What was meant to be and what has become are two totally different things today.If the reports today are true, that he and other players were threatening to sit out of the playoffs unless paid more, then there needs to be an investigation of the entire NIL structure. Name, Image, and Likeness was never meant to be a pay-for-play structure as schools are prohibited from facilitating payments to athletes.

yup. that's a major oops moment he just woke up to.
oh, where actual value is shown and pay based on that? with kids these days?
like maybe he couldn't bail due to contractual language?
I'm sure that's what the Vols message boards say.
if stuff like that keeps up, there will be a rude wake up call when the school files for damages.If the reports today are true, that he and other players were threatening to sit out of the playoffs unless paid more, then there needs to be an investigation of the entire NIL structure.

When they decided it was ok for players to make money, the reality is that it would be impossible to regulate. So no need to really do any investigations, that's all they'd be doing all the time, is investigations. NIL was never meant to be pay for play but anyone with an ounce of foresight knew that is what it would become. And it did so immediately.If the reports today are true, that he and other players were threatening to sit out of the playoffs unless paid more, then there needs to be an investigation of the entire NIL structure.

To a certain extent it will regulate itself. How many schools will be wiling to pay Nico what he wants? This is the first retraction that we have seen, there will be more.
Remember how surprised everyone was when OSU blew out UT? I bet this was a big factor in the Vols' no-show in Columbus. If you are more interested in money than in winning, you have no chance to win at OSU.If the reports today are true, that he and other players were threatening to sit out of the playoffs unless paid more, then there needs to be an investigation of the entire NIL structure.

Not enough Starzies. Not flashy enough.
