Over on the football side there has been a lot of talk about the NIL and SPRYE. There is an article over there saying SPRYE (Tennessee) is number 1 Some are pro and some have negative feelings about giving athletes large amount of money (total around 25 million??) to come to UT.
SPRYE indicated they were making NIL deals with both men and women athletes, but I have not seen a peep about it over in this forum. Just curious how others feel about it. Basically I am fine with it although there is still a nagging part of me that wonders when a top recruit/transfer announces they coming to UT, is it because of the money. I guess it doesn’t matter as long as they are of good character and work hard for the team. But if they are getting a nice check to come here, it makes it harder for me to think of them as VFL.
Anyone have thoughts on the matter concerning WBB??? I think the consensus on the football side is that as long as we are at or near the top in giving out NIL deals, then it is good.
