Since scholarships are awarded on an annual basis, non-renewal of them would be a huge deterrent for such inane actions. As a student athlete, you represent your university when on the court/field/etc. The platform in which these protests are being staged are provided by the university, so act appropriately. Feel free to protest any way you want when not representing the university.

Same holds true when you're representing your employer (I.e. Pro athletes).

Very possible. I still think it would just take one malcontent to file a suit, though.

Even Shannon Terry admits the Haney story was bad form:



Of course, he says that now. I'm sure he was gung-ho about getting it published in the first place. The guy is a huge Alabama fan, after all.

So is he saying that the Haney article is what lead to Brice leaving?

I thought the late night writing part of the post was from the wife

No. She just referenced it. The line was from Shannon Terry talking about Brice.

"This is very typical of the type of behavior we have dealt with the past month. A man gets a lot of courage behind a keyboard and/or after 10:00 at night.

Again, I have no personal and professional issues with John. I treated him well during his time at 247 -- certainly much better than he treated our team. He didn't like it at 247 and that's fine, but there's a professional way to handle things."

Was on mobile and it formatted weird but yeah as others have said it's Terry. I'll be switching to VQ when my sub runs out.

Who is that? One of the national guys?

Edit: he is the CEO. WOW!

What a numb nutz. I would say Brice is way more professional than anyone on that staff currently and he runs him off with BS like that. I would say the VQ guys are smiling this morning because it looks like the wheels are coming off at 24/7.

I realize some people don't care. That's fine. Some people feel while peaceful and quiet it's a still a slap in the face of America. He can do whatever he likes, but I don't feel anyone is obligated to simply admire his protest style and refrain from blasting his stupid opinion. I don't advocate starting a counter protest and wasting energy on that stupidity, but I do believe it more than warrants a good old fashioned verbal rejection at the least.

A reaction that is more than a verbal rejection but less than a counter protest basically just plays into his hand and give him more attention.


The 24/7 offense and outrage cycle at work ladies and gentlemen.

I know many had hoped the NFL would follow suit of the other professionally organization.

Playing college athletics is a privilege not a right so I don't think mentioning the ACLU would be relevant. Schools have the right to layout guidelines for their athletes.

Guidelines, yes. I am not sure that quashing their freedom of expression in a silent protest would stand up in court. It is a tough situation. I get irritated at people who don't pay attention to the flag when the anthem is playing. People will sometimes chat, or, there was a dude at a baseball game who kept right on applying his ketchup and relish to his hot dogs during the entire song. To me, that is worse that kneeling. We don't know the whole story of this supposed protest at UTC. I am sure if Blackburn declined to intervene, he had a good reason for it.

The bottom line is $$$ though and a Mizzou situation where players strike because they feel their bottom line has been hurt can be much more damaging than the small amount of money they'd lose to those angry enough to stop attending games or something like that

Funny thing is he is also the CEO of scout now. He's a powerful dude.
Click to expand...

His power is limited by his subscriptions. People have been leaving Scout in droves and I am guessing that the Tennessee 247 site is now having issues. If the level of professionalism he displayed in that comment is typical, then I am not at all surprised.

Perspective as in the world we opporate here at VN he is very powerful. He could do a lot of damage if he wanted to the Vols.
Click to expand...

One could argue that he already has. And, they could do some damage to him, too. They don't have to allow them any access. They could limit their appearances to the press conferences and tell them to pound sand, otherwise.
