The state attorney general and the state has sued the NCAA. Glad they have the guts to do it. UK should have sued them years ago there was never any evidence UK sent money to Chris Mills.

Tell us what you REALLY think about him ukjenning! 🤣I hate Louisville but they are stupid for rolling over and letting the NCAA take that 2013 banner.
I will say if the NCAA tried stripping us of a banner, Brainfart would probably take it down and hand deliver it to NCAA headquarters himself.
I don’t know how the man functions with no spine and no balls!
I’ve told him (well probably his staff) in a few emails. Some of the staffers probably laugh but some probably agree 😃Tell us what you REALLY think about him ukjenning! 🤣
Vols have blatantly flaunted their NIL recruiting of top players.If your as guilty as Tennessee is what have you got to lose
Give me your email address, mother's maiden name, and last four digits of your social security number and I'll check for you. I know a guy who's high up in Internet Management who can find these things out.So how can you tell if your email has been blocked? 😂😂
Yep, this is true. They could have come out smelling like a rose if they had taken the initiative and created a system that would work. But since they waited for the courts to force them, they ended up trying to manage it after Pandora's box was already opened.NCAA completely dropped the ball on NIL and the transfer portal. They had years to come up with a workable system but stuck their head in the sand and waited for the courts to force their hand. Now it's a free for all and they probably won't be able to put the genie even halfway back in the bottle.
Do you need my credit card number as well? LolGive me your email address, mother's maiden name, and last four digits of your social security number and I'll check for you. I know a guy who's high up in Internet Management who can find these things out.
Any system that isn't entirely open for the student to pursue (and maximize) their free market and educational opportunities at will is doomed to failure. Any other system is unAmerican. The only system that would work, is no system.Yep, this is true. They could have come out smelling like a rose if they had taken the initiative and created a system that would work.

Just curious, but if there is no eligibility rules or enforcement, why would college sports be interesting, and more importantly, do you think UK could compete in such an environment? My meaning on being interesting is if all players go the highest bidder, then who really cares about most games being played, or championships, for that matter. As much as I hate the NCAA, college sports needs rules and enforcement, just like pro sports needs rules and enforcement.Any system that isn't entirely open for the student to pursue (and maximize) their free market and educational opportunities at will is doomed to failure.

The NCAA should stay out of eligibility rule creation and enforcement, and they just might survive. They run a good tournament, that's enough.
Yes, thanks to the imaginative, genius leadership of Mark Emmert.Yep, this is true.

It's not really on Emmert. At the end of the day the NCAA just represents the member institutions. If the schools themselves actually wanted to have come up with a workable NIL framework the NCAA would have done it. They were fine with the arrangement where they made all the money and only had to give athletes free tuition and didn't want to upset the apple cart.Yes, thanks to the imaginative, genius leadership of Mark Emmert.

Statutes of limitations were up decades ago for anything we could sue for. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love this idea ❤️If UK sued them for that now, could they vacate losses?
If this is your position then what stops a player from only playing 4 years? Do they even have to go to class or pass? Hell, why can't colleges bring back 30 year Olds if they want? Or what stops someone from transferring midyear and suiting up for a new team? All of those are eligibility issues and you need some way to have a standard.Any system that isn't entirely open for the student to pursue (and maximize) their free market and educational opportunities at will is doomed to failure.

Certainly, UK could compete in basketball, there are only five guys on the court at one time and it's more important (to our fanbase anyway) than football. Our resources will be directed toward basketball. Football, I'm not sure about.Just curious, but if there is no eligibility rules or enforcement, why would college sports be interesting, and more importantly, do you think UK could compete in such an environment?

These are still colleges which serve a purpose much greater than basketball. They set their own admission requirements and qualifying standards to play already. The NCAA has set minimum standards, but the institution standards are all over the board. Bottom line, to play you need to be enrolled... and think all universities will agree to that... after all, it is what they exist for.If this is your position then what stops a player from only playing 4 years?

1) Amateur status means nothing anymore.I believe one of the main points of contention could be that the Tn QB in Question may have received substantial $$$ while still in high school which could have an adverse effect on his amateur status which was the ???? about Big z. Of course Forde reported it involved several athletes in several sports
Following that position would destroy competitive balance and make a mockery of college sports.These are still colleges which serve a purpose much greater than basketball.

Personally, I don't care if a 30-year-old college student plays... I feel that is much better than the arbitrary arrangement they have now.
If a University wants to admit and enroll a transfer midway through the season, sobeit. Though, I suspect most have policies against it. I can quit my job and take another at any time, but I can't very easily enroll in ongoing classes at another university in late-March.
Realize that UT didn't sue he NCAA. The Tennessee state AG and Virginia state AG sued the NCAA.If UK sued them for that now, could they vacate losses?
No it wouldn't, it is actually having the opposite effect on the competitive balance.Following that position would destroy competitive balance and make a mockery of college sports.
At this point just unionize it and via collective bargaining that would actually allow for transfer rules with teeth and something workable.
Doing a system of unlimited free agency and no salary cap will doom college athletics in the long hail a cripple programs with fewer resources like ours.
they now join UNC, Duke & Kansas as untouchableVols have blatantly flaunted their NIL recruiting of top players.
The only concrete rule that applies to NIL is that it can't be used as a recruiting incentive.
How many other schools have you seen or heard publicly boasting about offering an incoming freshman $8M if he stays 4 years at UT or $2M per year for however long he does stay????
The other schools at least TRY to hide it or deny it happening with their recruiting.
Not UT. They are above the law. Or at least they think they are.
Other schools demanded they investigate UT.
If NCAA loses this one, they are finished as ruling board for D1 schools.
And replace it with what?Good for them. Hope schools start tearing down the NCAA piece by piece.
UNC beat them because it was academic fraud. Not athletics.UNCheat drew up the game plan on how to beat the NCAA (lawyer-up)!
