Someone said he was at 300k and he wants triple that

Yeah. He hasn't earned that big of a jump yet.

Arion Carter got a fair bit more than that, so I’d understand this.

 

[VOLED]

Yup. It’s the generic ignorant fan “analysis” of every loss, along with “bad/predictable play calling.”

I'm assuming you are talking to me. An OSU defender said they knew which plays were being called from the formation and that they could play fast and react fast because "we had seen it (the plays) for three weeks in a row"

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Yeah. He hasn't earned that big of a jump yet.

Maybe not but def deserves more than where hes at

Hes better than Arion so far

 

[MarcoVol]

This offseason has been absolutely atrocious. Now we can’t hang on to Boo?? unbelievable man

What’s been atrocious about it before this news?

 

[MarcoVol]

one after another.


rarely any good news lately

What were the other nut shots preceding this nut shot?

I mean not really. 300k for a slot corner is solid money. NFL slots make less than outside guys do.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yeah. He hasn't earned that big of a jump yet.

If the Allburns, Geightors, and Rebelz are walking around with balls in wheelbarrows - willing to pay an OL whatever, id say he gets it.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Thompson, that's it.

They're being dramatic. And I get it.

Arion Carter got more than 900k?

Time to be done with college football. These aren’t college athletes. They are greedy, over the top bastages. This current environment is not college football. It’s minor league pro ball. There’s no loyalty to a school except the almighty dollar. Anybody that says this is how it’s always been done, just under the table, is lying. They weren’t handing out bags for 2nd and 3rd stringers for 6-7 figures.

This is completely absurd.

This is completely absurd.

So your issue is how much they can make now?

 

[Billy Antrim]

I bet someone told him he could play both offense/defense and be like Travis Hunter and his “advisors” are selling him on that

Besides money, this was my first thought. Hunter just won the Heisman trophy and maybe he thinks he can too. It's not really that far-fetched of an idea.

What did he get? And who told you how much he got?

 

[gule]

Yep, I am not in to pro football. It was fun to root for a college team once but now, I will find something else to care for.

 

[bpalmer28]

Been a rough week to be a Tennessee football fan.

It’s just a rumor. Same was said about A. Carter

 

[InVOLuntary]

Someone said he was at 300k and he wants triple that

That means another team has offered him that.

 

[NoogaVol96]

It’s just a rumor. Same was said about A. Carter

Only difference is @dascoop posted it and he has been on the money to this point.

 

[dascoop]

He’s meeting with the staff atm.

There’s got to be structure. This is truly the wild, wild west. Some of these players are asking for more than their position coaches probably. Do you make more than your boss? Would you even think about asking as much as your boss? These kids want their cake and want to eat it too. They’ve approved this travesty so there’s no putting the toothpaste back in the tub. I just find zero entertainment value in this current culture of “collegiate” athletics. It’s just very sad.

The sooner the better the super league forms for Football with Rules and Caps. And Yes it's ridiculous what's happening. Our NIL has all 3 major Mens Sports to pay to compete for Championships then throw money at Lady Vols Programs to Compete as well. Only so much Money to go around. In CHRIST Alone
