1st CFB NIL Holdout

[hometown frog]

All part of the market trying to stabilize to me. Players and teams are still figuring it all out.

 

[AroundWorldFrog]

Didn't go well.

 

[An-Cap Frog]

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

Nico Iamaleava? Never heard of him.

 

[bmoney214]

It's Tennessee's fault. They should have seen this coming. His last name warned them.

Iamaleava- I am a leava(er)

 

[FroggleRock]

Wow, I didn’t actually think they would tell him to go kick rocks. Props to Tennessee for setting a precedent!

 

[Chongo94]

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."

 

[HToady]

Shouldn't their be some kind of formula that directly relates to Name, Image, and Likeness. For example, how many jerseys, of T-shirts that sold with your name on them or how many ticket sales are directly attributed to your presence, or even a perentage of the total gate predicated on your contributions towards wins? I'm sure someone a MIT could come up with a tried and true formula????

 

[Frog DJ]

Somehow, I don’t think this worked out the way this QB expected…

Go Frogs!

When I saw her face, I'm a leava(er)!

The rumor was that Tennessee was looking for someone out of the Spring portal and Nico caught wind and asked for more money to push the issue.

 

[Spike]

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

What?

 

[PurplFrawg]

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

Yeah, but NONE that mean more.

 

[namollec]

Tennessee to Heupel

Someone
Else,
Coach

 

[y2kFrog]

What?

Olson’s tweet reads as if neither Tennessee or the QB have no options since the SEC doesn’t allow post spring transfers. It’s as if no were else in the world exists they could find a QB.

More like he broke wind...

Notre Dame passes on the passer.

Ive watched this kid in person (season tickets) for over a year.

He was way over paid for the quality of play. Misses wide open receivers, runs out of bounds at the wrong time. He just cannot process the defense quick enough.

Not to mention him being incredibly difficult to deal with off the field.

This was a Major Whiff by him and his parents.

I wonder if another school will pay him the $4M he wants.

Sounds like USC, Oregon and ND are all out on him. Curious what the market will be. Folks on Twitter speculating about BYU, UCLA and UNC

That was sarcasm.
