Because they wouldn’t then have to turn into the clearinghouse for review if not booked. They are just keeping them from review. But has nothing to do with a cap because there is not one.

Not sure what evidence Danny has but seems he would turn it in opposed to speaking to media about it.

All the PSU players are young. Will they help, sure, but this isn’t like you’re bringing in four full time starters.

Great year to experiment and grab 6-7 lower level seniors. Nope. We go younger.

Amare Campbell, Dejuan Lane and Xavier Gilliam were each key players on Penn State’s Defense last year.

Campbell is now a SENIOR, and was the leader of Penn State’s Defense last year.

Dejuan Lane is now a JUNIOR, started 3 games, and played 290 snaps on Defense last year.

Xavier Gilliam played the 2nd most snaps (379) of all Penn State DTs last year.

Chaz Coleman was getting significant snaps on Defense til he had an injury in the back half of Penn State’s season.

All 4 of these guys would have been major pieces for Penn State, and will be for the Vols this year, if they can stay healthy.

Any NIL deal over $600 is subject to review for its legitimacy and fair market value. Revenue sharing is one thing but with NIL they are actually suppose to go to events, do ads/commercials, etc. That’s what NIL is supposed to be intended for but we all know that’s not what is going on. Some may ask how they are going to enforce “fair market value” and my best guess is they can look at all these sites giving NIL valuations and go that route or they can look at that year’s NFL Rookie Scale. I think what may end up happening at some point is every player will end up having to get a draft grade valuation and go from there. For instance, the 2026 Number 1 pick is slated to earn $10M in Year 1. Everyone and their momma knows Mensah is not a Number 1 overall pick so that $10M Miami is offering should not pass through if we are going by the rules. Even if you factor in the $4M buyout to Duke, that’s still about the 8th overall pick in the draft.

I think the pod caster is referring to this settlement with the House vs NCAA: Appears that they settled on a 20.5 million cap that can be distributed through nil from university funds while private nil deals are unlimited?

That is revenue sharing and has zero to do with NIL. It’s purely university revenue and gets distributed to athletes in all 20 programs.

If a school has a very strong NIL program, would it benefit them to opt out of the revenue sharing?

A podcaster has been claiming that UT has plenty of money to spend on players but Danny will not allow CJH to go over the CSC nil cap while other schools are blatantly disregarding this cap. What are your thoughts on this?

There is a committee to review NIL deals to ensure that it is not pay for play, but the NCAA has not shown any willingness to enforce it so far. Our players can sign deals through Adidas or anyone else, but it’s supposed to be submitted for review and approval. LSU and Miami appear to be completely disregarding the new NIL committee.

My guess is that TN is still on probation so we cannot afford to not play along with the new committee.

The NCAA has no authority in the real world. That is the issue. The only real way to fix this is regulate the teams and schools pay the players with real contracts.

The NFL has salary caps. Colleges in the NCAA needs to negotiate binding contract to with players because everyone know they are playing football and are getting paid to doe it.

Congress can give the NCAA the ability to return to the amateur model for the 90% or so of the schools that have no shot in the pro model, by forcing lower level pro teams for FB to go with G league, minor league baseball, etc. for pay worthy guys to go instead of allowing courts to corrupt the amateur BASED model. Use schools to attain those jobs, not be those jobs. Just like law students, med students, and the rest do.

Got to be one of the few bipartisan movements in Washington. Those guys live in districts and states being punished by the upper crust.

Having a player at almost every position on defense already having a year in Knowles' system is certainly going to help with the transition. All of those guys have been talking about how they can help the other guys get up to speed in interviews.

This right here is key. These guys know his system and will kick right up where he left off. This cuts down the learning curve tremendously.

I consider young to be true freshmen. If you’re in year 2 of college ball you know how it’s done. Is there still room for growth? Yes but you’re leaps and bounds ahead of where you were as a TRUE fr.

So we are way older this year then last imo.

We got the best Penn State guys and a whole new slew of DBs across the board. I think we will be good to go on defense. I really think defense will be one of our strong points next year.

Agree. Defense will be almost completely changed and will have much better coaching as well as players. I see a good team on both sides of the ball Fall.

Eh, depends on if and how much that player actually played. Being in the system is good, but nothing beats game experience.
