You saved me from reading the novel you just typed. D@mn…be more concise. I don't need to read a bunch of fluffed up similes trying to justify Tennessee's cheating culture.
Huh? Say it ain’t so

It's been years since we've had competent leadership on the hill. As a Vol fan it's super refreshing to know we finally have leaders with a brain steering the ship again.

This isn't a cut and dried issue like you want it to be. You want rules broke. Tennessee bad. That's not how it works in this. I am just trying to explain the deal and why you aren't seeing it for what it is. If you're too lazy to read and understand and give an informed opinion I'd sit this one out
I just wanted to say it's absolutely hilarious to see Bandwagon Nation in their glass house throwing rocks as if alabama never cheated to get recruits.

Don't look now but the NCAA just flexed back https://www.wsmv.com/2024/01/31/ncaa-releases-statement-after-vast-response-tennessee-investigation/
"While the NCAA generally does not comment on specific infractions cases, it is important to remember that NCAA member schools and conferences not only make the rules but routinely call for greater enforcement of those rules and holding violators accountable. In recent years, this has been especially true as it relates to establishing and enforcing a consistent set of national rules intended to manage the name, image and likeness environment. This legal action would exacerbate what our members themselves have frequently described as a "wild west" atmosphere, further tilting competitive imbalance among schools in neighboring states, and diminishing protections for student-athletes from potential exploitation. The NCAA remains firmly committed to protecting and expanding student-athletes' NIL rights and opportunities. However, our membership has steadfastly supported the prohibition on impermissible recruiting contacts, booster involvement in recruiting prospects and the use of NIL offers as recruiting inducements."

What is funny is the vols apparently are so dumb they cannot cheat and get away with it. Even though "cheating" is a "culture" at tn according to the NCAA. One would think they would be better at it. LMAO

Everyone just chill, everyone and their dog is saying Tennessee will crush the ncaa
The key word in your statement is highlighted.
Alabama absolutely has had their fair share of recruiting violations and has been penalized accordingly.
Did you watch that video yet?

I have. What is your point with it exactly? Spyre works and represents athlete's and negotiates deals with the vol club (the collective). None of this is a secret. On paper they can represent any athlete to any school. That's what is legally down. In reality they send them to UT. Not they're funny the athletes chose the vol club and UT
. That's who their connection is to. Remember in court it's not what you know and think. It's what you can legally prove. This is a release from spyre's lawyer regarding Nico and his contract and recruitmentAttachments

Exactly what I've been saying. It was a sham contract. Everyone knows it. I'm sure they did their due diligence to close any loopholes but we all know what went on.
