It will but I think it will be incredibly favorable to the schools with the richest boosters who love sports. Basically MLB which I think is pretty bad. I guess we could argue it’s better than favoring who the NCAA lets cheat the most. It’s basically capitalism so I get it but I would prefer we have true amateur sports in college and fully understand that’s a pipe dream. I tend to think people will care less and less as we chase the money. It’s also sad for other sports that are non revenue and it’s going to negatively impact a lot of young athletes. It will favor the few but I just think College sports should be different than professional. I understand that my view is outdated but I truly think this will end poorly. I’m not arguing with you specifically by the way.

I think you are pining for something that never existed, a paneca. It has always been about the money. At its inception College Football was seen as a way to increase the stature of a school and improve enrollment ($). Players have been getting paid and the programs with the money had the advantages. Never in the history of the world has there been a situation where those with money don't have an advantage over those who don't. That's probably why everyone wants it.

That wasn’t Aguilar’s Fr season at App St. Went to Juco first. He’s a Sr this year.

Oh damn...didn't realize he did 2 years at the JuCo level, I actually like him more knowing he's actually a 5th year guy and he's started 4 years already. Good experience and fully developed physically at this point.

Also this makes far more sense as why Heupel snagged him up so fast. Joey is a 1 year dude, ball out go to the draft and don't worry the young QBs on team & in next year's class (well except Jake wanting more $$$....but I get it likely now competing to be starting QB should for sure be making more than 40k)

What is going on is the current framework of college sports was pieced together overtime due to forced changes and the result is a broken system.

that's part of it

that's certainly the reality that EVERYONE has to deal with

beyond that, on an individual level, Tennessee does seem to be running into issues

Nico went from UT fan favorite to #1 enemy in less than a month. I'm so sick of the Iameleavas. I can't think of a higher profile family be this disruptive to our program.

What sucks is you know the color commentators are going to bring it up multiple times every game. Gonna be listening to Mike Keith with the tv muted

Kind of a shame, really. Everyone who has had a class with a Vols player at UT talks about it with happiness.

Of course, Nico would prolly be catching hell.

I remember my Military Science class in 94. It was full of athletes and other discerning students (including an incredible, blonde women's tennis player from Eastern Europe 👀🔥🤓).
We just repelled, broke down and put back together M16s, and to pass all we had to do is pass the physical challenge required to be on the Army. That and my History of Music class were two of my favorite classes.
