Best Of

Mike used to cover tenn football so his heart evidently is still there.

This is a good baseball team, but to compete with the best, we need to get some pitching.

College football is out of control. One year free agency and no way to ensure continuity..They want alums to contribute what they’ve been giving for scholarships, facilities and coaches’ salaries plus now fund massive NIL. 

Maybe it’s time to go to an Ivy League model and let the NFL fund its own farm system.

I don't get you, Mike. He was getting $8 M. He abandoned his team.

Go, Dawgs!

All this NIL and TP and really even Coaches salaries problems can be laid right at the feet of the NCAA and the Conference Commissioners. They Could have fixed these things years and years ago. And Yes they were aware. Yes they saw it coming. But they sat on their lazy duffs and read sports magazines ( or maybe girlie magazines) and Did Nothing !!

Now a Pandora’s Box has been opened and CFB is a hot sticky mess. And it’s gonna take Tons of negotiating with all interested parties including the army of lawyers and politicians to sort out all this goo . In my view the term “ student athlete “ is becoming very hypocritical very fast. Yes I Know there are some brilliant students on the football team but they are the exception not the rule. For proof of that just listen to most of them when they do an interview.

I don’t know all the nuances of What they need to do but they better proceed Wisely but Quickly. Usually Wisely and Quickly dont tend to mix to well, about like mixing water and oil. So where does the $$$ originate that supports these programs ? Fans. Rich fans, middle class fans, and even poor fans.

I don’t know what it will take or how long, but I believe it Is Possible to turn off enough Fans that the $$$ will dry up and CFB will die. And it’s a sad and tragic thing because the highly paid and quite snobbish people that Could have fixed it years ago, Didn’t !!

Just think No G-Day on TV !! Soon and very soon might not be a G-Day at all !! They have and are killing the sport I was So passionate about. Thanks Allot. 😡 P.S. This is a bit of a reflection of our society now. Pay me !! But you haven’t done the job yet !! I Know but Pay Me !! You might get a decent job done or it might be a nightmare but be assured they want their Pay !! Double 😡😡

Nico was making good money to take those hits Mike.

Guys like Nico are getting it now. They know the NFL isn’t in their future and I don’t blame him, but

I’m glad Tennessee didn’t cave in.

Hard to get through and painful to read. Guess while the wide receivers work, you refuse to do anything to improve your craft.

I noetaced dat. Dey spelt surownding rong.

Agree with everything said by other posters below.

MG wants to shame UFK for how they handled this thing.

Sorry as much as I regurgitate at even thought of supporting the coaches

of Delusional Tech @ Obknoxvile, I think they did the right thing.

Tired of the "negotiating" their deals (contracts). THIS IS NOT THE NFL!

He is an average at best Primadona….

As I take it, the article states Nico was asking for the equivalent of what Beck received as compensation. Nico has won nothing in college, except a few regular season games, no SEC titles, or playoff wins, unlike Beck. Nico making the demand to be paid the same as Beck is comical, to say the least. NIL has made average players feel they should be compensated at the very highest level..prime example: Nico Imaleavin. Kudos to UT for standing up and not meeting his outrageous, unproven demands 👏
