No, my CONCEPT is that HE wasn’t “leveraging”. This is a pro-active stance by the program to get ahead of that. Maybe jmo, but it’s the reality that currently exists. Net result is he’s concentrating on competing for the starting job and/or continuing to develop towards next season if he doesn’t (at least immediately) win the starting nod.

HE and HIS agent started the negotiations. This wasn’t UT getting out in front. All QB’s were reported to have been given a raise after Nico left already. By all accounts this is what has been reported not what you’re saying.
I get being proactive. coming for another raise after just being given one and not having done anything to deserve it.

I've seen a lot of people in the past, including myself, post how much better college sports is than the pros.

I'm not so sure anymore.

Crazy these guys will leave a playoff team and SEC school for a place like UVA.

They want to play more. They have played a secondary role with a playoff team, now they want to start and make a little more money too. Everyone is saying the system is broke, but bottom line is players want to play.

How do you know? Whole inside story announced or you just know stuff? 😏 Regardless, the dynamic changed a couple of weeks ago. He went from being the presumed back-up hoping to get enough snaps to develop for starting NEXT SEASON to the immediate guy fending off transfer for the starting nod IMMEDIATELY. The transfer is getting over a million to compete. IF he or his side dialed first, the other party was in the process. BOTH knew you pay more. No way Heupel/Spyre had a thought balloon over their heads that seriously read “IF he wins the starting job THEN we’ll talk about more money.” Train’s moving…catch up!

From now on its rebuilding most every year. Fischer, Kilen, Curley, Bargo, Chapman, Peebles, Russell, Doyle, Phillips are all draft eligible this upcoming draft. Ensley also..


Returning guys next year with playing time this season is

Levi Clark
Antigua
Marin
Abernathy
Hunter High


Tegan Kuhns only returning starter pitching..

Add:
Grimmer
Newstrom
Lawless
Rest of the true freshmen
and likely all the pitchers in the pen except possibly Sneed (but whose struggles this year make it more likely he might return)

A lot more '25 playing time returning in '26, than we had coming into this year from last (only returned 2 w/meaningful post-season minutes)

There is a reason the benefits of drugs like ivermectin, fenbendazole and others are stifled by government, pharma and the health care industry......


Simply put there are no trademarks, it's cheap, easily available and effective. And the above cannot make billions off of it.

Price saying Vols specifically looking for a backup WR only. That’s why it hasn’t worked with some of the guys in the portal. They can’t make more than the guys who are gonna be starting and they like the guys they have as much or more than the guys who have entered.

LOL, Ok Huepel.

Im just glad they came out and made a statement to address it. Wish this staff nothing but success, Huepel is a good dude.

We legit have opportunity to turn the corner. Carpe Diem.

Ehh. For some of these kids, it's life-changing money. And you never know what tomorrow may bring - e.g. injuries. When I'm deciding where I want to work, I absolutely take salary into account.

I'm telling you, our web searches are linked to other apps, like instagram. Cross-contamination.

I didnt think info was shared between apps from different companies. I searched that picture of the whistle. . . never looked anywhere but google for just a moment. Talked about it in here for a couple posts, then went to instagram for a second. The first thing it shows me is a dude whistling. The feed has 4-5 posts about whistling in it now. Strange.
