NIL Goes Nuts in Knoxville

Today we’re talking about Tennessee Football. Wow, what a mess they’ve made for themselves. In case you hadn’t followed, star Volunteer QB Nico Iamaleava decided recently to overplay what leverage he felt he had, and he essentially held out of Tennessee’s spring game to renegotiate a bigger NIL payday.

Well, it turns out that Josh Heupel and company wouldn’t play the game, and in essence told Iamaleava that he can just pack up and a-leave-a. Evidently they feel okay about their prospects at the position even at this late hour in the spring season.

I won’t get into the details, as there are a million stories written that you can track down to get a feel for the situation.
