Tennessee QB holding out for more $$$

[doublewing]

Nico is just taking advantage of a broken system. Calling it a “system“ in the first place is pretty generous.

I fucking hate NIL.

I had mixed feelings about it at the start. Felt like the players did deserve a more equitable financial situation than a scholarship and all that comes with it. Knew in my gut it would eventually turn into the same crap we see in professional sports. Eventually.

I didn’t think ‘Eventually’ meant a little over four years.

So which is it? Is the reporter full of crap, or is the players dad a lying ass hat?

I'm going to lean with the players dad a lying ass hat.

Since he lead his twitter response with ‘Bitch’, I tend to agree.

That said, our new modern methods of communication leave a lot to be desired.

Good to see Shannon standing up for his employee honestly. Sounds like some true info was leaked that the family didn’t want out

Its also possible, not likely, but possible that Nico and his agent are handling this without parental involvement. Hell, he is 20 years-old and doesn't need dad's permission.

I could easily see some boosters from other programs saying they'd offer $4m just to stir the pot.

This is something that likely happens a lot, either in a ‘Stir the pot’ attempt, or to make a school piss away more of it’s NIL money on a kid that wasn’t or isn’t really looking to leave.

Seems like something Alabama or Texas would excel at.

We should offer everyone on Iowas roster a dollar more than they are making there

I assume he’s going to Ohio state?

I’m gonna guess Oregon. They were rumored to have tampered with the Texas QB once too.

 

[HuskerGarrett]

Good for them honestly

I figured colorado

 

[Goskers07]

I figured colorado

That’d fit too.

Colorado has money to throw around?

I really wouldn’t be surprised if some day we find out Deion was illegally funneling his own money to NIL for guys like this.

 

[Tsakoi]

Tenn had no choice.

If they give him the money then everyone in the locker room is either pissed or asking for more.

Gotta cut him loose or get shaken down by the entire roster.

 

[nscottie]

Glad to see Tennessee not caving to him. Needs to happen more.

Goes back to what I said yesterday: he’s not that good and certainly not as good as he and his dad thinks he is.
