Tennessee QB holding out for more $$$

[Quint]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see FSU here

That makes perfect sense. They already overpaid for Ukulele. Might as well keep that streak going.

Agreed FSU would be a strong candidate to overpay for a starting QB.

I imagine Tennessee will be aiming higher than Avery.

Yeah but they were willing to move on from Nico and one set of stats is Big 12 and the other is SEC. I assume they weren't willing to pay Nico enough but they'd pay even more for someone better.

2024 SEC only stats. They need a third scholarship QB and someone with game experience, but I actually wonder if Merklinger would do much worse than this

JFC. What a POS.

I’d like to say I’m surprised, but I’m not. I’m sure this type of thing happens more than we know

JFC. What a POS.

Seems like the problem 99/100 times is the people close to these players. The dad in this case. Everyone wants to take advantage of these kids and try to cash in. Nico got awful advise that led to all of this. Hope it blows up in both their faces and he gets paid much less than whatever his deal was at Tenn in the end.

Illinois’ quarterback.

Is this the thing that breaks CFB?

I feel like it’s been broken since Keith Jackson retired.

Exactly. Hate to see this. Inmates running the asylum

Not sure where people get this idea. I went to jail in college for trespassing. I can assure you it was 12 of the most miserable hours of my life.

But maybe jail is different than an asylum.

 

[CornFed Gregger]

JFC. What a POS.

I would’ve told boosters not to give in under any circumstances.

Let’s watch this kid hold out of the CFP & deal with the mob for doing so. NFL teams aren’t going to forget it either

Actually, I think this type of stuff is good because it will break the item (NCAA college sports) that has been held on by toothpicks for so long.

In fairness, you weren't running the jail....so that's another variable.
