Recruiting Football Talk VII

[GVol1966]

the schools are the NCAA

NCAA is contractors hired by the Schools to manage and enforce rules.

Eventually the schools will realize they hired The Three Stooges and can do much better

This academic administrative lady is turning herself into a Tennessee folk legend.

She sure is. Might have to build a statue

 

[Jimmy Football]

Never a dull moment at this place.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Suicide mission by the NCAA

Beautiful.

Another one “take them to the Train Station”

I don't think political leanings matter. There was unanimous alignment in the Supreme Court against the NCAA in the Alston case. Point being...the NCAA's rules on NIL run counter to the law from just about every angle you look at it. On top if that, Spyre wrote contracts and conducted business in a way that leaves nothing for the NCAA. They're literally trying to stick their head in a guillotine.

You are right, but conservative judges favor individual rights and less regulation, generally, which is at the heart of this dispute. It does say something when the Supremes rule 9-0 on anything.

This is damn tax season.

I can’t have this much excitement going on in the off-season.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Must suck to live in an area surrounded almost entirely by dolts and idgits.

I'm very happy here. There's more of us than you think. We live quietly among you. I know many who dont want to lose friendships, or avoid confrontation.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Never a dull moment at this place.

twss

[Orange.]

We will spin this as a major positive for recruiting.

This is the way.

Individual rights and less regulation would be in favor of Tenn and VA case…this lawsuit is about student athletes right to collect NIL

Donde goes to Mars to get more candy bars. All of this orchestrated, coordinated, and oooh man it feels nice.

I Just read the 20-page pleading. I’m an attorney and regularly evaluate other attorneys’ work.
That definitely wasnt thrown together overnight. Someone has been researching, drafting, proofreading, and shopping that around for quite a while to get to the stage where it’s at.

Just wanted to say how amazed I am with the concerted response that has erupted since yesterday. Folks have been knowing this was coming and have been planning (in unison) for it.

Really don’t think the NCAA expected that. They thought they’d float out another trial balloon via Pat Forde and other clickbait media and see what kind of appreciative response it drummed up from the public.

Oops.

 

[engineerVOL]

Not that I am a fan of any dolt placed by those idgits. But, glad we are seeing action.

Really? We’re all shocked. Thanks for letting us know.

 

[vol81]

This is the way.

Exactly. We will stand up for our athletes and fight the old guard for their rights.
This is what Volunteers do!

 

[jakez4ut]

 

[engineerVOL]

He should threaten the NCAA with his Gumbo. That would make them stop the investigation

That’s cruel and unusual punishment.

Perfect.

 

[Ten_Titans]

I think there's about a 0.0001% chance Tennessee sees any kind of penalty from the NCAA out of any of this.

And obviously it sucks that we are going to once again be negatively recruited on this BS nonsense. But I can honestly see a works where this turns into a recruiting net positive. If Tennessee, either the state or the University, comes off the top rope on the NCAA and effectively bars them from policing NIL in the state or even nationwide, it really highlights Tennessee as the premier NIL player.

And I say that as not a fan of the current state of NIL whatsoever. But still.

 

[LA Vol]

Marsha Blackburn calling for Senate investigation into NCAA.

More to come. Refill your popcorn.

 

[volsagain]

These guys weren’t recruits. They were players on roster heading to media days.

Well why did Dabo tell him that our facility and that's where you'll be throwing touchdowns ?

 

[Hammer85]

When will the Project Torchbearer shirts be ready? Make it happen Spyre

 

[jakez4ut]

Fans need to leave him tf alone. He is a great dude, has played great in a ton of games, a true VFL. For them to attack him on Twitter is deplorable, childish, and just plain stupid.

Yeah, agreed. I'm not excited necessarily about his play of late... But jeez... The kid bleeds orange. He'll be great for this university long after his playing days are done and he'll be remembered fondly.

 

[drvenner]

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?

It reminded me of the sunshine law thing with Knox County Commission a number of years ago when they basically tried to put who they wanted to replace them when the state ruled that they were, in fact, term limited.
