Vols' in trouble? Again in 2024.

Legal.

Kid is from Cali. Legal to pay HS players before enrollment in Cali.

We were set to do the same thing with Jaden Rashada. He was supposed to film LifeWallet ads in Cali while he was still in HS. And get paid for it.

We did pay Rashada while he was in high school, just not through LW. Harlan demanded more. And Nico’s issues have nothing to do with California law.

Yes. The PJ is bull**** under any set of rules.

Drunken name change. My drunken alter ego could’ve at least gone with JennStrawleysBabyDaddy. I’m trying it out

I actually like that name as well.

I don't want to hear **** from the "the rules are so vague, everyone is committing violations" crew.

THAT is a violation, under any circumstances, under any rules.

Gonna need a response from @FrostyVFL - He’s likely to say that his sources said it was a Greyhound Bus

Yeah, of course that’s what they are going to say as it’s correct in terms of NIL.

What you can’t do is fly people around and pay for their private jets.

Looks like they slapped some meat on that nothing burger.

NCAA is comprised of member institutions, of which Tennessee, Miami and all these schools are members. At the end of the day, Tennessee and the members need to quit *****ing and come up with rules dealing with NIL. Can’t ***** about rules that you yourself signed off on.

It seems like everyone has had enough of the NCAA.

On the surface, this looks like a reasonable argument against the NCAA, but I’m biased.

Yeah - it's a collective (no pun intended) circular firing squad.

- The coaches and schools complain that other schools are paying recruits and guardrails are needed
- NCAA puts rules in place
- Schools (often the same ones complaining) then break said rules
- NCAA tries to enforce them
- Schools breaking rules complain that NCAA can't enforce rules or they aren't fair

And both the NCAA and the Schools are right and wrong.

For the rules they are trying to enforce...

- Even if the schools did agree to it, are the rules legal (probably not)
- Even if the rules are legal, how do you prove intent
- Even if the rules are legal, in the case of UT they are trying to enforce the breaking of rules before the rules were in place
- Rules include such gems as the following:

- A school cannot communicate with the collective​

- If a collective breaks a rule we are going to hold the school accountable even though they are not allowed to communicate​

Basically the NCAA AND the schools (Presidents, ADs and coaches) have spent so much time trying to figure out how to enforce rules to try to stop something that they can't legally stop when they could have been using that time to try to figure out an approach that would work with the new world we are living in.
