Ya think? NCAA has been put on notice (multiple times) especially related to College football. They don't seem to be very maze-bright as we would say in the corporate world.
Bookmark what I'm about to type here. For a minute let's just assume without any doubt that we emerge from this victorious and unscathed by the NCAA through whatever means, reformed NCAA or new organization or just join the NFL, whatever. When whatever CFB reality emerges from this has its first setback, problem, scandal, or such, Tennessee will be blamed for it over and over again because we just didn't want to face the consequences for cheating. The columns write themselves for the Fordes, Wolkens, and so on, and they will not be shy about them.
That did not have the catchy ring. Then again, I never was very good at that sort of thing. So I am gonna bookmark the "they can all kiss our asses" if it is OK. In fact, if I was not going to be reduced to ashes and stuck in a cubbyhole, that would make a helluva thing to put on a headstone.
Someone posted it as a joke but we need to do a Vol Walk on Feb 13 for the TN and VA AGs going to the federal courthouse in GreenEville.
Winning will silence all that noise. If we can keep competent leadership here and continue signing top classes, program perception will be fine. I just hate this for Nico and really hope he pans out to be an all-American and franchise pro. For better or worse, he may be the player remembered for tearing down the NCAA.
Those guys are alone in this. And as soon as they don’t need to kiss NCAA ass for sources, they won’t care either.
Watching those nerds laugh about his name and the allegations and response from admin was like watching the scene in Titanic where the band is playing as the ship sinks. They'll be the first to drown and they don't even realize it.
UT admin will be credited with tearing down the NCAA. Although through their own volition, the NCAA cut its own throat. No need to hope in regards to Nico. The dude is an absolute stud. Think Bryce Young at 6'6".
I mean, someone is planning to try it https://x.com/bigorangepunch/status/1753606489317552424?s=46&t=ye1GoOVws84xQM616Eruug
