There is a long article on Yahoo News today that appears to be copied from article written by a Knoxville Reporter on UT's ongoing case with the NCAA. Apparently, the NCAA will be having a meeting this week. Be nice to get this whole mess behind the football program.

After the fact. Hard to say with a straight face, you get XYZ handed down for actions prior to NIL. Players making 6-7 figures now and nothing the NCAA can do about it.

I see lots saying UT will be penalized for things that are now legal.

I'm confused though... isn't flat out giving cash to players or recruits still not legal?
Is that not what Pruitt and Company are accused of doing?

As I understand it, a NIL deal is much, much different as it can not involve a private party to hand over monies to a player. Rather it has to be a mutually beneficial agreement between the player and a corporate entity (business)...am I missing something?

Hard to imagine they'll act on our case so quickly. Seriously. I'd expected a 3-4 year time frame. Having said that, I'm tightening up the Tenn cup so as to be ready when they ignore our efforts and slap us with probation.

Agree...think our play on this is: We came forward w/ info voluntarily. No coach or player (all transferred out) is still on UT who were involved. We played shorthanded (unofficial punishment) because of transfers. Guess we'll see. Usually we catch the brunt of these things while Willy Wade is Teflon guy.

I don’t think this is correct. You see many individuals, mainly former pro athletes, offering 6-7 figures for recruits to go to certain schools. That is not under a contractual agreement.

Yeah this side show really needs to get wound up. By now, they know everything they need to know. Time to get it done and dusted and move on.

NIL is a fig leaf to allow exactly this to now be legal. Some fancy words on paper makes it all good, and a tax write off for the booster as a bonus!
