Tennessee went to the mattresses against the NCAA for Nico and he does THIS to repay them?

This will start backfiring on the players. They will be the catylist of their own demise. This type of thing is what will correct NIL cause schools will begin to start letting these players stay in the portal.

I'm not sure, these coaches have absolutely no shame.

I may someday admire his talent—which at the moment is only slightly above average, but it will take a lot for me to respect him as a person.

You are exactly right.

He was a Vol For Now.

... following this logic, shouldn't we consider any and all new players VFNs (Vols For Now) until, idk, heading into their second season or some metric of commitment to the team (as well as getting a bag)??...

UT is pretty much in the same position as last year. Relying on an untested talented R-Freshman with a highly touted True Freshman behind him. Why should we fans expect anything less than 10 wins and the playoffs? The defense is still loaded, the O-line will be better, RBs will step up and keep rolling, the WRs under performed last year. Mike Matthews has been balling all spring and Brazzell has the talent and experience. They just need Staley and Jefferson to step up and the WR room will be ok. I expect them to reload and keep rolling, how many wins last year were all on Nico?

^^^ this MUST BE the team and fan mentality. LFGBO!

Correct. F him and his daddy

And the horse he rode in on.

The sheer ingratitude might be the worst part of this. We bet the future of the program for this kid.

I don't think we bet the future of the program, but we sure as hell did go to the mat for him. He and his whole family can pound sand.
