Per Thamel: Heupel informed team this morning that Vols would move on from Nico.

[Manchester Vol]

Go suck somewhere else thank you.

 

[bamawriter]

Right call. Can't let the inmates run the asylum.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

The ugliest look possible for this new era. Time to regroup and move forward.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Wait, I was told the On3 article was click bait and those of us who believed it over Nico s moronic father were dumb.

 

[Dudleys87]

They got to get this transfer problem fixed. 100% he was tampered with

I’d understand that logic if he was actually good.

 

[etsuvol13]

We at least win public opinion on this one.

Right move by UT and Heupel but I feel sorry for Nico who is trusting his father who seems to be the one spearheading all of this.

Hits home even more because I have a son who is a freshman at UT and I couldnt imagine doing something like this to him.

 

[Kicker82]

If he was guaranteed more money somewhere else, he was as good as gone. I don’t think he really wanted to be here anyways.

Title says it all. I don’t have Twitter so someone post the link.

Best news I've heard all day. I might donate more money now. LFG

His new team better have their heads on a swivel because he can take his ball and go home anytime now.

Quiter.

I hope it was Heup that told him to pound sand before letting it drag out even a little bit.

That's ok. Let him go be mediocre somewhere else. At this point, I'm going to guess it's USC.

 

[IUGradVol]

Regardless of how this upcoming season turns out, Heupel/UT deserves credit for making the right decision here. Next QB up. GBO!!!

By his dad. I am not sure other schools went after him. But 100% believe his dad shopped him around.

By all accounts Nico was a great teammate and locker room guy. I think he wanted to be here, he is just trusting people who are making it more about themselves and their wants. Sad to see.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I hope he ends up at Kentucky.

This is a great day for college football.

Players for an extreme swing their way for a few years in the NIL pendulum. Now it’s swinging back.

Time for the Merk show

 

[Vols919]

Sincerely hope he is lit up after every single snap wherever he goes. Rest in piss bud.

 

[A.J.]

Proud of CJH and all those involved that made the decision to take a stand. It had to stop somewhere. I hope the players rally together, and surprise some folks that might be doubting them after this. GBO!

 

[VOL RN]

No player is larger than the University of Tennessee.

He’s not a team guy if he’s missing meetings and practice. We only knew about this because it was reported.

 

[NOLACHUCKEYTOM]

Very proud to see Tennessee take a stand for all of college athletics!! We lead by example! GBO

 

[TnVol!]

I'm glad. Go Vols!!!
