Honestly the best way to combat the NIL transfer stuff is that a player has to stay at their school for a set amount of time. Such as 2 years or whatever. Then they are allowed to transfer…. Or something like this.

I don’t really know any other way. You shouldn’t just be able to sign, not get playing time and immediately transfer with no penalty as a Freshman going into your sophomore year. That’s just my opinion.

I’m not opposed to a one time transfer rule but it should definitely not apply to freshman and sophomore players.

This and a salary Cap on NIL
Max 50k for freshmen
100k for sophomores
200k for Juniors
500k for seniors
Recruits that haven’t even seen a college field have zero business making 6-7 figures..

I really don't think you really had run on sentences because you used multiple periods to denote a full stop whereas a run on sentence just goes on and on and on with little or no punctuation and it can be really difficult to understand what the writer is trying to describe because well it's like pressing the middle word in your suggested words when you are text over and over and over again and stuff at some point will start to repeat but it really could be a whole lot of words that keep appearing with no end in sight and people just give up and stop reading or fall asleep or start thinking about that hot girl sitting in front of them and anyway Go Vols.

That was cruel. It was like watching a drama series on TV that goes on and on about nothing. Finally, it gets to the really good stuff right before the show ends, leaving you hanging, waiting for what happens next.

No, I want him to think about it for months! I just buy what I want.I want a “gift” from him. Every year he seems to be in disbelief that I expect him to get something lol. Besides my mom is gone. My dad just gives the grandkids money. My MIL get things off sales racks nobody wants. So I just have him and my daughter who get me something to unwrap. But if she’s happy that’s great!

If I could return to 25 year old me I'd say two things.

1. Be consistent in all things, investing for retirement, investing in health, investing time with people.
2. Less money spent on things, more money spent on experiences. TRAVEL MORE!!

I’ve always been relatively in shape but gained weight in college, lost it all, gained a good bit back in residency and am back down 30 lbs again to my good weight in the 170s

Everyone is wired a bit differently but I’ve had a good bit of success with intermittent fasting. Usually I just have coffee and water in the AM. Then usually 2 of the orgain protein shakes from Costco during the day and then just have a regular dinner. The first 2-3 weeks are tough but beyond that it’s been pretty easy to maintain.

I intermittent fast every now and again. Thought I was helping myself since I always ate so bad. I’m around 180 right now, but I was around 193-195 before the surgery. I don’t mind the weight loss in some areas but I want to keep some size on too. It’s a double edge sword some times.

Daddies, don't let your babies grow up to be Vol fans
Don't let em pick UT or drive to them games
Let em be bandwagon fans and such
Daddies, don't let your babies grow up to be Vol fans
Cause they'll never be sane and they're always in pain
Even when they win the game

Vol fans like Smokey the hound dog and clear QB choices
Other teams' coaches and players and all Vols don't have
Them they don't know him won't like him and them that do
Sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just desperate but his pride
won't let him think things that make it all right

Daddies, don't let your babies grow up to be Vol fans
Don't let em pick UT or drive to them games
Let em be bandwagon fans and such
Daddies, don't let your babies grow up to be Vol fans
Cause they'll be sane and they're always in pain
Even when they win the game

Between the NIL and the transfer portal, this is going to be considered for decades to be a unique time in college sports. The amount of money being thrown around right now is beyond insane. Something has got to give, because the hundreds of schools that cant put up money like the A&Ms of the world arent going to be relegated to second class citizens in college sports.

Fans on a message board dedicated to a team are going to celebrate the good and complain about the bad. It is what it is.

Celebrate the good? I rarely see that here. At least not from those who do most of the complaining. And that's the point some refuse to see.

In fact, I'd be willing to bet that as they were reading this they were ready to retort something like, "that's because we rarely have anything to celebrate." They just don't see the good. And again, that's the point.

Something to keep an eye on imo - post spring semester transfer portal when all these early enrollees have been on campus and kids that didn’t sign during the inaugural NIL class see how much money some of these kids got to come to their school.

Or when they get to campus and realize it was bull crap and Monopoly money
