Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava holding out for more NIL money. UPDATE: Nico enters transfer portal and going to UCLA

[Bigblackted4]

Whats worse? Nico is not obligated to stay at Tennessee, just like his coach isnt obligated.

Players getting exploited is worse than players getting their fair value. As an LSU fan I was happy to see Bryce get paid more to go to Michigan, cuz I wanna see these brothas get everything that their predecessors never did.


These boys generate 8 or 9 figures and football aint forever, word to Marcus Lattimore


edit: Yall would leave your current company for a chance at a 50k pay raise. Theres a team thats gonna give Nico a 500k+ pay raise.

Facts and whoever does it is stupid

Damn I feel sorry for the nikka now

“With Coach Heupel and Tennessee furious about the situation, they made the only decision that made any sense at that point, moving on from their talented signal caller. Tennessee AD Danny White was a major part of that final decision, and sounds like he gave the last nudge to cut the cord.”


So in other words, Tennessee cut the cord they weren’t obligated to Nico exactly what I was saying, there is no obligation.

Hope breh finds a team and gets paid, these cac coaches do the same thing as him and no one trips.

You didn't address a single damn thing I said.

That's good that you want them to get paid, nobody is against that, however....

1. Nobody wants to go into a season thinking you have a qb, then suddenly some team just randomly comes and pulls them away last minute. Like wth. Now you have no relevant QB and no time to recruit anyone, you just get portal leftovers .

2. You are ruining the game if you think that's acceptable for that to be the norm operation.

3. This dude is not even that good. So what that does now is ruin the market for overrated players to get paid way too much.

If I had my way, you are signing out of high school for a minimum of 2 yrs. After that, you can transfer etc and you must transfer within a small window and tampering is monitored.

I'm glad Heupel told him to kick rocks after skipping out on practices etc. trying to hold the team hostage.

Like it or not, fans will stop paying big money to attend games, etc if this continues.

I did address it by asking you whats worse


Nico can ask other teams if they are paying more if he wants, heck Nick Saban brought in an entire recruiting class then retired.

Tennessee made the decision to kick Nico off the team, neither party is obligated to each other.

Y’all search for jobs on indeed that offer 30k more but mad at Nico for searching for jobs that could possibly pay millions more in a career that doesn’t last long



The game was ruined when players were getting exploited and coaches was on BS for decades.

He must be good, be brought Tenn to the playoffs. Bet they dont make it this year.




Yall
want these young men to be slaves to a school so bad, its kinda weird tbh

The Athletic informally polled a half dozen personnel directors and the head of a name, image and likeness collective at a Power 4 school to find out. All staffers were granted anonymity in exchange for their candor.
“I wouldn’t be paying him more than $1 million to $1.5 million,” the NIL collective head said. “He will probably get $3 million-plus. Tough timing though. Gotta imagine most (schools) have spent their budgets.”

Though some staffers think Iamaleava still could get more than the $2.2 million he was slated to receive from Tennessee this year, approaching the $4 million he reportedly was asking for seems challenging. In 13 games last season, Iamaleava threw for 2,616 yards and 19 touchdowns with five interceptions while completing 63.8 percent of his pass attempts.

“If you’re a QB away from being a Playoff team, I totally understand getting in the $2 million range,” a Power 4 director of player personnel said. “I think he’ll get in the $3 million range, but anything more is hard. Especially with how nobody knows what’s going on exactly with revenue sharing and how collectives are going to work moving forward.”

Multiple staffers didn’t feel Iamaleava was worth what he was getting at Tennessee.
“(I’d pay him) $500,000 with big incentives,” a second Power 4 personnel director said. “He’ll get more than he deserves.”
A Power 4 general manager said Friday he thought Iamaleava was worth “right around what Tennessee’s paying him, possibly even less, maybe $1.5 million to $2 million. Nico isn’t just amazing. There’s a bunch of quarterbacks that are better than Nico.”

He ain't even worth a mil wit a mil in his pocket

Bruh could y’all stop saying this? He played mid behind one of the most QB friendly systems, had the best RB in the SEC and the best defense in the league, he wasn’t the reason Rocky top was nice this year
