Take the names off the jerseys

[TennesseeTeeeeeee]

Get rid of NIL. Scholarships should mean something.

Otherwise separate the teams from the school and embrace the minor league structure.

Everyone too afraid to tell their kids no

Does any school not put names on?

Does any school not put names on?

I don’t know but it would prevent the schools from profiting off a single player. I’m fine with the school profiting off the team and using the funds to build the program.

Dumb overreaction is dumb and an overreaction

 

[TennesseeTeeeeeee]

Dumb over action is dumb and an overreaction

What’s the dumb overreaction? No one should be discussing this with that QB on the morning of the O&W game. That’s the dumb part.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Army used to just say Army.

Does any school not put names on?

Penn State and I know a few other teams don't have names on the jerseys.

Does any school not put names on?

Penn St and Notre Dame

Not sure if it's still the case, but USC never had names on Jerseys.

 

[YankeeVol]

Penn St and Notre Dame

I thought Penn St had started for some reason.

Tennessee doesn’t put names on the baseball jerseys. Worked out pretty good for them…..

 

[YankeeVol]

Army used to just say Army.

The names are on the front like on the Army duty uniform.

Everything you suggested is a dumb overreaction. Just because something is true (we shouldn’t be discussing this now), doesn’t mean any of your ignorant suggestions are justified

 

[YankeeVol]

Goes to show how little college football I watch outside of TN

PSU
USC
*Army

*but they do have the name on the front

That’s entirely your opinion. Why is it dumb? I’ve given a reason for my suggestion. No names is harder to profit off of an individual. That’s what led us to this stupid transfer situation.

Why is that dumb? Are you not able to articulate your ideas and have a conversation?

 

[YankeeVol]

Penn St and Notre Dame

 

[utvolpj]

What’s the dumb overreaction?

To get rid of nil. It's law at this point

 

[TennesseeTeeeeeee]

I don’t think anything can be undone. It just takes will power. But again, no one likes to tell the kids no

The reasons why is it dumb are almost too numerous to list here, but one of the main ones and most obvious is an inability to compete. So if you want be Vanderbilt or worse, sure we could just completely eliminate NIL.

It won’t stop anyone else from using NIL. Our product we be even worse than the Dooley years. But we could do it

 

[TennesseeTeeeeeee]

Names on jerseys is directly tied to NIL. What does NIL stand for? Get rid of it and they are all VOLS

Getting rid of NIL across the board would keep it even. TN has historically competed since football’s inception. I don’t think we need NIL to be good.

Edit: I wasn’t suggesting only we get rid of NIL. Axe it for all.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

I thought Penn St had started for some reason.

They briefly had names during the Bill O’Brien era because of the whole Sandusky situation as a show of team unity.

Lol NIL isn’t going away. And if it isn’t going away, taking names off jerseys and refusing to promote our players only hurts us.

So once again: dumb overreaction is both dumb and an overreaction

Well I think if we as a society did both it would make the game better. But you’re just being an ignorant ******* and missing the point. I can’t help that. I know the internet is an interesting place and in the right setting you’d get punched in the mouth talking like that to me in person.

Good day and GO VOLS

Does any school not put names on?

I think Notre Dame. At least for a long time I know they didn’t.

Edit; oops. Saw your photo you posted further down the thread. Don’t recall when that changed. I know Lou Holz had taken the names off when he got there.
