He was on his way to began practicing his sermon for the early session. And he was sampling the sacrament wine to make sure it wasn’t poisoned. He saved numerous lives. They’ll probably give him award. He’s truly a gentleman and a scholar.

Not 100% true, as someone who had a charge when he was 18 expunged. It showed up on a background check in the military which required me to take a polygraph, and on professional licensure requiring me to produce documentation that the charge was expunged, as well as a letter explaining what...

It is now, but it was not in 2022. That’s what they’re going after people for.

The NCAA has told congress to do something about NIL. Congress keeps doing nothing, so, I think the NCAA is trying to force their hand. Fine, you won’t make any rules, we’ll dish out punishment and force congress to get involved. I’m guessing they hit Ohio, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas...

Which is why I said it was the “allegation” That’s what they got FSU for basically. And I’m sure they’re gonna hit several other programs. It makes me wonder if they’re trying to piss everyone off so they become their own semi pro league and they can collectively bargain and set salary caps

Someone on the staff was coordinating communication, offers, and transportation arrangements between the coaches and Spyre is the allegation. Which was illegal then

We’re already on probation. We have to say that. We did the same thing several other collectives did, but it was still illegal under the rules. Same with FSU, the staffer drove a recruit to see the collective so they could work out a deal. And they just got hit with pretty hefty penalties...

There were rules broken supposedly. We were doing the same thing every other collective was doing. But, we had some loud mouth people basically bragging about what they did to get Nico here, and the NCAA got involved. The football program was not allowed to have any contact or coordination with...

UT would not buck the NCAA without SEC approval. We’ll fight this, and try to limit the damage, but unless we have other schools willing to join us in thumbing our nose at the NCAA, we won’t.

We’ll receive punishment, he’ll probably have to pay some money, but I don’t think he would be ruled ineligible. Although it’s the NCAA, they do some really stupid stuff sometimes.

The NCAA placed sanctions on FSU, assistant coach Alex Atkins and an unnamed booster for impermissible recruiting activity and facilitating impermissible contact with a NIL-related booster. In spring 2022, "Atkins is alleged to have driven a prospect and his parents to a meeting with a leading...

They already punished FSU for a staffer driving a student to see the collective personnel. The whole NIL rollout was a mess, and now they’re trying to punish teams for things that are legal now.

Yup, which is why I think it’s a nothing burger. Every collective was doing it

They’re saying someone on UT’s payroll was coordinating communication between Spyre and athletes. Which at the time was illegal. It was changed this year to be legal. But prior to this year the school could have nothing to do with NIL. All they have to prove is that someone on the staff was...

Schools were not allowed to be associated with NiL collectives, they changed that rule this year. And that’s what they’re getting people for. Basically, the school had an employee that’s job was to get the recruit in touch with or to a booster. And that was illegal. So, they’re trying to prove...
