Some really juicy offseason drama for the Vols this year. Here are the facts:

  • Nico was in Spring Camp and was seemingly both invested and invested in (Lots of reps, go pro mounting on helmet)
  • Story breaks on Thursday that Nico is in contract negotiations. (Word on the street is he wanted $4mil vs $2mil this year, possibly parent driven)
  • Nico misses practice Friday (Word is no call no show)
  • Heupel announces today that the Vols are moving on (specifically coverage seems to word it this way, rather than Nico moving on)
  • Orange and White game is also today, but no broadcast of any kind

Consensus opinions from Vol Nation seem to be:

  • Fuck NIL, we need contracts
  • Shitty of Nico to wait until the end of spring to pull this
  • Correct move from Heupel, culture over individuals
  • New QB competition drama just dropped

Fuck NIL, we need contracts

The genie's out of the bottle. I don't even pay attention until the close of fall camp anymore. Figure out a way to retain some essential nexus with the educational experience and sign these kids to three-year contracts with a two year option but also soccer-like buyout clauses.
