[Chongo94]

Tennessee’s qb is apparently wanting 2 million more dollars as part of his deal and no-showed the first day of practice.

$2 million MORE on top of what he’s made already…for a QB that didn’t even have a top-30 QBR, and only threw over 200 yards 4 times. Let him sit. Hell, let him walk.

He’s gonna find out real quick how unfriendly Tennessee people can get.

Agreed, that’s worse than fuzzy math.

Guaranteed that they'll pay him. Reason: they will fear the recruiting backlash coming from other SEC schools telling players that "UT can't be trusted....they won't pay up."

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

The QB for UNLV sorta did this last year, although he claimed it was a dispute over lack of payment of $$ already promised, not simply wanting more.

Not only did Tennessee pay him millions, they also went to the mat for him in court vs. the NCAA (and won)

Saw a stat where he threw for 19 TDs last season...11 of which were against UTEP, Chattanooga and Vandy

It just pays more.

Tennessee can do just as well (or even better) for way less. 100% they should tell him to go kick rocks.

Edit: It does appear that they have in fact told him to go kick rocks.

Breaking news....there are other conferences besides the SEC.

Let that be a warning shot across the bow of all the kids that think they are irreplaceable. Like the old curmudgeon said, "The graveyards are full of guys that thought they couldn't be replaced."

There's always someone younger, quicker, and hungrier than you...

 

[LisaLT]

I never heard of him. But this is absurdly greedy for an average QB, and short sighted.

I agree.

The first thing I thought when I heard this was if there was ever a replacement level player, he is the definition.

Sources: Vols moving on from QB Iamaleava

Tennessee is moving on from starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava, sources told ESPN, in the wake of his decision to not attend practice Friday amid NIL contract discussions with the school.

From the article on espn.com. Dude was already getting paid in high school and would have ended up making close to $10 million had he stayed at Tennessee.

That's scheissing insane!
