UTK QB Nico Iamaleava holding out for more NIL money (TN/Nico part ways - Entering portal)

[Crimson1967]

If he leaves someone desperate for a QB will pick him up. UNLV (I think) had a QB quit the team midseason while they were ranked over NIL money.

Stories like this will soon be the rule and not the exception.

Looks like the Vols stood on business and won’t be caving

Just beat me to it. Bravo, UT.

Good job UT. Now, I'm going to take a bath!

Don't throw a party just yet. I'd bet a bunch of money they've already reached out to Mack and Russell. Maybe even Simpson.

I’m genuinely shocked at this whole thing

 

[bamadwain]

I'm not laughing. It's a matter of time, maybe not much time at all, before it's us in the barrel.

Spring football portal runs April 16 - 25. We could be the target as soon as this coming Wednesday, with the threat of a transfer as soon as A-Day is done tomorrow.

You're correct, I'm not laughing either, we have a pretty good wide receiver that hasn't practiced for a while, who's to say this has been going on? I never laugh at other programs because it could happen here just as easily

No blue font?

I was actually hoping that they would keep him! He probably ends up at a Texas school

SEC players can’t transfer in conference in the spring without sitting out a year so I don’t think we have much to worry about

 

[AlistarWills]

UcheaT created this problem so they have no one to blame but themselves. Remember his recruitment and how he got to Knoxville?
And I do agree with other posters, he was just mid. He had ability but just wasn’t putting it together game in and game out.

 

[CrimsonTheory]

I actually applaud UTK for not caving.

Now BRB. I have to go shower. I feel so dirty for agreeing with Tennessee.

Thank you! I'd forgotten about that. Good reminder.

I shouldn’t say “the whole thing” given what college football has turned into. However, I am shocked UT kicked him to the curb. Good for them. Dude is mid anyway.

Is that even still a thing?

 

[AlexanderFan]

Well he went with Tennessee for more money than Alabama offered, they should’ve known he would bolt or demand more money the first opportunity.

More of these kids need to be sent home for this nonsense.

If no one signs him I wonder if collusion is a thing without a working agreement?

 

[AlexanderFan]

Until it’s challenged in court. Everything is a violation of a person’s ability to make money via NIL if you squint hard enough.

I will suspend my hatred of all things UTK for 24 hours and commend them for this decision. This incident may be what is needed to straighten this complete mess out.

The Vols probably want to go back to paying players under the table or in McDonald’s bags.

You meant minutes or possibly seconds right?
