My guess? I’m thinking UT will make contact with QB on a roster elsewhere (tampering) and convince them to “unenroll” at their present school and then enroll at UT, thereby bypassing the NCAA portal.

I expect this to happen with few players this summer. There is literally nothing the NCAA can do to stop it.

Take away eligibility...

if i'm a big Tennessee booster i'm hiring Montana linebacker Solomon Tuliaupupu (who has been granted a ninth year of eligibility by the NCAA) just to put my thumb in their eye.

Doesn’t he just find another judge? IE Chambliss?

Won’t happen. While the transfer portal is the NCAA’s recommended method of transfer, it isn’t mandatory. There is nothing the NCAA can do to stop it. As to eligibility, sure they could* attempt to do such, but it would most likely be futile. As long as a the player meets academic requirements at the new school, and meets the ncaa’s eligibility guidelines, there is little they can do.

Case in point was the Wisconsin player that unenrolled outside the portal window. Then the following semester he enrolled at Miami. The NCAA stated once the player unenrolled he was no longer a student athlete. He was free to enroll wherever he wanted, and whatever eligibility he had remaining went with him.

Yet another loophole...

Pavia mad with envy!

Maybe Heupel can petition for another year of eligibility.

The NCAA has more loopholes than all my insurance policies combined.

…and he was a huge part of Miami’s D…

they’re not hurting. They’ve got two very highly touted qbs already on the roster. They’re young but it’s not like Aguilar was gonna be a first team all American or whatever even if he did come back. They went to the playoffs with that last kid as freshman also. All that being said I hope they lose every game they play until the end of time unless it’s against Auburn and some them times too.

And that would probably lead to lawsuits on top of lawsuits. The NCAA has pretty much lost any power to enforce anything.

Man, that is a pretty big loophole. You could drive a truck through that loophole.
