You want to make it worse, bring in collusion. That is an absolute 100% guaranteed winner for the players in court.

The reality. Nico isn’t even than good. More hype than anything..

I think Tennessee might be better this year with this move.

100%. It’s exactly what I would have wanted Alabama to do.

I think this ends horribly for Nico and wonderfully for Tennessee.

Hope they didn’t work out any buyout either. They should sue Nico for breach of contract and attempt to collect every dime they ever paid him plus additional damages for the reputational harm to UT. If you can get paid to promote the UT brand you can get sued for harming it.

Good job UT. That’s the right move 100% of the time. These kids need to realize playing sports in college is a privilege.

I am a huge fan of Heupel now

Frick these kids. Sick of the entitlement. Tired of the constant unsettled state of the game.

It ain’t like Tenn is the first school to tell a player demanding more money to kick rocks.

This. Every court will nail a system of collusion.

This is a completely different situation. Starting QB during spring practice. He thought he held the right cards.

Good job? This was an extortion they allowed to start from day 1. This was an inevitable evolution of frickery from Nico and his posse.

I wish the coach would lock him out of the facilities and tell him CYA! But half this board would cry foul. He hasn't really been an elite QB anyway.

Whoever gets him ...their opponents will find lots of film to show the situations that he can't handle. How your defense reads him....the plans are all there.
