    This case may well be the kill shot.

    I wondered why I suddenly got an erection 30 minutes ago.

    This has been needed for years, and I am glad my Alma Mater was the one to get it done.

    Ok need a layman’s summarization as to what this means.

    NCAA NIL rules are unenforceable until the trial or lawsuit is settled. And Tennessee/Virginia have zero reason to back an inch.

    Tennessee is protected from penalties regarding NIL until this case ends, which will be months. At the moment, the judge is indicating Tennessee is likely going to win on the merits.

    The NCAA has some options: drop the investigation into Tennessee completely, continue to fight to retain its NIL rules and wait to proceed with the investigation until after the case concludes, or continue to fight to retain its rules and shift the focus to this being a booster thing rather than an NIL thing.

    Regardless, Tennessee is dragging their nuts across the NCAA's face and it is highly likely that if they try to shift to this being a booster thing, an even bigger court showdown will materialize and the come-uppance will again ratchet up because then we could be seeing individuals AND the state AND the school seeking DAMAGES.

    All JMO and from my non-lawyer understanding, with a little prognosticating. The nuts across the face is very real, though.

    I guarantee you this man is locked and loaded if the NCAA shifts this to a booster rather than NIL thing:

    Does this mean that they will come after us for cookie cakes in the hotel room now?

    Gets a win? LOL. It's over. The NCAA will leak they've stopped investigating UT and are looking to reform NIL rules again.

    The NIL attorney/professor Paul Finebaum is talking to, Darren Heitner, is painting an even bleaker picture than I thought. The NCAA can NOT go after boosters while this injunction is in place. They're [uck fay]ing dead in the water. Freedom rings.

    What the hell is the difference between the owner of Shoneys giving an NIL and a "booster" giving an NIL? What even is a booster now? NCAA is toast and trying to turn the clock back to 1957.

    Well, it ain't happening. Good riddance you sorry sacks of shit that couldn't even enforce the rules when they were enforceable.

    Unless it was Tennessee. [uck fay] em, hope their rotting corpse can be seen and smelled all the way from Indianapolis.
