18 THREE’S. 🤯🤯 A program record!

[JJ Kitchen @JJ_Kitchen40]

@koromaus A great time to start following and supporting this team, I agree. I will be attending some games as well.

[Cody Campbell @CodyC64]

So, the conferences are going to negotiate contracts with the players for each team, and decide how much each player is paid? How does that make sense?

Also, the conference only receives a portion of an athletic department’s revenue (through the TV contract). The rest (in many conferences most) of the player compensations comes from ticket sales, alumni contributions, MMR Agreements, etc. So, the schools would pay the conferences, then the conferences pay the athletes. If using a 3rd party intermediary was a legally passable strategy, state employees would have been using it for the last 90 years.

[Cody Campbell @CodyC64]

Under the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 - specifically 29 U.S.C. § 152(2) the term “employer” is defined to exclude “…any State or political subdivision thereof.”

Specifically in Tennessee (and most states in the U.S.) courts and the Attorney General have consistently held that public employers (state or local) lack authority to enter into collective bargaining agreements with employee organizations unless a specific statute expressly grants that authority.

So, any Collective Bargaining agreement for College Sports is a complete fairytail, is jurisdiction of the States (NOT the Federal government), and would require cooperation between all the States. This can and will never happen in practicality.

You have to experience United Supermarkets Arena to understand it.

Wonder if “current realities” are tied to stadium expansion, player payroll and other new landscapes that didn’t exist a decade ago?

Strange: Elko asking for MORE Money?

Reporter: What do you think has gone wrong this season?

Mike Elko: Everything! We’re simply getting outspent. We’re spending $50 million a year, and apparently that’s not enough. If recruits have a choice between Knoxville and College Station for the same money, it’s pretty obvious where they’re going. Knoxville is a much better town, and Tennessee is a much more storied program. I think our fans need to ask themselves one question: Have we really donated enough money to win? Because clearly, we haven’t.
