The only teams that compete now have money.

I don’t understand how college athletes being paid is going to ruin football? Like you said, they’ve been getting paid for years anyways. Did Erik Dickerson ruin college football when he took all that

So totally fine for HC's to make a 7 figure salary (soon to be 8) while the players (whom are the reason why they can make such a figure) receive practically nothing? Football is the only sport w

And I don't believe Tennessee, the state will allow high school kids to take NIL money. If I'm not mistaken (I might be) only 2 states allow it. And Nico's 8 million will likely pale in comparison to whatever crazy number Arch Manning gets

Don't think money will be the deciding factor for Arch. Tha Manning family has money already.  His decision will most likely be based on the school that he, Cooper, and Archie believe can prepare him for an NFL career. That will be a long term decision,  not short term, IMO.

The simple answer to your question..

The reason the  Vols can't fill up neyland consistently is because they haven't been consistent winners. That's the only reason don't kid yourself about the rest.

Of course that's apart of it but a lot has changed to run a lot of people off. I took time to ask one of my vendors I buy building products from why they didn't give out tickets last year as in years before. They told me the whole idea that it was for their loyal customers and what was happening they weren't showing up and giving the tickets to someone else and for some of the games against weaker teams nobody was coming so they just scrapped the idea after 2020.They were even providing free food for a tailgate party every game. The guy I ask said it's bad when you have to hit a man over the head with a bat to get him to come by to eat a free steak have a couple of beers and give him a free ticket to a football game

I agree completely, but Arch is the exception not the rule. Not many kids have the background and support from people who only have their long term best interests in mind, and none will have it from family who know the business like the Mannings.

Absolutely. Same reason Peyton was able to stay his senior year at Tennessee.  Money wasn't the most important consideration. 

 

And I have no issues with NIL, other than that the laws need to to standardized across the board and not individually state by state. Right now it's the wild, wild west.

I’m hearing some rumors that Stars and RW87 are about to launch their own Spyre group up at 825. Instead of cash,  maybe start with free access to megaphones and touchdown cookies.

18,19,20 year old college boys with a million dollars in their pockets. What could possibly go wrong.

Happens to high school kids taken in the baseball draft every year. 

The ones who make it have good advisors and parents behind them.  The ones who don't generally blow golden opportunities to get ahead in life.  

But either way its reality in this day and time. 

NIL is here to stay.

Probably some similar things as when 35 yr olds get that much money, or 55 yr olds for that matter.

I’d like to give it a try! lol

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By boyfromsi · Posted

      I would have to think that the firing of the 2 teachers is just the beginning of future moves.  If not, it is woefully short.  If the AC school board thinks that the damage is just limited to Clinton, they are sadly mistaken.  Any outsider would view the whole school system as suspect, and rightly so.

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By HTV · Posted

      Yeah. AC brass walked in to the building at Clinton and suggested that the principal start changing grades.  Honesty, the notion that anybody at AC was involved is just idiocy.  The ones who are hurt most are the kids who weren't involved in the cheating, but still are being penalized by college admission decisions and scholarship consideration simply because they went to a school that was involved in such a scandal.

      Clinton names new OC

      By oridgecat · Posted

      I heard it was ugly.  Coach Harig and the Redskins demolished what is left of the Dragon Wagon.  At this point, it is not certain that Clinton will even be able to field a football team for 2024.  No way the coach keeps his job, transfers gone, nothing left.  Back to the stone ages for the Dragoons.

      Not even close, changing over 1000 grades?  Head coach changing grades to keep players on the field?  Not the same.  They will give Lieutenant Flip Flops the "Opportunity to resign"  right after graduation if not before.     Negative, the juvenile court judge blew the whistle.  Clinton admin, teachers and coaches started this fire.  Been going on for 4 years now according to Jones, one of the teachers that was fired.  This is truly pathetic.   The Dragon Wagon is #### up in the ditch down on highway 61 down there near The Spur.  Reap what you sew.
