State of Tennessee Wins the Injunction

[BigALWiLson]

We're not going to see a holding call against an opponent all year

What changed ?

 

[Smallvol#1]

I think NCAA’s Baker has a point. Per ESPN “Baker told ESPN that he didn't think the NCAA was ignoring reality by asking athletes to pick their schools based on academic and athletic opportunities and worry about NIL opportunities after they arrive.” I mean don’t you base job searches on location, benefits, etc? Don’t worry about the salary until after you accept the job and report to work. That’s the way we always did it. Never worried about the dollars. The potential student athletes don’t need to consider the money, just their academic and athletic opportunities, ‘cause we all know they use those degrees after graduation and never get career ending injuries.

 

[Godfatha]

Not that my take matters in the least, but it seems to me they shouldn't.

That being said, the sanctimonious jackasses will probably push this as far as they can instead of cutting their losses.

They’ll probably get UT retroactively for decorating a players hotel room

 

[Redleg68]

The NCAA is not winning, whether it’s a slow roast or quick burn. If they were smart they would announce defeat and try to work toward a fair and straightforward system. Their claws have been cut down to the quick. Do they want to work with the major conferences or fight em. If they try to fight at this point the big boys will just leave and form a new governing body. For the NCAA to save any face they beat drop this and work with the schools. There days of supreme rule are over one way or the other. GBO

Pay close attention to what comes out of The SEC/Big 10 meeting.

Improper benefits in the form of extra pillows and towels.

 

[Mccage]

I bet ol’ Pat didn’t break this news!

There a few on here that also has reservations at Ravens!!

[Ratvol]

Don‘t mess with Big Orange.

 

[S.C. OrangeMan]

It's not a Constitutional issue, it's a statutory one.

Antitrust regulations limiting unpaid players' ability to earn side I cine from NIL???

That an entirely different kettle of fish from unionized, paid professionals.

It smacks of indentured servitude. 13th Amendment language. There are lawyers that are going to argue that angle if it goes that far.

People thought that Tennessee/Va would lose?

He could have been POTUS with that bull$hit

The judge said in denying the temporary restraining order that the “plaintiffs are likely to win based on the filings” he’d read thus far. The hearing lasted 70 minutes so there was almost no chance that anything occurred in it to change the judges initial statement. He saw the issues from the start & said such.

 

[vegasvolfan]

Can someone break down what this means for the NCAA case and for Tennessee moving forward? More cases to come or does the NCAA back off?

I’m working on getting you an explanation. I read one, but not so sure it’s accurate. It seems to me that the NCAA either is trying to enforce new rules that are not yet legally legit and are pending an appeal, or that there will be another ruling should the NCAA appeal. The latter means it’s a little early for celebration, but it’s a positive sign for Tennessee and all impacted by the NCAA’s recent efforts. The latter of which is my take so far.

 

[TartanTurff]

The NCAA had an opportunity to regulate NIL 4 years ago, chose not to, looked to Congress to provide the legislative framework around it, Congress had enough problems without worrying about rules regarding 18 - 19 years olds becoming millionaires and the NCAA structural house (association) was not in order and is still not in order, such that from a regulatory framework they are done in Division I College Football and as soon as an alternative to the NCAA basketball tournament is in place, they are done in Division I College Basketball and in all likelihood completely done as they will have no revenue to support their ongoing operations/investigations/ongoing activities. Turn out their lights, the party is over.

Lets hope the SEC gets its house in order to avoid the framework which has periled the NCAA and put it in a position where it lost or had to settle every federal antitrust lawsuit brought against it and has administratively put itself into the trash heap of irrelevant and unnecessary academic regulatory agencies.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Time for lawmakers to step in and end the NIL and portal madness before it is too late.

Ain’t any lawmaker going to touch this with a ten foot pole. The NCAA missed their opportunity to get consistent and sane rules years ago. Don’t expect Congress to pull their bacon out of the fire for them.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Hey NCAA

 

[turbovol]

What exactly has UT won? The chance to out-bribe all the other majors for high-school prospects? Good luck with that. Vol fans seem to have deluded themselves into thinking that NIL in recruiting is going to give us some sort of competitive advantage. Seriously? You think Georgia, Bama, OSU, Florida, Michigan and all the rest are going sit around whistling Dixie while we buy a national title team? Ha, ha. A&M just spent $76 million to fire a coach. Every major and their fans are insane, and nobody is getting a competitive advantage. It's a fool's game, a corrupt game, and it will turn high-school prospects into cynical mercenaries.

The judge's ruling is nonsense. His legal point about anti-trust is only relevant because the schools were stupid and opted to drag NIL into recruiting. It wasn't conceived to be used to bribe prospects. Had none of the schools formed collectives and starting throwing money at pimply prospects--half of whom won't even pan out in college--none of this would be an issue.

At the end of the day, it will be a huge waste of money--and there will be a lot of 3rd-string safeties laughing at all the money their making for spending one hour a month walking around a shopping mall and signing 5 autographs. Damn: Everybody thought they'd be good players, but turns out, they weren't.

But if you guys want to cash out your 401K's to try and help our collective sign that tight end from Indiana--who says that if we just boost our bribe by 25 percent, we'll jump into his top 5, well go for it. If it doesn't work out, you'll still have your cars to sleep in.

Would you rather ut watch as the NCAA smacks their ass and takes away everything the football program has worked so hard to get over the last three years. You would rather UT get bent over and lose everything over this outcome? If you believe that as a vol fan then you are not right in the head

 

[madbamahater]

The great fans of the University of Tennessee salute Jonathan Skrmetti, Dondi Plowman and especially the Federal Judge.

Tonight, everywhere, Bama fans are stewing mad, pissed off and having a very bad night.

We ALL know who was behind this anyway. Laugh out loud in your ignorant ass faces, Alabubba.

So waiting for legal explanation from family I found this : TN, VA Win Injunction Over NCAA In Landmark NIL Case

Seems like it’s a little bit of both. While the NCAA can appeal the ability to enforce the rules they tried to retroactively enforce on Tennessee and others in the future, It looks as though all schools are in the clear or (at least Tennessee is) facing any penalties for previous actions, and can continue to act as they have been, unless a rolling occurs that prevents them from being able to do so in the future.

Wah wah, go cry yourself a river! Nobody wants a advantage we want a equal playing field. We don’t need no dadgum advantage. The NCAA could have prevented this years ago by coming up with a solution. You seem to think the NCAA is some moral compass of integrity for all to follow. Again go cry your drivel all the way to the river with the NCAA. GBO

And way better ones than him.
