You are correct. Crazy stuff though. What happens when he still eats from the players 24/7 steak and lobster food service, gets the benefit of team nutritionist, strength and conditioning coaches and facilities, physical therapists and trainers, etc etc. I would think as a team QB he will likely have every benefit of being a football player besides tuition and a dorm room...which he can pay for both his school and apartment from his NIL deal. So in fact he will still have all of the benefits of players on scholarship...in fact likely better than some marginal players on scholarship who dont see the field.

The NCAA is an absolute crap show right now and will lose just about any court case these days pertaining to NIL and player compensation. The NCAA is nearly worthless now IMO. If they don't drop the hammer on Michigan then they actually are completely worthless.

Whatever NCAA rules remain enforceable about what separates a walk on from scholarship players might come into play though I'm not really aware of specifics. Basically the NCAA is dead as an enforcement agency.

They may as well take their old hammer to Michigan for one last swing but I'm unsure it will matter because if scholarship essentially equals walk on..... why ding scholarships anymore?

I guess cutting visits and cutting recruiting days matters some. Cut portal pick ups? No problem just have them walk on. A hefty money fine is going to have to be pretty hefty with all the money flowing into Michigan.

I'm just not sure, short of the death penalty, what the NCAA has left to punish schools.

Sure you did. Many of you did when you started attacking a local radio host who turned out to be spot on and 100% accurate. Now the story has been verified and talked about by everyone, So you want to move the goal posts by getting personal.

May want to go back and look. No need to add liar to your list of 'attributes'. That is assuming you are just a 'fan' and not Tony B. Because if that was the case, I couldn't think of anything that would validate a journalist like starting an account on a free chat board to defend stealing content and pushing the narrative that it is your own. I think you're just mad because we have shined a light on a cockroach.

Wow. A drop the mic moment and I 100% agree. Tony B has more than earned VFL status. I too have been listening for 30 years. He’s a UT grad and loves his school. Not sure why people give him a hard time. His 5 Qtr shows walked me off the ledge many times during the dark years

Agreed. TB is a VFL and radio legend (not many could do his gig for 30 + years) and he’s done a tremendous amount for the community. I get that he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but the vitriol is way over the top.

Postseason ban is the hammer IMO.
Big10 schools all BEGGED the NCAA to ban UM from the championship game and 4 team playoffs when they and others all sent in their irrefutable video and photo evidence of the scouts recording their sidelines. Michigan stonewalled the NCAA and pushed on thru the postseason to win that title. They will have to vacate those wins and the big10 and natl title IMO...but after the fact does it really matter? They will claim that title for eternity regardless even though their cheating coach fled to the NFL immediately. They deserve a postseason ban IMO. Many schools have self imposed postseason bans before when caught with major violations to avoid getting hammered later. UM did the exact opposite to win a Title. Its time to pay the piper now. We should know in the next 90 days now what the penalties will be

Why? He still hijacked information off of a website and passed it off as his own and referred to a VQ poster as 'sources'. But carry on being Basilio meat riders

You don’t think someone who has been in the Knox market and covered the Vols for over 30 years has sources? Pretty easy to make a couple of calls to confirm the smoke.

I believe the CFP is completely separate from the NCAA. I'm not at all certain they can control who plays and doesn't play.

This from the guy who started this entire cesspool but refuses to acknowledge his (easily discerned) identity. What a Muppet.




Exactly this.

I second all of this, and somebody just shot WAY up my list of favorite posters. Felt like those sentences came from my own head when I read them. Good job.

My god y’all are hostile!
If there’s anyone I’d want to punch in the face, it’s John Adams...well, a young John Adams. He’s a senior citizen now and I wouldn’t do that...but I digress, Tony B is one of the good guys.
Jeezus some of you love to eat your own.
If this nonsense about this kid IS true, send his @$$ packing, I don’t see why that’s so hard for some of you to grasp?
I’m so sick and tired of this entitled BS with college athletics. If you don’t want to be a part of a program, don’t want to work out and bond with teammates, don’t want to practice and attend meetings with said teammates and you don’t feel you are being fairly compensated, then find somewhere else to hang out, waste someone else’s time and stop holding fan bases hostage!
Hell, just give me 22 guys that want to be here, want to go to work, let’s strap em up and go raise some hell on Saturdays!!
GBO!!

Nah, I think I saw what I saw. If it was that easy that's what he should have done. Not take an anonymous poster's comments over the weekend on a pay site and created a story out of it like it was his own. That screams snake oil salesman.

Boo has a new agent per Swain. A new agent has to attempt for more money. We saw how Heupel handled Nico. I think we can cut to the chase & figure him gone.

One of my biggest Vol FB disappointments was the 2016 team. It got destroyed by a cancer in the locker room. I’d rather go 7-5 knowing the team gave it all every game than 8-4 with 2 losses that occurred before they took the field.

Ever since NIL, I’m no longer buying “well they’re just kids” argument.

They’re employees getting paid a good amount of money than most normal folks will ever see in their lifetime.

If you want to act self entitled and demand more money while skipping out on team meetings, do it on someone else’s time.

It wouldn’t bother me one bit if Heupel decided to kick him off the team.

Yep. Time to Nico him and focus on the guys who are about this team, program and season. Another case of addition by subtraction. One thing is certain. After Nico and perhaps Carter, Heupel needs to take a long, hard look at his recruiting eval process and make sure to really factor in family and history. This is getting silly.

His recruiting overall has not been good enough. His best class was 10th in nation.

Y’all are freaking out over nothing. The kid misbehaved. He has no leverage. No way he’s going to opt to sit a year. They’ll suspend him and he will be back.

Def not nothing. Getting his ass kicked by teammates for not doing things right, then disappearing and missing team practices is not nothing. I'll be shocked if he's on the team start of practice. It may get decided for him. After the Nico BS, Heupel isn't gonna let this $,hit happen again
