The right decision. The only ones who look bad here is Nico and his camp. He’s hurt his future with this decision and put himself in a bad spot. Maybe he’ll get more money but he’ll be at a big disadvantage having to learn a new system with no time and severely hurt his chances with the NFL. Unless he wins the Heisman, scouts will have to wonder how much his antics the past 24 hours are they willing to put up with.
Had not considered this…wowIt was reported that inbetween the end of the season and before the OSU playoff game that him and his family was shopping around. The way our OL didn't block in the OSU game tells me that was true.
To the people that said we needed to pay players and that there would be no cons to that process......

What are the demands? I just can’t see us moving on unless the demands are ridiculous. I think he deserves market value because other QB’s are doing the same thing.
Irreconcilable differences, will be on the divorce papers..?
They got to get this transfer problem fixed. 100% he was tampered with
I didn’t care about him negotiating until he ghosted everyone. That was the turning point. You can’t disrespect the team like that and just come back. He would have killed the locker room.I don't have a problem with him negotiating for more NIL money. I don't think he played well enough to warrant it, but that's just my opinion.
You can't not show up for practice and team meetings though. You're the starting QB and it disrespects your teammates and Tennessee football as a whole when you do that.
He'll be a locker room pariah wherever he ends up after the behavior he has displayed.
It’s not that hard. Sign your name on the dotted line...breach of contract by either the player or the school...lawsuit.They got to get this transfer problem fixed. 100% he was tampered with
The courts will eventually force the NCAA in that direction if the schools don’t do it on their own.This is why enforceable binding contracts would be in the best interest of the schools and college sports in general. But with that concept probably comes employment status, and if there is one thing college leaders are deathly afraid of, it’s that.

Nico Iamaleava’s Holdout Is a Product of Tennessee's Own Making
On February 13, 2024, Tennessee attorney general Jonathan Skrmetti issued a chest-thumping statement outside a courthouse in Greeneville, Tenn. Skrmetti was legwww.si.com
Now we know who wasn't fully invested in the team during the playoffs. What a fricking headcase. They should have left him in Ohio after the game.It was reported that inbetween the end of the season and before the OSU playoff game that him and his family was shopping around. The way our OL didn't block in the OSU game tells me that was true.
