Numerous national analysts are beginning to weigh in on the situation in light of the recent news surrounding the charges made regarding the University of Tennessee. Rece Davis, host of College Gameday, is the most recent person to weigh in on Tennessee vs. NCAA. Both Daivs and Tennessee athletic director Danny White noted that the issues in the NIL space aren’t specific to any one program because collegiate football has undergone significant upheaval.
“My knee-jerk reaction is that — and here’s the caveat, if you show me something egregious and clearly against the written rules then I’m going to say so — but my knee-jerk reaction to this is why are you bothering with Tennessee on this. I mean, with everything going on, how is it that this has been deemed against the rules, if in fact it is, what some outlets have said, that it centers around a private jet for Nico Iamaleava.
What’s against the rules, what’s not? Tennessee even went so far as to say in the response to the NCAA that ‘we didn’t violate any rules and you can’t enforce some rule retroactively that wasn’t against the rules then’. It seems sort of silly to me. I don’t know why you pick this particular story out.” – Rece Davis on reports the NCAA is investigating Tennessee
