With all the news coming out surrounding the allegations made around the University of Tennessee, many national analysts are starting to share opinions on the matter. College Gameday host Rece Davis is the latest to comment on Tennessee vs. NCAA. Daivs pointed out, as did Tennessee athletic director Danny White that the problems in the NIL space aren’t on an individual program – the landscape of college football has vastly changed.
“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
