this is not a nico issue, it's a systemic problem. we all know that. as for ut, the irony is deep, as they were the first to openly defy nil "rules" when they bought nico's services.

my guess is that purdue, indiana, syracuse, unc, or a middling program of their ilk will pickup his existing "contract." it won't be an sec school because they have "rules" against first year sec transfers playing.
Yeah, I watched sports talk show today too.Where the usual suspects did their usual takes and blame the system instead of the person that made the bad choices

From your previous post - the system has no rules or governing regulations

How can it have no rules or governing regs and still be a set of procedures or principles? Hell how can it be an organized framework or method if it has no rules or regs?

He can’t go to an SEC team. How many teams outside the SEC would spend 2.4 million on their QB? The typical suspects aren’t jumping in.

Oregon would, but Dan Lanning ratted him out rather than negotiate. USC and Notre Dame have said they aren’t interested. OSU supposedly likes their QB. Michigan already paid somebody else.

I hear Texas Tech is throwing money around, but then you are in the Big 12.

If it is true that he waited until the middle of spring ball to do this it is a poor move, it was an attempt at blackmail. Confident people who care about the organization but know their value dont need to use these tactics. I applaud Tennessee for exercising their right to say “see ya”, although they could relent. Wonder what theyd do if he said “ill just keep the 2.4”?

Even if nico gets his money , he is still going to be a dick and he's always going to be a dick and he did tennessee wrong
I accidently hit the "like" button your post.

As I related some time back, my daughter does some marketing for Nico. She does not deal directly with him but through a marketing agent. The agent always described him as a humble, soft spoken young man. He was never perceived as a brash, get all the gusto kind of kid but maybe the information she received was incorrect from the person who dealt directly with him.

It would see the article itself pointed to a hierarchy in the family and business relationship that put him down the list of importance. He was just the goose that laid the golden egg, not the gooses manager or parent or money person.

Couple days ago I thought this might ba a possibility, going back to Tennessee. But then I saw this video from a local UT podcaster…



Also a lot of scuttlebutt on X saying UT and Heuple are done with Nico and his idiot dad. People saying they wouldn’t take him back for free. But that’s probably a bit hyperbolic…

Texas Tech is the smart play.

Conference softer than babysit, built-in "best QB since Mahomes" comparisons and likely the most willing to pay.

The market sets the price … not his greedy dad. A big pay cut and a nice slice of humble pie … compliments of Minny🤣

I think what we are also seeing, like some of us have said, is that a lot of these reported NIL deals were just not all that close to the real amounts.

I’m loving how this is working out 😁

This was going to happen at some point, a player trying to hold out. And what Tennessee did needed to happen. With so little regulation and enforcement, schools and donors are the only ones that can reset or at least slow down this out of control NIL market. Schools and donors are starting accumulate data and starting to see their return(s) on these investments. On a macro level most of these big donors aren’t seeing adequate results and the employees just keep demanding more money. In the end, the people with the money control the market, and they’re pushing back.

Those are decent options/possibilities for Nico. But they won’t pay him the $4 million he wants. Nobody is gonna pay him one penny over the $2 million UT was paying him. Unless Nico can get 2 schools in a bidding war for him (unlikely) he won’t even get $2 million. As I said above, he’s created a situation where he needs a school more than a school needs him.
Watch out for SMU or Texas Tech. Even Oklahoma State might be in the mix. All have billionaires who like sports backing them.

I also feel like Heupel runs a system, where a lot of qbs can be success running it. Heupel himself is a biproduct of such a system at OU. All the milquetoast QBs that went through there and won heismans or had huge #s.
