I'm not saying it can and I'm not saying it can't. Any of these groups can do anything they want (within the framework of NIL) based on their own motivations. They can also say one thing and do another unless there is some sort of written contract between the donor and the group. It's not a...

I think it isn't well understood that an NIL group is an independent group that step up to support what they determine to be important with whatever unofficial input they get from the sports they set out to support. If there are no well organized or well funded groups supporting the Lady Vols...

Quote from Danny White's announcement, "I thank Kellie for her stewardship of our women’s basketball program and wish her and Jon well in the next chapter of their lives.”

During a break-in to a family home with young kids, the father goes downstairs to see what the noise is and starts fighting with the burgler. The wife calls 911 and tells them her husband is fighting with a burglar. The 911 operator tells the wife to call back if it escalates and hangs up...

It doesn't matter how much investigating the NCAA does if there was no violation by anyone associated with UT. NCAA investigators spent a lot of time on campus questioning UT personnel and found no violations by anyone at UT. That is why Chancellor Plowman was so indignant about the NCAA...

I don't think you understand geometry. The fan would have completely missed the player had the player not goose stepped his leg out to trip the guy. The guy definitely deserved it because he was taunting the player but the player was walking slowly and looking right at the fan all the way...

Actually, they do not have jurisdiction over academic fraud. That is a matter for the body that handles accreditation of colleges and universities only. That is why UNC got off with no punishment on their scandal with bogus classes. For those that don't remember, the NCAA said that there was...

What about academic scholarships? Is anyone receiving an academic scholarship an employee of the university/entity awarding the scholarship? "Classwork" is as much work as "work" or sports practice isn't it?

The NCAA enacted in their bylaws the basic principle of "guilty until proven innocent". That is the only leg they have to stand on and that leg will be knocked out from under them with a battering ram by the courts since this is going to play out in the courts and the basic principle to our...

What you are asserting is that every time a person with college eligibility meets with a marketing group, it creates a "gray area". Geographic location and mode of transportation are irrelevant. That was exactly the case prior to NIL. Since NIL, that is no longer the case. The Supreme Courts...

It appears everyone is assuming the trip to Spyre was a "recruiting visit". It was not. This was not a case of a recruit being flown in to see Spyre. This is a case of a potential Spyre client being flown in to meet with Spyre. That is how this will play out in the courts. It is my...

He doesn't really need advertising for himself. You evidently know him. He is bringing attention to the Vols Club.

This sounds to me like the NCAA went around asking folks at UT about that flight and somebody responded to the question with an answer like, "we had him fly out on a booster's jet". The "we" being the collective we as fans use when they say "we won" or "we lost" even though "we" don't actually...

I think you are jumping to conclusions. I heard an interview a few weeks ago with one of the top people at Spyre and he stated that they could not coordinate with the school. Furthermore, they knew they could not and were not coordinating with the school. You are essentially calling that...
