If Nico lived up to the hype and was a Heisman finalist and was a big reason Tennessee ended up in the playoffs, he would’ve gotten the raise simple as that.
His pops tried to get a raise before the Ohio State game but they knew he got carried the playoffs as opposed to carrying the Vols to the playoffs but Nico played anyway, then thought they had leverage at the end of spring and Tennessee didn’t budge.
This is all the NCAA’s fault anyway, they had 25-30 years to make sure this didn’t happen. Everybody knows players should get paid but the NCAA could’ve had some structure in place but they wanted to fight a losing battle instead, now they’re a powerless organization. The only way this gets fixed is a split from the NCAA.
Dude about to go from 10-3 and playoff spot with a solid defense to
Hes not going to get 4 million and end up on trash UCLA or someone else with a shytty defense and his numbers really going to look like shyt

Counterpoint: What if black folks wanted to see him succeed at Tennessee and thought he was in a great position to one day go to the NFL. He was already getting $2 million year for not the greatest of play, and I believe the Tennessee was even paying him while he was in high school. I get your extreme militant stance, but this is also people believing, at least on the surface level, that he was in a great f*cking position at Tennessee to succeed and it appears that his family could potentially ruin his career. Nico at another school is a complete mystery going forward. Either he plays well and still has a NFL trajectory or he falls off the map and becomes DJ 2.0. This is deeper that just some "cacs are doing to too" sh*t.
Yes and no. If you look at the history of Division 1 sports and how BM got a seat at the table, you can't dismiss some of the underlying historyHe not even black
Y’all gotta chill trying to be militant with everything
But they leave. And they are supposed to be the grown ups in these young mens lives.
Theres nothing militant about my stance, I certainly am biased for the players (while admitting that Nico should not have skipped practices)
But thats only because I KNOW the ncaa and these cac coaches been on some BS for decades
So I want the players to push the boundaries because they deserve the lions share of the pay.
If its ok for the coaches to do it, then its ok for the players is my stance.

Too many of these kids have over-inflated egos, and the biggest problem is this kid Nico could be the tipping point of this whole NIL thing. Im all for kids getting money, but not every kid deserves millions of dollars. Not every school is balling like that. You already had $2.2 in hand, and decided to ask for a 85% raise off of a good but not great 10 win season is crazy work. Ask for $2.5 or $2.7, not $4. This kid aint Heisman level or anything. Plus, schools have 85 football, 30 basketball, and plenty of other sports where each of those kids want something. They cant give one mediocre QB the whole bag.
Just dumb.

Your theory is correct. But the problem is there are many more players to pay then coaches, so they are already getting the lions share (in todays NCAA). It cant go to one QB. What about the receivers? The LBs? DBs? Both lines? He isnt out there alone.

Coaches only leave when they have something lined up ready to sign. If Nico has some team out there ready to give him more then Tennessee then this is all moot. But it seems like he's jumped to the portal looking for more and no one is bitting, that's where he fukked up. Teams have known since December he was available to the highest bidder
Just like NIL was implemented, it can be reversed

It’s honestly a shame Nico’s father is a dummy because dude is physically built like a Justin Herbert/Josh Allen: prototypical mobile, big arm QB that can make throws on the run and truck someone if they need to.
Dude out there straight up calling people a “bytch” on social media and telling his kid to strong arm his way when he it’s clear Nico needs better QB fundamentals. It ain’t too late because Josh and in some ways Herbert (a little less so) were raw coming into the league but the big difference is they seemed coachable which made front offices more willing. shyt like this sabotages your reputation in the league. Now dude probably needs to spend an extra year in college.
