For these NIL deals, I know they can't put performance incentives in there (I believe they can't anyway...), but what about character and/or responsibility clauses? Like with this deal with Boo, I read that he wanted to play offense and defense ala Travis Hunter. Fine, so they told him they would do it and gave him more money. What about his end of the deal?

Athlete's are gods. They don't have to honor their end. Above the law kind of thing.

Hubbs is such a hack!
Who are his sources?
Shouldn’t he wait for the details to come out or official word from the university, before making such claims?

I hope Hubbs is correct on this issue. I am not a big fan of Hubbs, but I believe he has the the correct information on this.

That’s the part that’s confusing the heck out of me. Dude gets paid more money and promised a role of offense, and he’s unhappy? what exactly is the problem now? just doesn’t make sense and is really annoying

What's confusing? You've never heard of a kid being raised by a turd also end up as a turd?

He is crazy and his mom is worse. It's been painfully obvious for years but has accepted/overlooked due to talent. At some point the headaches aren't worth the talent. The bulk of the folks in the program want him gone and Banks and Martinez are in that boat and cool with him leaving.

Exactly.....IMO, his only chance is to go far far away. As in the other side of the country.

We all would like to see this end well....he becomes a good teammate and stays at Tennessee. I don't see it and if he were to stay this will happen again. See Nico.

You actually have to do what the contract states to get the money. When Nico left, it was mentioned that he left money on the table because he no-showed events and other things he was supposed to do. You don't get the money just because, because NIL technically isn't pay to play.

The contracts aren't public so nobody knows exactly how they are structured, but I can't imagine they're giving much (or any) money up front. I would think that they've paid Boo next to nothing on his most recent re-upped NIL deal that was supposedly signed a few months ago.

Handing thousands/millions of dollars over to 18-21 year old kids? Sure! What could go wrong???

The kids need a slice of the pie, but I hope they are getting the counseling and financial guidance they need to succeed with it. The money they make in 2-4 years is more than what most people make in 10, and can really uplift them for the rest of their lives if they can manage it correctly.

Unfortunately most kids will ignore the guidance and just spend it on depreciating crap.

I did hear that Arkansas had paid Nico’s little brother a pretty good amount upfront and that they might be suing them to get it back.

He was also promised around 10 touched per game out of HS (that number included punt returns). So promises made in the winter portal window doesn’t mean anything. Although that still doesn’t excuse his unprofessionalism, and with what he’s getting paid I consider him a professional. Anyone that paid attention to how he carried himself in his recruiting interviews and the trouble he was in throughout high school and the fact his mom is the epitome of a parent that enables and even encourages shi+bird behavior should’ve seen this coming. I told all my buddies that we should’ve let him walk back in the winter when he was trying to shake the program down and kept Harrison and Squirrel instead. Then went and gotten an actual big time receiver like Eric Singleton or Concepcion. Best case scenario with Boo this year would’ve been him being elite and the staff having to renegotiate with him again this winter or spring. Worst case scenario is what is playing out right now. How a fan was able to see that and the staff wasn’t is mind blowing to me

Regular reader, but not a poster to the forum. It’s not Tony’s responsibility for anything in this situation. This is a classic example of shooting the messenger. First, the criticism started out about the story being false. Now that we know there’s validity to the story you’re blaming the reporting on what’s out there. As Tony would say, “he didn’t do it.”

The criticisms of Tony on this form are tiresome, unmerited, and quite frankly sophomoric. Tony has one of the most content rich shows in the nation, when it comes to coverage of a single, specific college sports team. Do you know who loves Tony Basillio and gives him more time than any other radio show? Coach Tony Vitello. Vol baseball legend Chris Burke, is a regular on the program. He has quality guest such as Watson Brown every week, as well as numerous other national media representatives who bring great info. He allows callers some leeway that other shows dont.

Having listened to Tony for 30 years, this is a guy that built a show completely, 100%, from nothing, and developed a grassroots following that has grown into tens of thousands. He’s provided unmatched coverage with post game shows that have run until 5:30 in the morning. He’s recruited VFL Will Heflin to run a post game baseball show.

He relies on ZERO corporate funding to support the show. He’s active in great causes for our community and provides a voice for the common fan.
Whether you like it or not, he absolutely, 100% has sources inside the program, and he comes up with great information time after time. These degrading comments about him say more about the people posting than it does anything about Tony Basillio.

Dont like it? Dont listen, but keep your unfounded criticisms and lies to yourself.

So you’re saying you’re a fan. Got it.
