Looks like they won their first game 15-13. No clue if it was a season game or pre-season.

Looking for a way to get him more NiL?

Or he/she was a Vandy grad.

almost spewed my drink on my screen laughing when I read this. Priceless!

It was the 70’s. I remember the NCAA reprimanded a school because a GA gave a player a ride across campus on a golf cart. Their reasoning is that he received a benefit not offered to other students. Yet when a player received a benefit offered to all students they still punish. NCAA’s absurd...

I never in my life thought I would see those 2 words used in the same sentence on TideFans 🤣

I am not a huge fan of AL.com but I do like Casagrande’s take on this. https://www.al.com/sports/2026/02/casagrande-take-that-24-team-college-football-playoff-plan-and-shove-it.html

NCAA is desperately trying to stop the flood but doing all the wrong things.

You know that Australian rules football is a professional league. Even though they don’t play the same game they sure use the same skills for the position they are all playing.

Pay for play deals disguised as NIL are rampant and seem to be simply ignoring the requirements to go through the clearing house, obvious tampering, 27 year olds being granted 8 years of eligibility…. Pretty much have to burn the whole thing to the ground and start over. No school or player...

So back-channel is the only way, but in the end it’s still happening and the NCAA continues to look the other way.
