Nico Iamaleava is right to fight for every single penny he feels he deserves, & the University of Tennessee has every right to decide he isn’t worth it. The problem is that former NCAA president Mark Emmert had a chance to protect them both from being in this position. The NCAA’s failure to do the one thing it was created to do shows why leadership matters.
The NCAAs refusal to be on the right side of history has us looking at the present like “What the F*ck?”. So, who’s to tell Nico he doesn’t deserve $4 million, & who’s to say someone hasn’t already said they got it for him. So, don’t be mad at Nico or Tenn. Place the blame where it belongs… Squarely on the greedy shoulders of the NCAA.

More games being played off the field than on the field. Bi7ch Nakos from @on3 called and asked me directly, I told him I had no idea on what he's talking about. He said his "close source" that he trusts with his life from the University of Tennessee staff gave him this
"If we don't win it, I hope he does."
Houston HC Kelvin Sampson praises Tennessee's Rick Barnes and unpacks a hilarious, unique phone call from the Vols' head coach ⬇️
We are entertaining a golden age of sports entertainment where W or L, every game leaves you with your moneys worth and you really have to be there live to understand it. @wwe is the OG of this.
"I really don't know where I would be." #Vols Zakai Zeigler thought about quitting basketball before Rick Barnes recruited him to go to Tennessee.
Barnes got emotional today about what ZZ means to him and the Vols. The duo looks for their second SEC Tournament title tomorrow.
When I just heard that Jon Stewart had done a segment on The Daily Show about the Cena heel turn, I had totally forgot that Stewart cost Cena the title against Seth at SummerSlam in 2015. https://t.co/E8X2iK08sE
I love playing golf and want TGL to succeed, but golf is an inherently boring sport and trying to make it feel “hype” with high energy athletes is quite the challenge.
Week 3: When it’s good, TGL is really fun. But when the sugar high wears off, it gets rudderless quick.
Still feels like it needs about 50% more Baseketball and unpredictability because the majority of players can’t/won’t carry the #vibes.
I saw them play this over 14 years ago and it was amazing. CP is the biggest band of our generation at this point and this is one of those special records that will live forever no matter the trends or style of the moment. Good music is good music. #MichaelJFox#Coldplay
Laker Nation, outstanding pick last night by our Lakers selecting Dalton Knecht - I love it! Dalton is just what the Lakers need, a deadly 3-point shooter/scorer who is physically tough and has swag. He also played for a winning program and really good college coach at Tennessee, Rick Barnes! Dalton is a guy that has a chance to start or play a lot off the bench.
