I was wondering how long it was going to be before this started happening. I'm not going to laugh at UcheaT because, at some point, it will happen to us as well. Welcome to the new college football.

I'll laugh at it! There's never a "Chik-fil-A" bag around when you need one since Pruitt left!

 

[Crimson1967]

This is crazy.

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

This seemed inevitable. Glad it's happening to Tennessee and not us for now.

I also don't get the Nico hype. He seemed like just an okay QB last season

 

[DzynKingRTR]

I care less every single day.

 

[Jack Bourbon]

Binding contracts are needed.

What a joke!

Yeah, the messaging of the tweets above scream typical NFL holdout. It was also UTK that asked for injunction to allow NIL to what it is today.

This is worth keeping an eye on .... Kid is not that good.

The wife of a friend of mine (who does not watch football very closely) said, "It looks like his name is "I am a male Eva."

 

[Joefus]

HAHAHA oh boy does this please me. Hope he transfers somewhere for 4 mill and doesn’t even start there and Tenn has a losing season with a dud qb.

 

[CajunCrimson]

“ I’m a leav” is in his name.

Until these kids are placed under contract with their respective school, expect this to occur often. Under the current system or lack thereof, what could stop several players from refusing to play in an upcoming game unless their demand for mor $ is met? Absurd.

College football is dead

 

[bamamc1]

My sources are telling me it looks like Iamaleava will likely land at Ole Miss to play for QB guru Lane Kiffin. I wish that was seriously the case.

And they may let him walk. I'm sure they want to keep him, but my guess is they also realize he underdelivered last season compared to all the hype around him.

Don’t cry for me, Tennessee?

 

[tusks_n_raider]

Hope they truly don’t blink.

Should immediately kick him off the team and out of school.

I’d want Alabama to do the same.

I still don’t like players being on our team that hit the portal for leverage.
