Why would he not want to see what NIL opportunities are out there if other schools are truly paying what has been stated on here? Per this board, it seems that every player that selects a school other than us has done so because of NIL. What makes us the exception for the players we get?

Chaz Lanier --- if the NIL numbers are accurate that some of y'all are throwing out here, then I wonder how much he will cost? It seems he would be at the very top of the NIL world, correct?

So I share a lot of these with my family each day on our family group text. You all have gotten me in a lot of trouble at times when I share your shameful pictures with my daughters. So I now sometimes run them by my wife. She said "no" on this one. I sent it anyway. I will let you know the...

True. My real point was that I would see Ware as a big time pickup, and not someone to "soften" our expectations over.

True. Also do not forget that some of the information being shared as "fact" on here is not true. For example, there was information being shared by someone here last year that presented themselves as in the know that Silas Demary was demanding NIL money to come here, and which UT was not...

I thought he is expected to be a first round draft pick in the first 20-25 picks. So if one of the top 20-25 draft eligible players in the entire world is someone that we need to "soften" our expectations over, then consider me someone that has extremely low expectations because I would see...

Well...I am going sky diving tomorrow in the Florida keys, so hopefully I remain alive.

Given where all of this could potentially go unless something changes, what would prevent a corporation or billionaire family from approaching a private university and arranging a deal where they essentially become co-owners of some of the athletic programs (even if not on a legal entity basis)...

"Hypothetically" speaking, if Haslam put say $20M annually directly toward player pools, would he have control over player selection to whom his money goes to...so he could work the same "magic" with our Vols as he has his other professional franchises?

I just don't know what to think about all of this. I guess the wealthiest boosters have always had a lot of power, so maybe it is just the same ole same ole, but this sure seems to take their control over college programs to an even greater level. They can potentially even select which kids...

Apparently in response to Baylor's $ offer to Jeremy Roach.

Knoxville and Fayetteville are the standouts, but I love the nearby mountains and lakes.

They are a program that scares me long term so I hope they go with Tang. I do not want them to get Beard, and I certainly do not want them to get Will Wade. I think Wade would do very well there if they are willing to spend money on their kids like we and some others are doing.

Well this stinks. My niece from my wife's side of the family plays for UW Green Bay. Almost their entire team is from the state of Wisconsin. My niece is from Appleton, Wisconsin. Wonderful young lady. For only the second time in my life, I will be rooting for the other team.
