I’m not mad at you
For all we know you could be best friends with banks
I do t understand bass acting like swain is the word and swain saying fans don’t know anything
People on here have more connections then everyone think
They go to school with the players, have kids who do, know the parents, are neighbors, are friends, etc….
Fans rumors are 50/50 when it comes to truth just like swain is and bc he’s a former player doesn’t mean he knows everything
That’s why you don’t believe it unless the university or CJH make a statement about things

Yup, we are all just message board idiots passing along what we have heard and know. Anything can change in college sports. Also, I think it’s 100% possible for 2 things to be true at once. We could be getting our ducks in a row with NIL and still not have everyone completely happy. I’m sure this is a work in progress on a team with 85 players and an athletic department with several hundred.

I never had a problem with college players not getting paid because I viewed it like I do other college students. They're learning their craft, preparing for the real world. They'll make their millions when/if they get to the NFL. That's their career path.

And I won't go down the rabbit hole of how ridiculous it is that non-essential jobs like acting and playing sports earns people millions while essential workers make a pittance in comparison.

Here us a good question...If our NIL game is so on point, then why are we reading about problems with starting players?

Either Banks is a pure f'n ungrateful jackass scumbag that is asking for far more than he is reasonably worth, or our NIL guys are not doing their job and taking care of starting players..so which is it?

If Banks is holding the team hostage out of pure unreasonable greed, then **** him...I never want to see him in a Tennessee jersey again, but if hasn't been taken care of in a reasonable manner..then our guys suck.

Which is it? I really don't know..🤷‍♂️

1. You literally know nothing about Banks but have decided on a Saturday to curse at this kid for no reason as per usual.
2. We got Baron out of the portal in less than 24 hours. How does that happen?
3. We have multiple players on our team making 6 figures in NIL
4. Players want money. Happens in the NFL all the time. Millionaire baseball players are currently in a lockout over money. This is going to happen. Get used to it.

Our NIL is so on point we convinced Hooker and Tillman to come back and the only people to hit the portal were processed players.

The starting players you reference is an internet rumor at this point.

Relax before you get your period blood all over your keyboard.

If it was pure amateurs...I would still go to games and buy Tennessee stuff...so yeah.

Players play on HS fields all over the country just for the love of the game and the chance to get better...so yeah.

Please show me a HS program that generates as much as UT does. If the college football product was not as good, then it would not generate as much cash as it does now, that's not even remotely debatable.

This is what you should be pissed about. Tennessee has the resources to be competitive in this new NIL environment.

Do we? You do understand that the actual school can not pay players..right? They are the ones with the money that you keep talking about. I don't know what Spyre has to work with, or what they are doing for these guys good or bad.

You are going to keep to the opinion that the athletes who play the game are not the driver of the money involved in college athletics? With no players, you are just watching grass grow on a field.

True, but with no fans, there's no money for the scholarships that got those kids into school to begin with.

He literally said a few weeks ago, I believe about the Evans situation, that "Hubbs and Buck have been talking." Hubbs was asked and he replied, and I quote, "I have not spoken to Buck." Conley lied. Why should I believe him?

Show me an example of Swain lying. If you think Swain is lying then demonstrate it.

I know you are unhinged right now, but try not to pretend you are the smart guy in the room and everyone else is dumb, of course schools cant directly pay players. When I say resources, I am referring to everything around UT and supporting it.......but you knew that.

This isnt and shouldnt be a fans vs athletes issue like some of you are making it. Athletes and fans both desperately need each other for all of this to work well.

The Swain info and Banks have nothing to do with each other. I've asked where the Banks stuff is coming from because it's not being reported anywhere.

Swain was talking in general about our NIL program. Banks very well may want more money. But even if he does, that has nothing to do with what Swain said.

Speaking on number four, I hear the Yankees may make a push for Freddie.

Supercuts was spreading lies on here and logging onto VQ under bucks account and spreading lies.

12/19 is when AP reached out to Buck and tried to reach out to Supercuts about his lies. Supercuts posted APs phone number.

12/19 is the last date Supercuts has been on.

Reason? Buck told Supercuts to stop with the internet shenanigans/lies/trolling.
