Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I recently heard Jope Pate say that Congress is ready to get involved.
I hate to see government sink their slimy meat hooks into anything, but it is apparent that the governing bodies of college athletics won't take the initiative to get a handle on this situation.
Yep. Listened to that clip today.

Why would the government need to be involved?
 
I've got a good friend couple of 30+ years who I worked with in the 80's and 90's and now we attend the same church. His wife has been battling cancer for the last 14 months and he has served as her primary caregiver. She was finally strong enough to come to Easter service Sunday morning. I found out this morning that he suffered a heart attack Monday morning and passed away. He loved hunting, fishing and everything Vols. My wife and I are floored by the news and would appreciate all prayers for his wife and two daughters.

Prayers for your friend’s wife and girls! May the Lord’s grace and mercy abound to them during this terribly difficult time.
 
Not intended to be a belligerent answer, but you would have to ask them that.
There is no longer a governing body in college athletics. The NCAA is now a toothless tiger and it has left a void.

Yeah I get that, just not sure what it has to do with the gov’t.

Not even trying to a smartazz, legit don’t understand the reasoning.
 
You’ve seen Staley in a lot of practices?

Unproven does not mean bad.

I hear you on the depth. So what do you want? A guy that will push either MM or Staley to the portal or a depth piece from the portal that doesn’t exist?
And that’s where the issues lie, because it’s a double edged sword with getting a wr for depth vs a wr that may push mm/stayley out. Personally, I would look for a 1-2 year guy that could be a 4th or someone to roll with Brazzell/mm, then get an extra wr or two in the ‘26 to build the depth and then we can keep the guys we have because of seniority
