Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Volator]

The media support behind all of this is wild. I thought we would be painted differently.

I think everyone except the NCAA know they suck!

I liked it "hidden."

Back in the day when it was dropped off in a duffle bag?

 

[GoodTimeVol]

So, part of the NCAA allegations involves Sprye flying Iamaleava to Knoxville? I'm sure that hasn't happened with any other school, right? And yes, Tennessee didn't fly him in.

Yeah it’s just a dumb argument for the NCAA to classify Spyre which is privately owned business as “boosters” to the University.

Their argument if reports are true is Spyre used a private jet to take Nico to Knoxville which in their minds is considered a impermissible benefit from a booster.

Can’t wait to see them argue the merits of how a privately owned business who was granted access to a privately owned jet should be considered a impermissible benefit against a University who has no control over said privately owned business or jet will be received in a courtroom

Something about those three year olds. I’m exhausted even when I’m asleep due to mine.

I get pumped up when playing. Then fifteen minutes later i'm wanting to lay down. i'm usually good for a few books, sometimes I can get couple hundred pages done.

But then im out.

 

[UTK]

NCAA is cooked lmao. Long overdue and glad we’re the ones to lead the charge.

Evergreen, but worth repeating:

Brian Bosworth did nothing wrong.

I know it’s not just about this, but man, Nico has to feel so supported by everything going on. The NCAA is trying to come for him, and the whole damn state put their fists up.

 

[Glitch]

That last part... That's important.

 

[KptVFL]

More to come. Refill your popcorn.

This is getting good!

 

[UTProf]

Let’s raise h&ll!!!

This is sadly very, very, true. We are built for war and destruction. lol.

 

[engineerVOL]

Y’all need to sit back and realize the significance of what we are seeing. This is history in the making and the University of Tennessee is leading the charge. The days of being drug through the mud on and off the field are over.

This may be a big ploy of self destruction, using Tennessee’s passion and fortitude to upend the AA, concerted by Saban and select AA officials be the create a new football league with Saban crowned as the commissioner. @LA Vol tell me I’m wrong.

@frank, please take this down. @Jackcrevol proves that not all communists are against athletes.

The NCAA is arrogant and accustomed to acting with impunity. They went after UT hard and seemed to feel UT did not get what was coming to it from the first investigation. Branding UT a repeat offender opened the door for stiffer penalties. They could punish UT, throw their weight around on NIL and make an example of a big, powerful program to show other programs they are in control-- three birds, one stone. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And sooner or later, someone isn't going to take it any more.

The NCAA got blindsided on this one. Politicians do not move this quickly unless they have their ducks in a row. NCAA's move was anticipated and out flanked.

There is a certain irony in going after a place whose famous song is partially about disappearing investigators who come snooping around.

We've never hidden who we were.

It’s not irony, it’s poetry.

Well, not to sound too much like Ayn Rand, but the ability to create ex post facto laws gives authority to make anyone a criminal at any given time, for any given reason. The desire to create ex post facto laws indicates the motive to make someone a criminal.

 

[rikberry31]

What in the actual f'n hell is the NCAA thinking? The Supreme Court is going to DESTROY them..whatever few schools are behind this will find themselves complete and utter outcasts with no home and no money..

This is the height of pure stupid hubris...they are all idiots.

This is their last frontal assault offensive, but like the generals of the First World War, they don't realize that their outdated tactics are doomed by new technology.

What's up guys? Anything been going on recently?
