UT under potential NCAA investigation for NIL

[DaddyChad]

@DeerPark12 have you heard anything on this?

May not be able to comment yet. This sounds like an early stage witch hunt.

How did we get lucky? It was a negotiated settlement

Agree. “We” did not get lucky. “We” paid a huge price to settle - financial, reputation, image, etc.

 

[UTK]

It’s nothing lol. “Nil Violations” lmao

We didn't have to pay a buyout nor did we get hit with a bowl ban. We got very lucky!

We got very lucky.. if this had happened when Ala was getting buried back in the 80s and 90s we would have been nailed. This was a slap on the wrist and the money is irrelevant. And 2 schollys a year is nothing!

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.

Got any specifics on how UGA and Bama are using shady NIL practices because from everything I've read, Bama and UGA have 2 of the most conservative NIL programs.

Pat Forde deserves to be sued, he is a total fraud as a journalist. GBO

Luck means it happened by chance. We had leaders who negotiated a settlement. They're not remotely the same

Don’t have to throw a lot of money for people that want to play for championship teams.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

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.

Also sounds like UT said show me the “Black and White“ rules! Hey NCAA you didn’t write any because they will get overthrown in court.

This seems like an attempt to put the toothpaste back into the tube

Yeah, lucky they agreed to it

If they're winning, they're paying. Let's act like thinking adults here

Bama tampered with domani jackson as he was at a 8 am bama practice the day after he entered the portal. Georgia is clean but bama is not

The next step you’re going to see is that state legislatures are going to pass laws stating the NCAA has no authority to affect state schools.

Hopefully nothing major comes of this. The problem is that it creates negative headlines that will be used against us in recruiting. Shame to see our recruiting lose some steam when things seems to be going great.

"Tennessee is paying too much money to recruits"

Yeah I can see that being a negative in recruiting

 

[MissionRidgeVol]

CBS Sports reporting it’s partially over Nico’s NIL deal.

Snore…..

Tennessee under NCAA investigation related to potential NIL violations across multiple sports

The Volunteers wrapped up a separate major infractions case less than a year ago

No one is clean. Don’t forget Pruitt was at Georgia for a while also; was one of their “best” recruiters. Also was at Florida State.

We got off really light with Pruitt stuff. We were proactive enough to keep the NCAA from asking "the next question"...

Just in time for signing day. lol, you can't make this stuff up!!

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

NICE!

Seems to be all this is about honestly. This class had the potential to be special.

At least it wasn't right before early signing day

Haha, a positive for sure.
