I guess these colors also are Tennessee colors now….

If the AGs hadn't filed suit, the NCAA was prepared to move forward. They influenced the timeline. The NCAA is arrogant and power-hungry, but they couldn't have wanted this fight. They must have underestimated Tennessee's willingness to meet aggression with aggression instead of cooperation.

Yep, but the thing is we put a lot of resources into cleaning up the house when action was taken to remove Pruitt. And our willingness to handover so much of that effort to the NCAA was met with hostility.

So this time it seems UT went, “oh hell no, we’ve already checked the books and we’re not taking these accusations lightly!”

Softball starts tomorrow. Vols are ranked #2 behind Okla-- maybe a bit optimistic without Ashley Rogers but it's a great group and it should be a fun season.

This tells me the ncaa was wanting to declare Nico ineligible, glad we went on the attack to spoil this plan!

Yeah, they were trying to paint us a in bad light. Now, if the NCAA tries to sit Nico, it’s obvious they’re singling out Tennessee.

Softball is always stuck below Oklahoma lol

So, essentially, if the NCAA starts making players sit, then it will be classified as “HARM”. Am I correct? So the NCAA basically can’t do anything

Yes I mean technically the ncaa still can but if they did the AG would file another TRO to stop it because the ncaa would be going back on their word to the judge and he would likely grant it if that were to happen, or at least that is what I get out of it.

You think Rick and Cal even give a dang about winning and losing at this point? What did they just say to each other druing that handshake? "Hey buddy, wanna wipe each others butts with our millions?"

Why would you say that?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The NCAA's level of stupidity to do that would be absolutely jaw dropping. As of now, there is no irreparable harm shown. You have a player miss a year of play, which can't be replaced with mere money, and the worm turns immediately.

Nobody is missing a year..the minute they try to suspend Nico, he and Tenesseee will move again for a TRO-Injunction, tbey will get it within a few days..and then the NCAA will get sued into oblivion.

The courts are not going to let them screw Nico or any other kids...period.

This is a dumb and disingenous oversimplification..Why don't you use that argument for the NFL? According to you anybody should get to tell their employers how much they want for their work and where they want to work...they get what they want with no strings at all.

These "kids" want to be professional and get the big bucks...well there are things you have to give to get.

You're smart and you know there is truth in that...they're going to have to give something up.

You should probably be careful calling arguments dumb, disingenuous and oversimplified when your response is oversimplified and misses quite a bit of distinction, and apparently the entire point.

I was speaking to CURRENT state where players aren't employees, and the NCAA is CURRENTLY colluding to limit player rights. The distinction between NCAA sports and the NFL is obvious. Collective bargaining.

The NCAA is CURRENTLY suppressing player's rights financially under the legal argument that suppressing the athlete's rights is for the greater good of 'lack of competitive advantage', and defined in the definition of the product. My satire was simply saying, "Why not suppress some more of their right?" It's so absurd to think of limiting whether a player can attend their favorite school, it makes a point about the CURRENT STATE of NCAA collusions.

Hint, friend... You're very smart. Slow down a bit on that reply button. You've very recently admitted to a certain impulsiveness of the rely button, followed by a slight poster's remorse.

There's an easy cure for that.

Music and animation is cringe. Well the animation is an okay idea, but that song is not worthy of that moment.

 

[SweetasSoda]

So...use that argument for the NFL.

Don’t think people realize that it can’t continue this way. They never got past “the kids deserve some money as much as the universities are making” to see the end….a minor league. But right now we’re fighting to make sure Tennessee is allowed to be competitive.

We have a female chocolate labradoodle. I’ve never had such a great dog before. Got her when my son was 3 and he’s 10 now. She’s always mothering him and sleeps in his bed with him. She follows me around though and that makes him jealous.

Same. Our Labradoodle is 3 and is the best dog. She lets my kids treat her like a big teddy bear.

They can. Would not be smart. But are they willing to go out in a blaze of glory? And is Tennessee who they want to attack? Definitely was. But we fought back for once.

You identified it. You’re talking currently. McGill is furious nobody is seeing where it’s going.

Tennessee could simply not listen to any punishment put forth by them

My whole point has been that a CBA will have to be negotiated or it just becomes unmanageable chaos that will destroy everything.

You know that has been my point...of course the schools can't dictate to kids anymore without an agreement..a labor agreement has to be negotiated..and both sides have to give in a labor agreement.

Judge all but warned against the NCAA doing its shenanigans.
