It's been working the internets that Miami has been upping the bid for the kid over the last week. Miami and Tennessee sites both saying Miami was offering the most money.
If you were 18 and not already a UT fan, and had no other ties to the state, would you rather live in Miami or Knoxville?
It's going to be hard, I think. Looking at the NIL posts on the idiot site, VN, there's a lot of "I'm not paying to ruin the game" type shit being said and I know Spyre doesn't have nearly the funds of an Ohio State, Texas, or Miami.
They were only able to pay out $3 million in the first year across the entire AD. That’s why I’m skeptical that there’s much truth to the “Nico got $8 million” story.
Sounds like we are [uck fay]ed then. Basketball recruiting started trending in the wrong direction as well for the next class after we landed Phillips.
I kinda thought Tennessee fans were sufficiently crazy and invested that this would help us, but I suppose there’s something to be said for sheer alumni count
They are crazy, but a lot of the 'necks still believe in the mythology of the game, the parts which haven't been true for decades. They pine for the days of the 1950s and the love of the U. "If he doesn't love Tennessee, then we don't want him" nonsense.
