Per this chart of TOTAL collective NIL for each school, Tennessee is only at basically $12 million total for all athletes. No way to justify paying $4 million to one QB, and screw the rest of the athletes at the school.

This chart is wrong

I imagine that he is prioritizing the type of football he wants to play and thinks it’ll be better for good career moving forward than staying. Asking for 4 was to tax TN, a place he didn’t want to be and (to him) would hurt his stock. He signed for 2mil with them and left to go to LA for 2mil. So same contract he already had but in LA instead of NW Tennessee.

This is what I personally believe so who tf knows forreal. But his family also just came out and said that’s it’s about football and not the money so it lines up to me. He wants to run his own offense and UCLA will let him. He was taxing TN with the 4mil to make it worthwhile to stay.

Bro took a shot, missed and landed at UCLA...game is the game. I've been in the CCC this weekend after coming home from Nashville and every good ol boy in here (boosters) have said the same shyt.

Y'all over thinking the hell out of this, Nico was a fukking God in Knoxville and he was happy. His dad just tried to squeeze some more juice out of the big orange and the numbers ain't match up (yet).

How is this a win? Way less money, worse football team, and his reputation just got dragged.

Nico is being paid more than 99.99% of QBs (or anyone) that has ever played CFB to play in front of his friends and family in the best city of the USA in an offense he thinks will better prepare him for a pro career.

Winning :win:
