorry you’re triggered by someone saying they trust the NYT over a schmuck like Pat Forde.

Edit: you also misspelled Ulysses E. McGill. If you’re going to attempt to play the Soggy Bottom Boys fanboy, at least get it right.

Did you notice you didn’t get a single like on this post? Bye troll

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Does it really take a huge leap of faith to think this stuff trickles all the way down to officials?

Only if you are a blind fool.

 

[LA Vol]

I'll add this, I don't think Donde gives two mouse excrements what Sanke thinks. I don't think she's seeking the approval of anyone outside of the Tennessee family.

She has his support. It's all coming from higher, though. Boyd has been an exceptional leader when UT needed one. That goes for the entire admin, working together with widespread support throughout the state and CFB landscape. UT is not standing alone-- they made sure of that. Go Vols!

You realize there’s bigger news dropping today than the difference between how one uses emojis, right? Me and the other guy dropped it and have moved on because that’s what you do on message boards. I recommend you do the same.

Go Vols! F the NCAA!

 

[Ttucke11]

I love after all the crap we've been through that we are going to be the ones to kill the NCAA. It's destiny.

So does that mean we can expect other states jumping in on the suit?

 

[Nash_Vol97]

It's unfinished business. The first investigation ended but it wasn't over.

I do not think they will drop it because of a strongly worded letter. Get your popcorn.

It's already a legal process. The chancellor is fronting it, and she's very good at that. You don't write a letter like that without a legal strategy in play. And you don't go public without support behind you.

UT is on top of this NCAA investigation. Admin knew it was coming, and it was inevitable. The NCAA thought UT was not punished sufficiently last year, they did not like the support UT brought in and they were not through with UT. UT did not appreciate the way the NCAA said one thing and did another, and UT admin did not appreciate the late add-ons.

Everybody put a good public face on it, but neither side was happy with the other or the outcome of the investigation. Coming after UT as a repeat offender was always going to happen. The NCAA wanted to make an example out of big powerful school, and UT has been painted as a rogue program in multiple sports. (Hint: baseball.) This is unfinished business, and UT is prepared to finish it.

I'm curious how/why it was inevitable. The NCAA knows it's on dangerous footing per the courts. They should know that coming after UT as repeat offenders is basically, needlessly cornering a dangerous and wounded animal that will fight existentially.

I'm not sure how the NCAA could do a risk/reward analysis and think, "Yep. We have to do this. It's inevitable".

ETA: Not questioning you. I appreciate the info.

I just think ol Skanks is just jumping on the the winning team's bus. If the winds were blowing in the other direction, he'd be throwing us under the bus. Jmo

Sounds like it’s only a matter of time before more states act

 

[drvenner]

i mean, im ready for someone to sue the ever loving ****ing **** out of the NCAA. I dont even care any more.

It will be us after the NCAA tries to state that Nico is ineligible.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That is some awfully shortsighted thinking on their part.

Not if you are a fan of one the Golden Chosen few....this will end their monopoly on being the only ones to cheat and pay players under the table with impunity.

Do we get a banner? When do we get our rings?

 

[vol9799]

We don’t even need throwin’ mustard this time.

Funny you mention that. Ultimately, that is what's been wrong with the NCAA and college officiating for so long. They are more concerned at stopping behavior that calls attention to their corruption and incompetence than stopping either corruption or incompetence.

 

[KB5252]

That's the rumor

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Well, Christian, you took a pretty big L on this one.

But don’t worry, you’re not going home empty handed. For participating, you’ll receive a one year’s supply of Rice-a-Roni and the VolNation.com home game!

Its amazing that he never gets tired of being wrong 99% of the time,

 

[Glitch]

LFG!!!

It feels great having an administration that’s ready to fight!View attachment 616398

 

[csprig9]

Doesn’t seem like a coincidence that we were fined a random 8 million now as part of the last investigation lol
I always wondered how they got that number and now the tea leaves are showing it

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

People are gonna kill me for saying this, and I can’t speak regarding Boss Nick, but I believe Donde has Greg Sankey’s blessing on this.

I will believe it when I see it..

 

[GoodTimeVol]

It will be us after the NCAA tries to state that Nico is ineligible.

We wouldn’t take the punishment and continue playing him, that’s what the lawsuit is for…

 

[Nash_Vol97]

The lawsuit might say the state of Tennessee and Virginia against the NCAA currently, but just wait. By the end of this, I expect we see A LOT more states on that lawsuit with us.

 

[GoodTimeVol]

I will believe it when I see it..

LA Vol pretty much confirmed it

 

[Playdo]

I like this from an outside observer.

 

[Jimmy Football]

I will believe it when I see it..

Hey, I get it.
