NIL not sustainable

[Tskware]

This is a stiff breeze compared to the hurricane ahead.

Thanks to both Tucker C and Laura I for their always insightful political commentary

I'm wondering if UK could consider changing shoe companies to find another one that is willing to hand out some big NIL money, ala UL and Adidas.

Being with Nike we are just another fish in their big pond, and not near the top of their priority list. Something I hope Mitch is looking at.

That's why I'm saying schools like TN and now Auburn, long time cheaters who know how to insulate their athletic depts, are funneling some of their TV money to boosters who in turn funnel it back into their NIL programs. Guaranteed it's happening.

This. The engine will fill the pockets of the biggest business alumni who will then feed it back to the program.

The state of TN passed NIL legislation that ALLOWS the schools to participate in NIL, while at the advice of some well known administrators, the Commonwealth of Kentucky passed NIL legislation that PREVENTS the scholls from participating in NIL.

Anything UT does in funding NIL is pretty much legal.

Now why do you think Kentucky and especially administrators would not want the schools to participate in NIL funding?

That is my understanding of both states NIL legislation based on what little information is out there for the public.

Please feel free to correct me if you have information different from this. I am SURE about Tennessee legislation allowing schools to participate in NIL and as long as gas and diesel fuel is priced where it is today, the Haslems will never run out of NIL money to buy players for the Vols.

Yet the Haslems spend like crazy to fix the Browns and suck lol

They haven't been real successful at UT the past 15 years.
But that doesn't stop them from trying.
