UT under potential NCAA investigation for NIL

[JustinVol]

Lucky, facts,...

Just starting a list of words you clearly don't understand

Heh, that went over your head. Clearly you didn’t understand that.

You’d really have to hope Spyre and UT would be smarter than this coming off the heels of the huge Pruitt scandal that we got by with a slap on the wrist on. I have a feeling we won’t be able to negotiate our punishment down if this has any truth to it.

Stop putting out the link cause we're giving Pat Forde, the President of the Vol Hater Club clicks.

And he's the only one left at SI. Just let him wither and die off

i am begging UT officials to tell the NCAA to pound sand. Either that or or sue them into oblivion. Im talking full discovery...everything. It's time all parties are exposed.

 

[TboneinHuntsvilleAL]

I'm with others, its time to tell the NCAA to pound sand and move on.

NIL is pretty much ungovernable. This is fhe NCAA gasping for air and looking for relevance.

 

[utvolpj]

NIL has sucked a tremendous amount of power away from the NCAA and UT is currently the big name in NIL. We won't be alone in this fight and will likely set the standard

Check out this article from Knoxville News:

Tennessee under NCAA investigation involving NIL for athletes

Tennessee, including football, under NCAA investigation involving NIL for athletes

Tennessee football is under an NCAA investigation into potential rules violations involving NIL benefits for athletes, a source told Knox News.

No it's not.

Sure it’s not

 

[TNRazor]

If this were anyone else reporting this i'd be worried but Pats always had an agenda against UT, so not worried at all

Thinking the NCAA has probably shifted all of their investigative resources to NIL. The ultimate relevance for NCAA would be to gather “evidence” and create a report for Congress showing how NIL is horrible for college athletics. They will heavily push for legislation to save their a@@es.

This will result in nothing. And the more schools that the NCAA tries to investigate, the quicker they will accelerate the process of P5 programs breaking off and forming their own league. The NCAA made their bed in NIL and has to lay in it now.

 

[Visiting Dawg]

Join the club. It’s basically everyone under investigation except Georgia and Alabama, the originators of the shadiness.

I'd say TAMU was the first major player in using NIL as a pay for play inducement.

Well guess we know what Saban has been doing these last few weeks lol...Him getting his ass kicked 2 years ago and losing Nico really rustled his short man syndrome.If there's any weight to this wouldn't surprise me one bit at all if he's let some information be known tryjn to help out his former school..I'd tell the Ncaa to suck it if we're being honest.

Spyre advertises themselves as the "most ambitious collective" so one would think they have crossed their Ts and dotted the Is. I guess we'll find out. Never a dull moment around here.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Article says we don't agree we violated anything

NCAA trying to squeeze the Genie back into the bottle!!!!!

 

[DaddyChad]

It’s been fun. If they are major violations. We are going to get hammered. Going to suck for another 10.

I don’t see coaching staff being implicated in this one. Sounds like it’s something related to NIL. That’s a legal landmine field for the ncaa to walk through.

 

[Vol4gzus]

It is in Knoxville News sentinel article on investigations into NIL abuse...

 

[jdogvol]

How does this report have any credibility? Sports Illustrated went out of business.

 

[hog88]

Going after this would likely be their end

It will be. They're attacking their cash cow and eventually that cow will run away.

 

[volmanNC]

Not again !

 

[DaddyChad]

@DaddyChad link in article

Yeah idk what happened. I posted in another thread. Guessing this one got merged. Tone of the statement from UT source sounds like this is BS.

 

[ButchPlz]

Blockhead Pat Forde hit piece, pass.

Agreed but it's just annoying how A&M, Ole Miss,Georgia, FSU etc all the big boys are deep in the NIL game but yet here we are front page again.Its Forde so I take it with a grain of salt and the way White was on top of NIL the first year based on being nervous over the Pruitt fiasco I doubt he let a bunch of major violations occur.At the same time it's just another tool for ppl to use against us in recruiting and questions coach will have to address every other day until spring time.If this turns out to be bs (Which is more than likely) I'd rake Forde and his UT hating agenda along with Knoxville news over the coals..
