Now college football knows how UK basketball fans have felt since Cal got here. Brand new rosters every year are frustrating. Ironically, it seems that UK basketball's rosters are more stable now during the transfer portal era. We'll see how the football team does in the coming years.
No, not really. You've railed on the UT QB agreement. How about trying it this way. What is pay for play?
Not really? "They pay recruits, that's breaking the rules. You know, cheating. Tennessee is a dirty program. Why does basic stuff that everyone knows have to be explained to yall?"
They're not dirty tho. Literally paying cash to recruits in McDonald's bags and dude has the nerve to ask how they're dirty in some weird attempt at a gotcha question to defend the indefensible.
It isn't a gotcha question. The simple point of the matter with Tennessee is their state law. It specifically allows them to use NIL and collectives during recruiting. Whether you like it or not and whether its fair or not, UT isn't cheating.
Other states will adopt. Surprised Texas hasn't already after Quentin left early for Ohio.
I'm not familiar with the player but he must be generational type talent. Probably just a rental but they are going to get his mom a place in Georgia as well according to the article.
The state law can allow them to get 8 points per TD, that's not gonna fly in an NCAA football game under NCAA rules and guidelines. If you dont want to follow NCAA rules leave the NCAA. The rules are clear, there is no gray area. NCAA athletes can make money off of their name image and likeness. You cannot however promise recruits compensation as Tennesse does. They are blatantly cheating.
Umm, those 2 things aren't analogous at all and yes, state law can override the NCAA. If you think it can't you're simply wrong and Tennessee state law allows for this. For you to think there isn't any gray area is amusing. Are you really that obtuse? Law ALWAYS has gray areas and so do less stringent NCAA rules and/or guidelines. Just so we're clear, you are saying the University of Tennessee is paying the QB directly, is that correct?
If I were a wealthy booster wanting to give out cash to buy recruits, I'd spend on nothing but 5* qbs & 5* d linemen. Every other position in CBF is pretty hit or miss on who turns out to be great transitioning from hs to college.
Yall are claiming the collective offered a recruit $8 million. Im saying collectives or programs offering NIL money in the recruiting process to recruits as an inducement is a clear NCAA violation. There is no gray area, they are blatantly violating the rules again.
You said UT is paying the player, it is not. The NCAA left specific rules to the states. Tennessee has a state law that specifically allows collectives to be introduced to recruits. You need to just take your loss and accept it. You're dead wrong here.
I said Tennessee got busted paying recruits cash in McDonald's bags. Tennessee doesn't even refute that but you do. Yall claimed that a Tennessee collective paid a recruit $8 million, that is absolutely a violation. Saying to a recruit we have this NIL money from the collective is also absolutely a NCAA violation. Read the rules, they're plain as day. Tennessee is blatantly cheating. Sugarcoat it all you want but that dirty trash program is doing what they always do, CHEAT! They just got a notice of allegations from the NCAA with 18 level 1 violations, and they continue to cheat with collectives using inducements for recruits.
I just read thru the notice of allegations again and I don’t see anything about UT paying any players with McDonald’s bags.
I'm not even talking about that. I've never been talking about anything other than the here and now. Yes, they cheat and yes they now "legally" cheat. How many times do I have to tell you, Tennessee State law allows them to use collectives during recruiting. It even allows the school and program to fundraise for the collective. It is being done out in the open for everyone in the NCAA to see and you will never see the NCAA challenge them over it. Regardless of the angle they might try to use, it will come down to some artificial barrier preventing kids from receiving their full market value and the courts won't allow it.
Keep this same energy when they get popped by the NCAA. Keep saying it was legal by state law.
Good lord you're hard headed. You do realize state laws can, but don't necessarily, supercede private organization rules. I wish we could make a wager on this.
