5*
#1 rated ATH in 2019 class.
Top 10 overall player in 2019 class.
3 years left to play
Vols getting some players
So in two days vols get a 5* from the 2021 class, a 5* from 2019 class. And they got a 5* QB locked up in the 2023 class. Look for them to add a couple more big names

The double edged sword of the transfer portal.
Glad to have him hope all pans out and the potential for him & Tillman next year is a pretty high ceiling I think.

Bru McCoy? Enrolled at USC in 2019, then Texas, then back to USC, then Texas again, then USC now UT?
Carnell Tate and Branden Iniss tweeting each other about the NFL draft, so I'm feeling good and figure Bru just got Carnell's $$$

All about the money now USC Is looking to replace him with the Pittsburgh WR that had 1500 yards last season. they say a NIL deal worth millions is in his future. Texas, UGA, Bama seem to be in on this guy it's probably gonna come down to who writes the biggest check
Carnell will get his cash From OSU more then likely.... maybe it will turn out better then that QB they gave 1.4 million and a brand new f250

His a headcase. But a good wr. If he sticks he will be a good addition
I agree. I felt the same about the Nolan kid that went to Texas a &m . 4 high schools in 4 years. Got to be a problem.
Sounds like NCAA is looking to try to regulate NIL in some form or fashion.

Yeah multiple players have came out and said give me x amount of money or I'm hitting the portal and going to the highest bid. is what they are looking to stop from what I understand. Pretty much college football free agency or buying other teams players.
Every 5* and alot of 4* star player will be making millions as a freshman in college in the next couple years.

I believe it's to late they opened a can of worms they won't be able to close back even a little.
I don't really see what they could do as long as players can legally make money programs are going to do everything in the book.

If a player comes out and says I'm leaving your program because your not offering a big NIL deal and I will go to a program that will...I think that is a big problem right now.....what do you do?
Make a rule the player can't transfer?
Make a rule the player can't sign a NIL deal with another team?
I just don't see how you fix the major problems
I agree. But something has to give. It's gotten crazy in less than a year

Yeah it has, but they should have known it would be this way when they agreed. It wasn't difficult to see what it would become fast. It's the reason so many fans was against.They seen the writing on the wall before NIL even became a thing.So I don't see why they are acting shocked by some of the things going on. Acting like they are going to come up with some rules to fix things when in reality they are not going to fix a thing.
In another year or less that 8million UT gave that 5* QB will be chump change. And evey 5* player will be making millions
Yep. The scholarship was money the players were getting. I hate the NIL. I'd rather it still be under the table cheating.

I don't have a problem with players making some money. Regardless of what deal they sign in my opinion they should just receive a set amount each month let's say $3,000 and the rest goes into a trust for life after college. It could be a little more or less per month. But if they are a scholarship athlete a lot of their costs are already covered has far has food, room etc. No reason they couldn't live off of $3,000 a month. Plus this will save them on taxes. But I will agree it is getting out of control. I have already stopped watching pro sports and if college just becomes more of the same then it may cause me to lose interest also.

They already do. Called cost of attendance, because unlike other students, they aren't allowed to work while in school (and let's face it a lot of these athletes don't come from even middle class homes). Colleges are now giving them $5900 for top grades as a result of the US Supreme Court case the NCAA lost (non-athletes could get those bennies but not athletes). I have no issue with any of that. I have no issue with NIL. This is (still, I guess) a free country and any of us should be allowed to maximize our profit potential, whether we are an 18-22 year old athlete or a 60 year old.
My issue are the pay-to-play inducements being offered to recruits or portal guys by Tennessee, USC, Texas and other schools. Those are blatant violations of NCAA rules but not being enforced because the NCAA has an incompetent prez and they are afraid of being sued. Once the kid enrolls in school, allow them to max out on their NIL, but the pay-to-play has to stop.
So Tennessee, usc, Texas and other schools are doing this that your prestigious OSU isn't? Oh ok, got it. Don't fool yourself bud

It's true. No inducements to players who aren't enrolled. Alabama, Clemson aren't either. You are fooling yourself.
It will come to light soon enough

There's parts of this I'm not wild about and parts I don't fully understand but how in the hell did anybody think this was not going to be the outcome? Now a bunch of them are gonna jump up and down and say that's not fair?
I guess I'd be more pissed if we had a 1.5 million dollar deal for a QB to not play a down and go back home to Texas.
Wtf know that may be what happens with Nico, this is the wild west. But do I want my team utilizing the current situation to its potential or running around looking for the assistant principal? I'll take the former.

And it begins. Boosters (i.e., the "collectives") can't talk with recruits and can't offer them NIL or inducements deals to get them to attend a particular school. That's been a violation for decades, but basically now reiterated as one. And the NCAA is going to start investigating the violations that have occurred. Yes, I guess it all will come to light. Maybe, it's the NCAA (but Emmert is retiring).

Agree.
If this is the way things are gonna be done now I would rather my team do everything within the guidelines to take advantage/utilize the situation.
I would not want my program setting back complaining about the situation and not using it.
If someone honestly thinks they are a rule they can put in place to stop this craziness they are sadly mistaken. Probaby the same people that believe Derrick Henry didn't get a new high-end Dodge charger gave to him while playing for bama.

Hmmm, Saban being accused of tampering . Imagine that lol
You might want to read a little closer. A collective is not a booster. It may be funded by boosters, but it isn't what the NCAA is going after. I will be surprised if the collective at TN hasn't crossed all of their Ts and dotted all of their Is for the rules that were in place.
The schools crying the most about the NIL are the ones that were the most corrupt with the under the table stuff. They don't want to see their advantage going away. It might make those red Chargers a little less valuable in the recruiting process.

"The Division I Board of Directors on Monday issued guidance to schools regarding the intersection between recruiting activities and the name, image and likeness environment. .........
Specifically, the guidance defines as a booster any third-party entity that promotes an athletics program, assists with recruiting or assists with providing benefits to recruits, enrolled student-athletes or their family members. The definition could include "collectives" set up to funnel name, image and likeness deals to prospective student-athletes or enrolled student-athletes who might be considering transferring. NCAA recruiting rules preclude boosters from recruiting and/or providing benefits to prospective student-athletes. .........
The board noted that the emphasis of this NIL guidance is on boosters in the recruiting process and is not intended to question the eligibility of prospective and enrolled student-athletes involved in NIL deals. Only the most serious actions that clearly violate the previously published interim policy would have eligibility implications. ......."
I know what I'm reading. Not sure what you are. The "collectives" are booster organizations ostensibly set up to bring enrolled student-athletes NIL deals, but in some locations, cough Knoxville cough, apparently have morphed into pay-to-play HS or portal recruits and nothing more. TBD. You are correct, however, that has always been a violation of NCAA rules and this guidance means (a) those rules will now be enforced, and (b) including against the most egregious violators. " While the NCAA may pursue the most outrageous violations that were clearly contrary to the interim policy adopted last summer, our focus is on the future. The new guidance establishes a common set of expectations for the Division I institutions moving forward, and the board expects all Division I institutions to follow our recruiting rules and operate within these reasonable expectations," said board chair Jere Morehead, president, University of Georgia."
