Tenn QB skips practice over NIL

Listening to a podcast yesterday, they seemed to insinuate that a lot of this is not necessarily Nico but his camp (his dad and a friend).

Owners were found guilty, had to pay restitution over a three year period and several players including Kirk Gibson and Jack Morris were awarded free agency. The owners were found guilty of this because it violated the labor agreement with the MLBPA.
However, there is no such system in place in this stupid, rouge shite that we are calling college athletics, so collude against these spoiled babies. That'd stop this horse crap, but you know there are Ole Miss' out there who'd break rank to sign these shitheads.

I get your point but not in this case. Kiffin knows this guy ain't a real QB.

One of them is most likely a "reverend".

We destroyed everyone in our region, but still couldn't compete with the old power programs like SW Dekalb and Valdosta. That was 1990. Recruiting in high school football in Georgia is as old as the game itself.

They police it more now but someone has to report it. Kids are driving an hour to school just to play football at a certain place. Gwinnett County's biggest import is high school athletes.
