Narrator voice: And they did take advantage of it. (Also of note, I ended up betting UT+1.5 and OVR about an hour before tip. I don't know if this team will go farther than past teams in March, but I love watching them play.)

In other words, the American way.

Honestly I think that's smart money. Both teams can be very good. Both teams can be very average. Usually, the advantage with bipolar teams goes to the home team. I don't know why UT was favored to start with.

This is exactly right and there is the further possibility of his TRUE Market value never being revealed. Maybe Collective A (not the school) would have been willing to go to $1M, but since the player had to sign with them before they could even mention a $ value he they told him $100k. The...

timeline cleanse. well placed.

This is the new problem at the NCAA. They don't have to follow legal answers for NIL anymore. They can choose to convict on logical assumption instead. That's my biggest read on the anger coming from Donde, Danny, and Spyre's public statements, from their perspective. They did everything they...

At this point they COULD come out and just say this is all false and the NCAA investigators never found any issue at UT. Forde made it all up. Let's move on. But they won't.

Fair, but Spyre also didn't fly Nico to Knoxville to talk to UT. He was flown to Knoxville to discuss a potential $8M (allegedly) business deal and their world headquarters is in Knoxville.

(Not a lawyer, but I loved LA LAW) The Alston case that went to the Supreme Court was about the NCAA not allowing student athletes to make money off their Name Image or Likeness. Basically Alston charged that it was against the constitution for the NCAA to restrict an American from earning...

Ohhhh. So you wanted the 24hr log in package. Well now, that’s gonna cost ya.

you mean like Missouri in the East?

I wasn't suggesting incentives. I was suggesting just a marketing technique for the Vol Club to brag about the athletes that they had already signed to deals by showing their on-field success. Each summer/fall I see Vol Club twitter posts that they "signed X player to a deal" (Jaylen Wright for...

I agree with your concern, and have the same. I would like to see more Vol Club communication to establish which athletes are partners and how well they did in the most recent game. At lease some sort of propaganda campaign at the stadium to try and increase the donor pool. I was shocked when I...

My unsolicited opinion on SPYRE / Vol Club and all other NIL Collectives. As soon as NIL became possible, I looked for someone to take my money and give it to the players. I actually thought about trying to do it myself (same business model as SPYRE). Then I found Spyre (pre-Vol Club days). I...

I started to reply with a "yeah but how does this same comparison work for bad (non-winners) college QBs that DO became great Pro QBs? (not that I think Levis is any good... cause I don't, just more about how past performance does not always blah blah blah). So I compared Levis to Patrick...
