Some here seem to think players at places like the Naval Academy don't have the same type of work/time commitment that exists at places like PSU.
FC/OT: U Tennessee QB renegotiating contract…
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
He saw Carson Beck get $4mm from Miami and thought he was worth the same. Nico threw 19 TDs last year; eight were against Vanderbilt and UTEP, four were against Kentucky, Mississippi State, and Kent State. That means against Georgia, Bama, Florida, Arkansas, OU, and NCST he threw seven. And none against OSU. Sure, pay him - to leave.
Big Nic, Overplayed my hand
It’s a different world from what we grew up with.
All his best stats were against the weaker teams .Did this dipsh|t tank the Tosu game? The vols did get BOAT. RACED.
.
Dropped off against the big boys .
Not that it matters but after this season I'm done. Hopefully the Lions win one and I can forget cfb for the rest of my life. These stories just reaffirm my lack of interest. We as adults destroyed cfb completely.
I will attend the Yale Harvard game several more times. And possibly Army Navy as a bucket list item, but I'll watch pro football exclusively after this season.

Exactly and he was playing on a team that had the talent to keep up with the big boys. I would get it if he was QB at Vanderbilt but he was at Tennessee and had the horses to run with the big boys. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out....

Got ya, but the one thing College Football still has over the pros is the pageantry. Hard to walk away from at this point, but I could see that fading in the near future. At that point, I'll be with you.
I have been losing a lot of desire for watching CFB as the NIL/transfer portal debacle continues to develop. A lot of these kids, because mentally that is where some of them are at developmentally, just act like my 3 year old granddaughter. She is always asking for candy, popsicles, cookies, etc. You tell her she can have it after doing something positive as a reward (like eating her lunch), but a lot of the time she has a meltdown hoping we will give in, but we don’t. Sounds a lot like the Ima Leaving situation. I can’t think of a more apt name for this man-child.
Love this line … He should just pull a Costanza and show back up at TN like he never left .
How Tennessee clawed back power in refusing QB's NIL demand
Iamaleava is a seminal figure, somehow representing both ends of the pendulum swing of player empowerment.

This is a fair question. He does not seem to have honor.Did this dipsh|t tank the T
When somebody says it's not about the money, you can be pretty sure that it's about the money.
Only “big” school left. ON3 has a post time stamped one hour ago not a done deal .

Pay cut and a lesser team for
The west coast adds to the big 10 is the only thing keeping me juiced, but for how long. Once to Oregon, 3 to Seattle, LA everytime if not thanksgiving.
Top portal QB Iamaleava transferring to UCLA
Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava officially announced his transfer to UCLA via a social media post Sunday, citing an "incredibly difficult" decision.
www.espn.com
From the article:
”Iamaleava, a five-star prospect from Long Beach, California, was recruited by UCLA out of high school. His younger brother, Madden Iamaleava, committed to UCLA out of high school but changed his commitment on the morning of signing day and signed with Arkansas.”
What’s with these kids? For f*ck’s sake.
Also, let‘s see if nico can do better in big games at ucla than he did at tennessee. He came up small with the vols.
Yes. It’s like when someone starts a sentence with “Believe me….” Or “Trust me…..”. Chances are, they are full of sh*t and can’t be trusted.
You love to see it.
If Arkansas thought it was difficult to keep their players, now they won't be able to get them in the first place.You love to see it.
Do you go to the school that enforces their buyout clause or the one that does not?
Think they’re all going to be doing it. Or do they all have money to burn?
I’ll add he enrolled at Arkansas in January 2025.

I hope all schools will do it.
Do they have money to burn? Nelie says... probably.
