I wanted to post this and find it kind of relevant to what you wrote. I think it’s a good perspective SIAP.

My main thought about it all is this... we are called Volunteers because Tennessee sent disproportionate numbers of people to war (1812, Mexican-American War, WWI, WWII, etc.). We value people and what's right, and we will give our time regardless of cost to help others. Consider all the volunteers involved with the recent Helene flooding. So someone holding out or threatening to do so because they want more money... Gross. Get lost, kick rocks, take a long walk off a short pier, etc.

Makes us just as bad, honestly probably worse than Nico.

No, not even close. We provide an opportunity for a player to showcase his skills in the premire conference in college football fresh off a playoff appearance. An opportunity to play in front of 100k fans in one of the sports Cathedrals and the best fan base in the game.

Allowing someone to exercise their right to take advantage of said opportunity is not the same as what Nico did. Technically we can tamper all we want and offer this unique experience, and it still be reliant upon someone to take advantage of said opportunity.

It's not the same.

You're 100% right but everyone will explain it away as being okay because (insert name here) would be having a better opportunity here- which is an extremely arrogant way to justify it to yourself, but whatever.

I find this thread incredibly ironic. Everyone hates Nico because he’s a mercenary POS that put money over team. Yet everyone here is going bonkers wanting us to go poach someone who has the exact same qualities. Make it make sense. It’s just utter nonsense. I personally don’t want another teams starter as it just feeds into the flawed system. I hope we just get a decent player to add some depth. Yes I am older and think integrity matters which is why I would be a horrible division one coach. I would love to see one of our two existing Quarterbacks take over.

True logic will not be tolerated on this board.

GO VOLS

I love the goodwill we have from this but at the same time I love winning more so I am fine with poaching another QB and paying him what Nico was making if it makes us a better team.

I would imagine we have to be careful how we go about adding a QB. The world is behind us now, but it’s inevitable that stories (true or not) will come out about how we tampered with whomever we pickup. We don’t want to become the hypocrite over night.

No. Nico was fine to negotiate a new deal if he wanted to or seek a deal somewhere else. But no showing practice, not responding to texts/calls, and walking out on your teammates right at the end of Spring practice is a bitch move. He knew what he was doing.

If the Kansas ST QB would be willing to come for 2-3 mil then we would be dumb not to dish it out IMO.

He's not that good. I watched almost every KState game last year. He can run. Below average passer. We would be dumb to pay him $2M-$3M.

On the other hand, he did run out of bounds as the clock expired in one game last year, so he could keep that Milton-Nico Tennessee trend going.

That's exactly what we're asking someone else to do.
