Michigan's Spring game is this Saturday at 11AM.   However, it wont be televised until April 27th, 11AM, BTN, two days after the portal closes.

Where the hype kinda meets the road.

is some frosh or 4th year guy who has never done squat showing out in a practice game vs his own team really going to cause them to hit the portal and try to get more money? if that's where we are in this sport, just close to the whole thing down.

just have the fucking spring game and air it live, please.

Versus no state income tax in Tennessee.

Seems stupid.

How did he get admitted to UCLA, being so stupid?

seems to suggest what one of those CFB podcasts I was listening to- might've been Cover 3- that Nico really didn't like Tennessee. He's a Samoan kid from Cali born and raised in LA- dude got dropped into the middle of Knoxville, Tennessee- which I love that town- but a kid like him where he's from his background- he was probably missing home....hence he winds up at UCLA.

don't think it was all about the money leaving, but it was all about the money for him going to Tennessee...and if you do something for money and your heart really isn't in it- probably not gonna work out. And if that is the case- best for everyone involved Tennessee included that he leaves.

Nico Iamaleava’s deal with UCLA is reportedly $1.5M. So not the $4M he was asking for but less than what he would have made had he just stayed in TN.

That’s $1.5M in Literally the highest state income taxed state in the country.

$1.5M gonna be $800K by the time he gets it
Kharma is a bitch, obviously not a Business/Economics major at school if he's taking anything at all. With decisions like that makes ya wonder if he's really QB material specially at the next level

Good Point but who has more talent on that side of the ball headed into the '25 season. The Vols made the dance so might have worked out better staying

Reports where the kid overplayed his hand a good bit. Doesn’t seem too much more complicated than that.

And UCLA seems like a pretty logical fit. They might need to overpay someone for some hype. Plus, he’s obviously from there.

if the kid REALLY wasn't happy there - maybe its a way to get out and back to UCLA
