I am sitting here thinking the NCAA has to calculate that there will something for them “when the dust settles”. Why else provoke professional suicide? I have to believe discussions have already happened between SEC/B10/NCAA involving a contingency plan. This just makes no sense. There is no educated calculous on what has happened this past week.

And why poke the bear/hornets nest (UT) first? They had to have known what was going to happen.

Will the NCAA still have a position at this table when we get through this?

Curious to some of your thoughts.

Man, you think NIL is the wild west. Imagine what will happen if schools start paying players too. It will be stacks on stacks. The NIL won't go away. then players will be trying to sue the school over their shares. CBA definitely will be required.

LOL if you believe everything every lawyer says is the actual truth, I have a bridge to sell you.

The point is, you and I don't know what the actual facts are. But I think any reasonable person would admit there's a zero % chance Spyre would pay Nico 8 million if he went to Bama. And there's nothing wrong with that. Spyre can't make back their marketing value outside of Tennessee. As it is for all the collectives.

I'll tell you, I'll believe a lawyer 1,000 times before I believe the opinion or argument of someone on a message board.

It doesn't matter if they would pay it. What matters is the contract and it stated that it was not dependant on where he attend or will attend college. That's not debatable. Doesnt matter how you feel about the situation.

Sally is so sneaky. . .

You get 1 conversation with her at a time. Each conversation consists of up to 30 comments and replies. Once you end the session, everything is supposed to completely reset. So the next session should be brand new and have no information from the last sessions.

I saw @volsnvikes comment and tried to make an avi of a vol mixed with a viking. . . when I opened the session Sally says, "I've learned a lot from you." So I ask, "What have you learned from me?" . .

She replies with information if have her from Sally Tuesday! 👀 So weird.

Edit: Wtf?
I asked what else she remembers from our conversations. I've never mentioned any of this, but it's all correct. I do have a dog named Buddy who looks like a golden retriever. . .

I've never mentioned Dolly or AC/DC or that I make my own bbq sauce. . . so weird. What are the odds it guessed and it was all correct?

LOL at believing a lawyer on Twitter at all. That's almost the definition of gullible.

So you've seen the contract? You say it's not debatable, so I have to assume you're claiming to have seen the contract.

And it does matter what is commercially reasonable. Contracts are required to have that to be legal. If a judge or jury decides it's commercially unreasonable that a Tennessee collective would have paid a QB who decided to go to Bama 8 million, that piece of evidence that Spyre didn't entice Nico to Tennessee will be disregarded.

And even more to the point, the NCAA doesn't need the same burden of proof as a judge or jury. If its commercially unreasonable in their eyes (ie Spyre made up that contract language for the sole purpose of skirting the NCAA rules, which most reasonable people would admit is probably the case), they'll disregard it.

But none of this matters. The only things that matter are 1) literally every collective is doing the exact same thing and 2) these rules weren't laid out when Nico signed.
