Wild to see a starter “sitting out or holding out due to contract negotiations” at the college level. 
 

You’re 19-21 years old “supposedly” already getting millions to play football and run around in college with said money. Why not just enjoy life and have fun at this point instead of blowing up the situation over money like you aren’t making enough at that age already. Smh. It’s just a different game now for real. 

Character matters

Not that Tech wouldn’t love the publicity, but is Nico really an upgrade over Behren Morton?  Morton isn’t great, but he’s a solid veteran who has gone through the offseason and Spring with Tech’s newly-hired OC.  Nico has already demonstrated he’s a pretty average passing QB who is challenged by learning basic passing concepts.  
 
Tech may be an interesting case study of the money guys wanting one QB, while the coach may want his guy.  Should be fun to watch this Nico saga.

How great would it be if Nico moved on to another school, but didn't start

He might retire from football and start investing the money he has already made.

Really? I didn't know they added a course in emoji interpreting. Not that you'd know, of course.

The stench of privileged Pilgrim proceeds you. The 1 Fund never gave 2 💩 about what classes I took when I donated that $2,500. Be your pecker self... but bug someone else while you do it.... or introduce yourself at the next gathering and maybe your can show me your class schedule..🤷🏿‍♂️🤘🏿

I got a PHD in disrespect...lets stay a family.. just dont visit.

Nico's dad is a clown. Hopefully, Nico can break away from that rearing and influence eventually and become a man of character.

I’m glad you’re contributing and that Texas keeps a large net for non alumni. Be well.

Your opinion of Nico and his play didn't line up with Tennessee. They saw fit to be negotiating with him since December to keep him. They obviously thought they were better with him than without. So all that he sucked crap last year.. and Tennessee didn't send him packing when they got the opportunity. So either you're a better OC and Head coach than Huepel and his OC, or you don't actually know wtf you're talking about, just repeating some stats provided to you by others.

It’s not very difficult to look up his stats and watch his play. Once their stud Rb Went down vs Ohio state that game was over because Nico doesn’t match up to high level play so him and his buddies asking for a raise is beyond ridiculous. Thank goodness you aren’t a GM

Its not about how I feel.. or felt about Nico. Lemme pose it this way. Your girl comes to you 3 days before Christmas and says she's moving out by April 15th if you don't propose. You hem and haw and go back and forth on whether you wanna marry her or not... seeing as though she has potential, but hasn't really realized it yet, but you damn sure don't wanna give up too early and miss out. So, you try to pacify her with a few trips and small gifts. 

You make plans to drop on the knee and hang the ol player jersey up on April 15th.. doomsday.. but come home to find her stuff already cleared out. You cry... have a moment...

Then call EVERYONE YOU KNOW... and say you're done with her because she was so horrible and all she wanted was money.. blah blah blah. 

 

Did you really stand on business? Do you really deserve an applause and a pat on the back for breaking up with someone after they've already packed up and left? Also.. should we feel sorry for you when we all saw she was just with you because you liked to trick off money on her in the 1st place???

The GM and the coach at Tennessee thought well enough of him to put up with his 💩 and not cut him when he tried to hold them hostage in December, before the playoff game. I guess the guys behind him truly sucked 🍑 cheeks.. because if he was a REAL COACH who deserved a back pat, he would've cut his candy ass RIGHT THEN!! THAT'S WHEN YOU CAN PAT HIM ON THE BACK. THAT.. WOULD'VE BEEN STANDING ON BUSINESS!🤘🏿

When a coach quits on a team because the AD/Board doesn't wanna give em a raise.. do you hope he loses wherever he goes?

Then they went through spring drills and came to the conclusion Nico wasn’t worth the raise or the drama. 
 

Nico’s team badly misjudged his value and misplayed their leverage. Now they’ll be lucky to find a lateral in terms of comp and profile.

It really depends on the circumstances. I know no one in Tenn wanted Kiffen to succeed at USC, and Sark had no fans at Wash. Think LSU fans were rooting for Saban? Do tell!
