According to Hubbs, the NCAA has been on campus for 6 months interviewing athletes.

As a comparison, FSU recently negotiated and agreed to a set of sanctions with the NCAA relating to an NIL violation where an assistant coach provided a portal recruit with transportation to an off-campus meeting with an NIL representative (booster). The sanctions were: 2 years of probation, a 2 year show cause for the assistant coach (he was not relieved of his duties, as I understand it), 3 year disassociation from the booster, 1 year dissociation from the collective, $5k fine plus 1% of the football budget, 5% reduction in scholarships over the 2 year probation, reduction in official visits in 2023/24, reduction in recruiting communication.

I?m not suggesting that anything like this happened at Tennessee. This is only one case that was recently investigated and resolved. This NIL landscape is not without rules, most of which we have no knowledge. It seems that the NCAA has implemented rules to make certain that the universities and the collectives are separate entities with completely different agendas (even though everyone with a pulse knows that is not/was not ever true).

Pure, unadulterated BULLshizzle

Nico committed BEFORE the ruling we agreed to
Make no mistake, it is really only about Nico
Could also be retaliation for our AG joining the suit against the NCAA as well

Ford is still butthurt about Schiano

The NCAA keeps CHANGING the rules, AFTER the fact and then investigation OLD actions to the NEW rules - that is what the did with FSU and to the UNC receiver last year

No argument from me, because I don?t have that information.

I do find it odd that FSU didn?t fight the issue, though.

I'm telling you NIL and the transfer portal are the devil. Any time you get that much money and the talent that comes with it involved, you are going to get shady dealings. It's just human nature to try to get an advantage. When has UT ever been choirboys? As much as it's a given they "all" cheat, we have had  our fair share of incidents. But being typical fans it is all good if we win and we try to gloss over the bad stuff. I would rather be a little shady and win than be holier than thou and lose.

You either know the rules and follow them or you know the rules and don't follow them. There is no excuse for not knowing the rules, even if they change them every week..lol. The compliance staff has one job. They should know the rules. That doesn't mean they can make the powers that be follow them.

Chancellor Plowman responds:







Me thinks she is a bit upset with the NCAA's lack of CLARITY and multiple rule changes in the NIL landscape

"factually untrue"
"Intellectually dishonest"

Hopefully it can be explained away. This NIL crap is so new, it's bound to have growing pains. They just can't move goalposts regarding the rules.

A slap on the wrist doesn't mean much. When they start giving out bowl bans is when it starts to suck. This will probably end up being a nothing burger. Does any school really know the NIL rules? That's the big problem.

The New York Times is supposedly reporting that at least one of the issues involved Nico being flown from California to Knoxville by a booster (aboard a private plane).

Well clueless, since you are so knowledgeable about this, name one (1) action that Tennessee or Spre or a student athlete that has been a violation of published NCAA "guidance" when any actions or activites occured?

I'll be waiting, with my MREs at hand

It seems that most of the National writers who aren?t partisan bomb-throwers with an axe to grind (ahem, Forde/Thamel) are lining up behind UT right now. Even opposing fans (at least the ones who can see past ?orange team bad?) seem to be with us. Because they know they could be next.
