OT: Tennessee QB out

[TL1961]

Some clearly are. You are confusing the stars with everyday guys that transfer for better opportunities to start and play.

So, the explosion in transfers is not related to NIL?

Not entirely. NIL was 2021. Immediate eligibility after transfers was 2024 and that is when it exploded.

If you keep NIL but remove immediately eligibility then transfer would drop significantly. If you remove NIL but keep immediate eligibility then a lot of people are still going to transfer if they aren't happy.

UNC just had a Purdue QB join us in winter portal who is leaving in spring portal because we are expected to sign Gio Lopez. He isn't leaving for money. He is leaving for opportunity.

Give him credit. Not many people will admit that they deserve a pay cut. Tennessee‘s defense and running game carried the team last year and UCLA has neither of those. Good luck!

I think the OC is a first time play caller too.

I’m not suggesting it’s 100% due to NIL only. Of course not. There were transfers before NIL. My point is that it has been an explosion due to the relaxing of the transfer rules, of course but also now kids who are happy and have been treated well and have been playing regularly at one school transfer to another over money alone.

I don’t blame them. I blame the system.

Still so sure about that?! Word on the street is the schools interested are waiting him out till he’s willing to play for around a million bucks. Which, I believe is roughly 40% of what he was going to make this year at Tennessee

Or, halve.

His Dad just could be the linchpin of one of the greatest contract f ups of all time

Could hurt him even more when he eventually declares.

Someone did a study of what he actually makes after taxes in California, and it came out around $880k-ish I think.

Yep, meanwhile no state income tax over here on Rocky Top!

Yes it was sooooooooooo much better when teams like alabama could just recruit the absolute best players year after year after year after year after year so these 'college athletes' that don't give a damn about school could pretend to attend classes and get their free ride while the NCAA literally made billions of dollars off of their backs lmao.

College football from roughly 2000 to 2010's was a trash product and the NIL deals are at least attempting to bring some form of parity which imo has helped make the sport more entertaining for 1, but also generally more fair. Not that it has ever been fair and it still isn't fair, but it is far better than it was the previous decade before NIL.

If you want to say the transfer portal is ruining coaches ability to create good teams or continuity please provide me some level of data that suggests this to be true.

Edit: you also failed to mention kids that might not get a chance to play for their current team will transfer to a team where they could play. Should they be forced to sit or lose a year of eligibility to stay on their current team? Is this really a good system that was in place? Was it fair to the athletes in anyway shape or form?

I’m all for an unconventional and unpopular take.

Wait, so this low IQ turd wanted more money, held out, got kicked off the team. And now he got LESS money than he originally had with TENN to play for shitty UCLA?

Guy sounds like a winner. Congratz homie.

Him and his father must have went to the donald trump university to learn the art of the deal.

Lol im not sure what's even being argued here. They cut the cord with Nico because he wanted more money and then didn't show up to practice. Both of those are very much interconnected and led to cutting ties

Still this. Missed practice due to money. The issue was always money. Lost a little in the process but sure didn't dissuade a big program from signing him for some good bucks. TN absolutely did the right thing here but the kid didn't lose enough stature or $ in the process, as expected.

I’ll be surprised if Tennessee is looking to sue Nico. There was no actual contract to be breached to begin with lol
