I think the leaks are coming from the NCAA. Tennessee should subpoena their records and see if they are intentionally leaking details that harm Tennessee and circumventing their own due process. How do we get this message up the chain? I am being serious, they are clearly who leaked the info pointing towards Nico and the plane. I bet they tipped off Forde too. That's not right.
Maybe. I can also see a situation where Tennessee goes full throttle off the bat and leaks it, or at minimum is ready to go full throttle. Forde's initial article just said under investigation. Regardless, we have the upper hand at the moment.
Here's Andy Staples (who has been as consistently fair to Tennessee for the last 7 years as anyone) explaining it. He knows this stuff inside and out. Easily my favorite CFB media person.
I want scalps, y'all. I am tired of this shit. There is nothing going on at Tennessee that isn't also happening at every major college. You think foreign future NBA pros are going to little Gonzaga and eating ramen?
Wait, the head of the NCAA committee is also the president at UGA? Didn't Iamaleava get recruited by Georgia too? [uck fay]ing get this in a court room.
They are coming from the NCAA and were placed in the NYT because that is what University administrators read. (per Finbaum)
IMO they are like a petulant child throwing a temper.... WE ARE STILL RELEVANT, WE ARE STILL RELEVANT,... and they are basically getting a big [uck fay] you from everyone. I don't think that they expected that.
You can learn a lot if you read and listen to him. And he's right - the NCAA is trying for it to be 5 years ago, because otherwise....why do they exist?
You’d think a 9-0 shutout in the Supreme Court would’ve humbled them a bit…but some need their ass kicked over and over again before figuring out they’re not as tough as they thought they were.
I thought Baker was the NCAA leader? Former governor and a Harvard dude, I think. I may be misunderstanding the reference to "NCAA committee".
Alabama and Georgia have built empires cheating their balls off with total impunity and they want to scalp Tennessee for this. If I’m Danny White I’m seizing this opportunity to play dirty and burn the NCAA to the ground.
How quickly can the attorney general get involved? I really think this needs to be a shock and awe response.
From Reddit (some of you may recognize this since it was modified from another pasta): NIL RULES! IMPORTANT! 1. You can’t just be up there and just doin’ NIL like that. 1a. NIL is when you 1b. Okay well listen. NIL is when you compensate athletes for their 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. The school is not allowed to compensate the, uh, name, image, or likeness, you know, just trying to pay them. You can’t do that. 1c-b. Once the athlete is enrolled, he can’t be over here and say to the school, like, “you better pay me! You better pay me!” and then just be like he didn’t even do that. 1c-b(1). Like, if you’re about to pay the player and then don't pay , you have to still pay. You cannot not pay. Does that make any sense? 1c-b(2). You gotta be, signing the NIL deals, and then, until you just. 1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the NIL deal written here, like this, but then there’s the NCAA you gotta think about 1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. An NIL deal is when the school makes a commitment that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the image and likeness of 2. Do not do a NIL please.
If the compliance people must justify their existence, shift into monitoring for gambling/fixed games more. Shift into improving officiating. Quit trying to deprive young people of life-changing opportunities.
