Did I state he should get 2 mil?

Yes he signed a contract

He didn't show to practice and that was his decision.

He didn't show to O/W game, especially because he was off roster

Yes he/camp played hard ball and lost

I do not hate Nico like you do.

I might see him play as I watch LOTS of college football

It's not a contest, but I guarantee you I am a more dedicated Big Orange fan than you. Again not a contest. Okay, you win.

Could a lot of the things above been avoided? Probably. We'll never know

You obviously didn't read my post.

Thanks

I don't hate Niko. He's a PUNK. His daddy is a PUNK. He isn't worth the $2M+ he was getting paid. But fat@$$ Daddy was trying to extort TN and that's where I draw the line. You can move to LA and worship your boy every day. I wish him the worst.

Nico probably knows he screwed up and the Vols probably should have gotten him a bump back in Jan or Feb and April probably doesn't happen. Nico made the playoffs as a freshman and the next goal is to go deeper in the playoffs. That ain't happening for him at UCLA. Hate if the rumors are true that he doesn't pull his own stings. If true, it's a travesty.

Not sure too many kids who are worth the money Nico was making care too much about how far into the playoffs they go. If the stories about other kids considering sitting out of the playoffs for more $ are true, then it shows me that the only thing that really matters in their minds anymore is the $$$.

Winning the NC is cute and all, but it won't pay the bills for my family and entourage.

As an Oklahoma fan, I have watched Adrian Peterson earn more than $100 million over his career and is reportedly $12 million in debt because he spent it foolishly, listening to "friends" and family (his dad) instead of real money managers and agents.

It's their money to spend how they want, so even though most of us wouldn't do it that way, if they choose to blow it, that's on them.

Well he led the Vols at a 10-2 season and their first ever college football playoff. AS A FRESHMAN. Did he do this alone? No, of course not. Vols lose the Alabama game without him, probably the OU game without him. He had a stinker at Arkansas and Vols lose to Florida without him. They all got their asses kicked at Columbus.

Just like Heupel getting a raise, or bonus, I think you sit down with your Freshman QB and give him a bump. Could have been a small one, a drop in the bucket compared to how much UT takes in and you do this behind closed doors and no one even knows it happens. You also evaluate other key players that excelled throughout the year and bump them too. It's called a meritocracy. Nico's original deal was to come play at UT and while maybe there weren't "provisions" in there, it's good business to give extra incentives to key "employees" or they may go elsewhere.

Should Nico have asked for and did he deserve over 2 mil more this year? Probably not. But does 250k-500k framed as a bonus, go along way with morale? Who knows, likely, coupled with the promise to try everything they can to bring in better linemen, more depth and a few WRs.

If after that he's kicking and screaming and wants more and more than maybe you just part ways as he'll likely NEVER be satisfied.

I think the Vols blew an opportunity to handle a good business transaction back in late Jan and Feb and I think Nico pulling this in April did NOBODY any favors.....

Nico was making plenty, at this point there was never a reason to up his pay. Nobody else paid it so it kind of proves the point. The overwhelming consensus is he was making plenty for his production. The market is adjusting, these young players can’t expect millions for average play. It isn’t going to happen, teams will get ruined fast like that. GBO

I was a tech writer, so hopeful you will understand why I ask for your forgiveness in advance.

The acronym VFL stands for VOL FOR LIFE. You can't be an ex-VFL because of the word LIFE. As Kamala who loves Venn diagrams is telling us, those circles don't intersect. Each on on this list had the VFL card revoked, so what I guess I'm trying to say is, if you aren't a VFL when you die, you NEVER were a VFL. You can't be an ex-VFL.

Much ado...

Lol i know, I just used it to represent guys Tenn fans loved for a hot minute and then when they left badly, couldn't stand them.

I guess Pruitt could be up there but he wasn't exactly liked when he arrived. People just got behind him because they had no choice.

He was never the leader. Mayes and Sampson were the offensive leaders on last years team.

Falls more in line with the fall of Brittany Spears with dad having conservatorship. Just waiting for Nico to post videos in a bathing suit dancing with knives.
