ESPN article on Nico and Tenn

[MBDawg601]

I have never seen an article try to "save face" for a college player like that one... What a crappy article. They were acting as if Nico entered the portal before Tenn cut him, which was not the case. A good article would have been regarding how well Tennessee handled it and, ultimately, the pay cut that Nico had to endure because of his decision to ghost the program and make himself bigger than the team. ESPN never ceases to amaze me.

That's what treating student athletes like pros has gotten us (NIL and transfer rules); a bunch of inflated egos that think they are bigger than the team. I didn't get to practice or play today or Joe is making more money than I am, so I'm transferring ... boo hoo hoo!!! Get used to it! This is why people are turning away from college sports.

He wasn't cut from the team. They announced they would move on from him to the team and he officially entered the portal. The article seems accurate to me. They took quotes and stories from both sides. It's up to the reader to decide which side to believe if either.

ESPN credible ???????? Just acquire the Reggie Bush knowledge and learn that ESPN shortcomings. The Todd McNair trial exposed some of the media including ESPN as unreliable? After years of coverage of the Bush saga, the NCAA settled a lawsuit which was a defacto admission of NCAA guilt in dealing with Bush. ESPN was so lazy that it did not access the criteria that McNair legal firm ferreted out. ESPN never apologized for parroted info not discovered in house. Now Bush is going to either get a future court finding or settlement against the NCAA? Just understand that there is a lot of parroting and not investigating with the media, so really what do they really know?

It can get lonely out there when you cant figure out who dislikes you more between the Wokies or MAGAs. Remember the old black and white television show DRAGNET? "Just the facts Madam"? I wish Ronald Reagan could come back from the dead.
