You don’t like seeing awesome catches?

Not fair to defenders who have no counter.

Umm they have the same gloves. Should receivers not be able to wear cleats because it makes them too fast?

No, but I think their skill should be catching with their hands, not sticky gloves. It’s just a competitive disadvantage I don’t like.

There’s too many advantages for the offense that I think has been very bad for the game.

It’s here to stay.

I know but I like to bitch and moan sometimes. Get off my lawn Butchna!

I wonder how long it will take before this NIL trickles down to high-school.

 

[GetEmVols]

None of those 10 years had the factor of NIL

I’ll wait and see

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

How many businesses would be willing to pay high schoolers? Is there really that much exposure? Few places are Odessa.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I'm not sure how much it will matter. State income taxes are usually miniscule compared to the federal one.

My wife was able to stay at home after we left NC.

Right to own tax was my favorite, what THEY deem value of your car is worth. Not actual value. Water run off tax is good too.

dumpster throw gif incoming... think you should be an adult 18 or over to earn this.

I could see it on a small scale. Lots of games are on radio now especially in larger cities. I could see some local pizza place paying a couple $100 for "Come by after the game for a slice." type deal.

Another thing, take Nolan for instance, let's say some booster starts his NIL in high school just as a legal means of funneling money to get him to sign with his school.

Is it legal? If its legal, I could see it happening.

 

[Jackcrevol]

yes im sure it is. and sadly i think youre right. its total horse ****. kids in HS dont need bigger heads than what they have now, heck even college kids. throw six and seven figure deals on that, we're going in wrong direction here.

Local high school football “Rivalry Game of the week”is locally produced and shown each week during high football season in Knoxville. Players are interviewed, coaches etc. I could definitely see NIL come into play. Recruiting, “buying players”, is already a fixture in high school football so why not NIL?

 

[T Dog]

Tennessee, Florida, and Texas have no income tax. I expect the states in SEC footprint to attempt to change that soon.

Thats so laughable, they are not going to change their state income tax to get college football players to go to a school. Im still laughing at that notion.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I have a pair of receiver gloves from a player on the team about 5 years ago. They are incredibly sticky. Makes me far less impressed with one handed catches.

Im the same way, ive got a friend that does photos at games and he grabbed a pair for me after a game a couple years ago. Those catches are much less impressive when you see how sticky those things are.

 

[Dudley Smith]

With all this talk of taxes, it reminds me that I hope we have someone in the AD who is going to be educating and assisting the student athletes with the tax liability that they will have from their NIL revenue next April.

But offenses which score a lot of points are what most of the fan bases want to see a lot of points on the board. That puts more fans in the seats, more donations, and higher TV ratings which means more money. We all know more money is the ultimate goal in today's society.

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

Jordan Davis will be a high draft pick probably a first rounder this coming year. He would have been drafted last year if he came out. The dude is a monster. Most of the big time DL Kirby has recruited are still in school. They are why we had -1 yards rushing against them last year.

That's where it stops, Jordan Davis who can't play a lot of snaps. Getting ready to add former 5 star Trayvon Walker to Kirby's bust list.

 

[onevol74]

Do away with. What states will figure out is how to create other hidden taxes to offset the revenue. I hate them lol

Will never happen. Politicians love their nest eggs too much. When has any government taken away any kind of tax? Even a tax they proclaimed to be temporary?

Oh good grief. Maybe you should pull up a chart showing the entire history of income tax rates before showing how much you do not know about them.

Coach Rodney Garner pulled recruits to Auburn for years that we thought for sure were Vols. not counting him out on this one

Auburn had a cabin in the woods filled with money bags though
