I understand the sentiment and it's an easy narrative: A QB that the program spent a bazillion dollars to come here, that ultimately had a disappointing conference season and the offense struggled, and now he's asking for more money?? After "we've" opened the Pandora's box of NIL to get him and paid him millions?!

The problem is, Tennessee is only putting their foot down about Nico, not the trend. They are deciding they would rather move on and they'll just re-create this exact problem for another program by taking their QB. They have two freshman QBs that won't be trusted to start from day 1. Always nervous to see how this shakes out because this could be the first of many QB dominos as Tennessee will be dangling a lot of money to take over a team with expectations.

I think it is more complex than that. Timing is everything. Nico strategically waited until now to do this, thinking Tennessee would feel boxed in since Nico got all the first team reps in the off season. A day before the spring game too.

This isn't lost on the sports world. It is a rat move by Nico and he will be pre-judged by many because of it, and I think deservedly so.

Sounds like you're hinting at commits from both of the FL guys and more. Any hints on the breakdown of who we're going to be getting announced commitments from in the next few days based on their home state - i.e. 2 FL, ?? IL?
