That boy was practically begging to come home, Lincoln told him to kick rocks

You know he ass if Lincoln say I can’t fix him

I love to see these players treating it like a business.

If a player won't give you a long term contract I wouldn't sign the

It’s gonna be rough when the schools get more business minded and start treating players/students like the NFL does

 

[Bigwhite2498]

He is a rookie last year. Everyone isn't cam newton and isn't going to come out and win a title their first year starting.

He has to mature and learn the league and etc. he is solid and should have a great year

To say a rookie is garbage shows you don't have any objectivity or rationaliry

Wtf is that word? And he was ass so what he’s a Redshirt freshman now a true freshman so no you can’t use that excuse. And cam was like a fukking jr wtf are you talking about

You keep spamming this but nowhere in the tweet did it say NCAA has to be the one enforcing anything or creating said CBA.

Then who’s the enforcement arm genius? Every time there’s a situation like this, there’s first responses are saying the NCAA is fukkin up when all they’re doing is enforcing the rules the member schools vote to to instill. And if there is a CBA, that will be done at the conference level.

So who’s taking him?

USC don’t want him
Notre Dame don’t want him
Ohio State don’t want him
Michigan don’t want him
Oregon don’t want him
Penn State don’t want him
Miami don’t want him
Clemson don’t want him
None of the SEC schools can take him

nikka the news just broke of him leaving Tennessee two hours ago He can't even sign with a team until then portal opens next week…. The whole Big 10 is available the whole ACC is available the whole Big 12 is available... Thinking he has no options because a few thirsty reporters looking to get some clicks are claiming certain schools aren't interested is comedic

As someone who is new to the story, i wanna hear the story told fair and balanced. Is it 50-50 fault on both sides, or did tennessee already give him every dollar promised & now he wants more?

 

[Harry B]

Then mfs like his dumbass will start crying

They’re definitely gonna need some type of strong union, shyt is the Wild West now

 

[Left.A1]

Buhh buhh they “moved on from him” this young nikka been gone from that shythole.…now they're spinning it like Tennessee stood on business instead of getting stood up at the alter

And this goes to the larger point that in this era you're going to lose em how you got em…. He clearly only went to Tennessee for the bag in the first place... You think a young Cali nikka really wanted to be in bumfukk Tennessee? Lmao

He obviously never cared about that program or being a member of it and it was purely a bag play...they were desperate enough to comply at first but tried to change up and he told them that was going to cancel that bytch and get another one lol... Its the way of the world and programs better understand that when promising bags to these highschool players

The latter

He was paid in HS, paid before he started and paid now

NIL and transfer portal is essentially a free market, his dad seen Carson Beck from Miami got $4 mil this summer so they started hounding teams, Nico’s dad asked Oregon for bread reportedly too

 

[Bigwhite2498]

They’re definitely gonna need some type of strong union, shyt is the Wild West now

They not gonna get a union the minute they do then they lose leverage individually

 

[Silkk]

Stupid ass idiot tried to flex his “leverage” days before the spring game

 

[CBalla]

Making money not the problem them being unrealistic is. You not getting 4 million mid spring practice maybe he could’ve gotten that in January but not now

I truly dont care, the market will dictate if they are unrealistic.

I hope gets millions this is for all the brothas that packed them 90k stadiums and went home to their mommas who didnt have light bill money.

 

[Rekkapryde]

This isn't sustainable and the longer the NCAA waits the worse this shyt is gonna go...

The NCAA is as strong as its member schools.

The schools got what they wanted and now see that shyt aint sweet. Instead of coming up with a reasonable structure for nil, some schools wanted to do whatever they wanted and the NCAA said

Enjoy morons

 

[FaTaL]

I'm proud of Tenn for standing on bizz. This dude has the nerve to be selfish when he fukking sucks. College sports are done though.

You need to be selfish in football, you’re one injury away from being done and the nfl isn’t guaranteed
