Someone explain something for me, if the precedent was set that JUCO doesn’t count for your eligibility and Aguilar played 2 years at Appy St and one year at UT why isn’t this a slam dunk for a 4th year?

Professional G League doesn't count towards eligibility evidently, not sure how they can then say junior college, a much lower caliber classification counts. Neither fall under ncaa jurisdiction.

that has not been determined. That case, which Joey dropped out of, is still in progress and no decision made. Pavia got an injunction allowing him to play in 2025 but that was not a decision on JUCO eligibility. The NCAA granted a waiver for 2025 for any college player that finished eligibility in 2024 and part of that was counted as JUCO, then they could play in 2025 if they wanted to. That is how Aguilar, Thomas and Kitselman got to play for the Vols in 2025.

JUCO counting as part of 4 years playing college football has not been eliminated by a court or the NCAA.

Two million dollars changes a lot of things and brings people out of the shadows.

Apparently the judge now presiding over JA’s case has 2 degrees from UT. Wonder if he makes contributions to the athletics program?

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems that in similar cases the plaintiff can legally ship for a friendly judge, get a TRO and a preliminary injunction in their favor, then the judge refuses. That gives time for a new judge to be appointed, and legal motions to drag things out while the plaintiff gets what they want without having to go to trial.

Since we have little chance of getting anything better than what we already have, I suppose Heupel has no other choice. He's gonna wait on Aguilar and pray for the best. Hey, that's what Spanky does. He's never proactive. Always reactive....after lunch....and a nap.

Then a snack. Then getting whatever shirt is closest to him on the floor, waddling down the hall, and muttering some sentence fragments and catchphrases at the press. It's what passes for leadership at UT these days.

The Vols would be so much further along if only @CAVPUT were in charge

Ah. The ad hominem attack following a negative comment about the coach. It's the VN way.

It's the level-headed, intelligent, non-emotional, and easy to understand posts by you that make it worth wading through the morass of pigs**t-headed junk that one has to sift through pages of around here just to find the rare kernel of truth.

(sigh)...sometimes it's tough being a Vol fan...

What can we do, drop the ban hammer on the **** posters? I'd be fine with it, but the site would probably lose a lot of revenue. It's just how it is these days

Yep. And sad to see. Back when all of this started - late 90s, the boards weren’t monitized, and the discourse was incredibly civil. If someone acted like a jerk, they were gone immediately. Preserving the integrity of the information posted was paramount, and polite behavior - the same as you would display in person when talking to someone was expected by all. There were never topics posted designed to denigrate. Now, because the more posts the better for the site owners, we are stuck with this.

And no offense toward aite owners- I’d run it the same way too. It’s a business-I’d have trolls on the payroll.

I'll also add that, should the Pavia case that Aguilar dropped out of be adjudicated in the Plaintiffs' favor, it would almost certainly still benefit Aguilar, even though he's removed himself as a Plaintiff. Aguilar, and any similarly situated players, would apply for and likely be granted a waiver as a result of a favorable ruling in that case. Therefore, that case is still available as a "back-up" benefit to Aguilar, regardless of the outcome of the current one pending in Knox County Chancery.
