UT under potential NCAA investigation for NIL

[Dadof2Vols]

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

SI about to close down and name be sold off.

All click bait

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

So the NCAA is fishing for violations to try to assert control.

I don’t see this going very far

 

[Jaws]

So the NCAA sits back and allows the Wild West West to happen with regard to NIL, they set no parameters, give no concrete guidance, and then “investigate” when teams try to be proactive and figure it out on their own. Ridiculous.

It looks like it's not even the NCAA, but the douchenozzle known as Pat Forde reporting nonsense.

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.

www.knoxnews.com

Lol of course that crap outlet would pick this nonsense up

 

[Jxn Vol]

Time to tell the NCAA to sit on it and spin.

 

[aRmo]

@DeerPark12 have you heard anything on this?

 

[freedom fighter]

Anyone else hearing the NCAA is back in Knoxville?

total lies to stir up fans that choose to worry

 

[fear]

might as well sue Forde at this point. can’t believe he still holds a grudge because we didn’t hire his boyfriend

Saw a short video about this subject but not about UT. Colorado was one of the schools in question. One of the "serious violations" is that a coach gave a recruit a ride to meeting with an NIL collective. They didn't talk about NIL or anything related to it. He simply gave the kid a ride.

The NCAA is basically in death throes. They're determined to find a way to be relevant in a world where they aren't. They're trying to play "tough guy" when really they should be working with programs to adapt and reorganize. It is only a matter of time before someone calls their bluff.

I was under the impression UT had a high-dollar, top-notch AD who would be on top of this stuff and ensure it didnt happen again.

Jumping off the bandwagon? Battered Vol Syndrome much? I man, Pat Forde is the messenger....

Exactly. Tennessee and Florida will not be the only SEC schools on the NCAA Radar in the upcoming days/weeks. Its only a matter of time before the SEC just bands together and calls their bluff. The Super conferences have to much power now.

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.

Smarter than what? Sounds like they feel we didn’t violate any rules.


People on here complaining Spyre not doing anything. Now complaining they’re doing too much.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

So Tennessee is deep into a "major" investigation with the NCAA but the "details are scarce"? Not saying the NCAA isn't sniffing around but it also sounds like someone has an agenda and is trying to get clicks.

The Vols and their 5-star QB are under the NCAA's microscope.

Funny

 

[Volsinnash]

What is this?

Apparently everyone here can’t read. It literally says in the article no charges have been brought. It’s clickbait. Forde and Wolken are long known Vol haters.

 

[AllThingsTN]

What is going on with the NCAA now? Trying to show they still have power? Went after FSU, went after Florida, now this?

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Wake me up when an actual reporter reports something because Forde isn't it.

He's been taking pot shots at the Vols ever since he slobbered over Rick Pitino....beacon of virtue that he is... and wrote a book with him in 2008.

Well known feud with Bruce Pearl.

Took shots at the Vol fan base over the Schiano debacle last year IIRC etc etc.

Forde has an agenda and sucks...plain and simple.

As for the NCAA, screw these guys.

They can play Barney Fife over TN handing out some cash with happy meals but turns a blind eye when Bama has a guy implicated in a murder since he is a lottery pick. Just completely arbitrary BS.

[Gandalf]

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

Its almost like what the NCAA wants to punish is schools who are using the above board NIL vs the shady booster system like Bama and Georgia.

How on earth can NCAA penalize schools for NIL anyway? The whole point of NIL is it technically has nothing to do with the school.

 

[COOKEVOL]

And that from Barrett Sallee, who is NOT a Tennessee fan by any stretch of the imagination.

 

[djwes]

I hope Pat Forde dies of ass cancer, and his rotting corpse is defiled by foreign terrorists.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

"potential"

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

I swear we can never have even one offseason without sh1t hitting the fan in one way or another.
