OldTimer’s Dugout - General Topics, Chat, Random Photos and Memes.......No Politics

I keep tellin' y'all... UT-Chattanooga is the place to go to redeem one's personal brand, demonstrate contrition, and show off NFL draft-worthy skills.

And maybe I've got the perfect NIL sponsorship for Nico's next chapter...

I really do think Nico's life and career are redeemable, but it sounds like that has to start with repentance by the head of the family.
 
And then there's the money. Multiple sources have told ESPN that Iamaleava's camp is seeking much more through the portal than the $4 million they hoped to earn with the Vols this year. The read after talking to sources, however, is that he's unlikely to find a situation that gets him to that number.

"I think he has zero market," said a general manager at a Power 4 school. "It will be an interesting test of how smart and disciplined colleges are in looking at him."

 
What would be hilarious to see is if all of college football banded together and didn’t offer Nico a scholarship and he was left without a home this upcoming season. There is no such thing as collusion in college football in this situation so Nico and his team have no leg to stand on. You cannot force a school to offer a kid a scholarship or a walk-on spot on their football team. This is an opportunity for football coaches to take a stand and I genuinely hope they do it.
You’re welcome to walk on. We’ll see if you can cut the mustard.
 
RIP Wink Martindale
