Really is a shame. Sad to see UT in this situation. Breaks my Sorta Rican heart...
Word around the campfire is Dan Lanning, Oregon's coach, notified Heupel that Nico's agent was shopping him around. He said USC and UCLA are the ones to watch...
Go Canes!
Go Johnnies!

For those who think multi year NIL deals will cut down on transfers, here is part of an article from the Athletic
The problem here is Iamaleava did have a contract: This was supposed to be the final year of a four-year deal he signed with Tennessee before his senior year of high school. Iamaleava reportedly just wanted more money after, among other things, seeing what Carson Beck got from Miami to transfer this year (reportedly $4 million). Technically, it would seem Tennessee could hold him for breach of contract. But it appears the school was just ready to move on, let Iamaleava go and save the $2.2 million it would have owed him.

Perhaps this situation causes schools and collectives to bargain harder for language in their player contracts. But this shows that multiyear contracts aren’t a perfect solution. The NFL and pro sports have contract holdouts, but they’re fairly rare because players have less leverage: Their teams can trade them, or they can just not play. The players can’t leave for another team.”

“The contract question
Unlimited transferring, the ability of players to leave for another school after every season — even every semester — has been a sore point for several years. Schools thought they were getting a handle on it by signing players to multiyear contracts through their collectives, including deals that called for players to owe money if they left.The problem here is Iamaleava did have a contract: This was supposed to be the final year of a four-year deal he signed with Tennessee before his senior year of high school.
