I’m not that concerned about Nico leaving. I am concerned though that this will open the floodgates and some of the guys on the roster that demanded raises in the spring are now going to bolt and leave us in an even worse position heading into the fall.

^ this should be the concern. How does it impact Sanders or Matthews

The fact that there’s a “market value” is in itself ridiculous. Hopefully more teams will follow suit and start calling bluffs. Being “shook down” multiple times a year by the same unproven guy and his lazy parents isn’t going to cut it.

No matter how he played last year, he went 10-2 as a starter. And, the talent is there. He should receive market value. I don’t like it either but this is where things are heading.

Iamaleava...signed an NIL contract in March 2022 that could’ve paid him more than $8 million by the end of his third year at UT. ESPN's Chris Low, citing sources, reported that Iamaleava's representatives wanted his NIL pay increased to $4 million per year, using the possibility of him entering the portal as leverage.

Now Iamaleava can test that market.
Nico Iamaleava's time with Tennessee football is over in stunning development

I went to some other big name schools forums last night to see what they were saying. Oregon was just like us. They said "let him go kick rocks". Oklahoma used the term "extortion". USC(west) said "NIL is terrible. It's allowing the inmates to run the asylum". (Ironically, my guess is USC is where he'll end up)

So now all that Spyre money goes with Nico, and UT and the contributors get nothing out of it.

And...we now only have 2 school quarterbacks with little or game experience.
Josh needs to get in the portal jiffy quick for an experienced quarterback.

Over/under how many times Heup uses the phrase “at the end of the day…” in the post game presser?
