    '25 Portal Thread

    People keep talking about bringing Gaston Moore back, but as far as I know, he is out of eligibility in FBS.

    '25 QB transfer prospects (Joey Aguilar)

    There was always a 0% chance that an established starter from a major program was going to up and drop classes (foregoing all coursework), say goodbye to his girlfriend, friends, and teammates and move to Knoxville to enroll in new classes, learn a new offense, along with the names of 120 new...

    '25 QB transfer prospects (Joey Aguilar)

    But this misses the point entirely. None of these starting QBs that people are clamoring for are even getting to the point of evaluating our talent. It’s just not happening and definitely not being “reported”. People may speculate the motives, but the reality is that these guys are happy where...

    '25 QB transfer prospects (Joey Aguilar)

    It’s far easier to believe that all these quarterbacks said, out loud, “you know, I’d gladly leave my teammates and coaches in a lurch for more money if only you had one more WR” I mean seriously. Who in the world thinks that legitimately happened? Who thinks that the TCU kid, or his agent, or...

    Where does it say he turned us down because of WRs?

    '25 QB transfer prospects (Joey Aguilar)

    But isn't the implication of the TCU QB turning us down exactly that we reached out to him even though he is not in the portal, thereby tampering? So why would they want that out there? Edited to say that I think those posts about the TCU QB are complete BS, but just trying to understand your...

    '25 QB transfer prospects (Joey Aguilar)

    You guys are setting yourselves up to be disappointed and then have an excuse to blame the coaches. What starting QB at a decent program is going to move, on short notice, leaving friends, teammates, classes, girlfriends, etc, immediately after spring ball? To go to a new team, learn a new...

    Breaking: Ricky Gibson to the portal

    UT supported/joined these lawsuits against the NCAA only because, even after getting b**ch slapped by SCOTUS, the NCAA pursued a public campaign against UT specifically. They planted a high-profile story and intended to make an example of UT. Dr. Plowman and the regents had very little choice...

    Objections filed on House vs NCAA

    I don't know if Spyre only works with UT, but I do know that the NCAA cannot tell them who they have to work with. The bottom line is this: - NCAA and schools can limit/cap direct payments - NCAA and schools cannot interfere in any way with a player or a player's representative from entering...

    Objections filed on House vs NCAA

    There is no chance whatsoever that NIL will factor into any final agreement. If it does, the first player that is impacted or denied a spot on a team because of what he/she earns, it will be challenged and the NCAA will lose. It does not matter at all what is agreed to in this case.

    Objections filed on House vs NCAA

    While these are really two completely separate issues, roster limits is one of the parts of the House settlement that has seen the most objections and will most certainly be challenged in court, but not for antitrust reasons. Limiting roster spots for competitive reasons is not the same as...

    Objections filed on House vs NCAA

    Yeah, I was just pointing out that "required" unpaid internships with clear economic benefit to the "host" is now illegal under the FLSA for any student. I think the other poster was trying to compare other students plights with student athletes. While it certainly used to be the case that many...

    Objections filed on House vs NCAA

    This used to be true, but unpaid internships are governed much differently now. From Fact Sheet #71: Internship Programs Under The Fair Labor Standards Act Courts have used the “primary beneficiary test” to determine whether an intern or student is, in fact, an employee under the FLSA.2 In...

    Objections filed on House vs NCAA

    They can cap direct payments but can in no way limit the total NIL deals of the combined roster - that is very clearly market manipulation/collusion. Think of it this way - who benefits from the NIL cap? It is absolutely not the players. It is the NCAA, the universities, and even the...
