>While UCLA has shown interest in Iamaleava, they are reportedly not willing to match his $4 million demand, and may be offering significantly less, potentially in the $1 million range<
I expect Nico to take the mil ,his options aren't like he thought they'd be and the Bruins payday will be about the best offer he can expect.

Read Vonnegut “Player Piano”. Part of the story mentions 30+ year old professions playing for Rutgers.

Article paywalled. A few snippets:
“We paid him enough. He was going to get paid more. There were some numbers that were asked to me that I didn’t feel I would be able to do and move on,” Brown said in a Wednesday interview with local radio station WTLA-AM. “I treated him right, did everything that was needed, and I just said, ‘Yo, you got to go.'”
“I ain’t doing that unless they tell me we have a chance to have Travis Hunter come back to college. He can come here and play for us, then he gonna get some of my check.”
He also said that after news broke among the team that Pena was leaving, players texted him asking if they could receive some of the money Pena was earning.

Could see this happening after this year if one or more receivers have a breakout year.
@NickRU714 -waddya think about this one? You know this guy Albert?
Maybe this guy is right- a market correction is in order. . . . .

Sporting News says they're hearing it is UCLA but not close to the $4 mil he wanted from Tenn.
"He also said that after news broke among the team that Pena was leaving, players texted him asking if they could receive some of the money Pena was earning."
Wow... to me that was the money shot.
Not sure if we lose players but not being particular about the type of kid you get out of High School will come and bite you no matter what.

The joy of this just keeps growing. Take heed, many NFL players go belly up shortly after they are out of the league. Now consider the fact 18- 22 year-olds are known for great decision making. LOL
Prediction, soon we as fans will be given a guilt trip as former players squander their NIL pay for play, and cry about it. This system failed in Profesional Leagues, it was never going to work other than to kill college athletics.

What happens to a lot of players is that they either don’t get the advice or just won’t listen, that you can’t live like the money you are making. Your bank account at the end of the career needs to be enough to continue paying your bills and lifestyle for the rest of your life.
And to make it worse, so many just buy everything cash and as weird as it may sound, they are living paycheck to paycheck.
Exactly! Now think of the future bleeding heart stories that will come out as even younger, more immature players are hurting. The media will do a worse guilt trip job then they do on Thanksgiving when families are watching football. My main point is Fandom will increasingly seem toxic. On one side if you want your team to have a chance to win, you need to give more, pay to the healthy young athletes charity. On the otherside, when these people are no longer playing, or at your school, you are terrible because obviously you don't care about them personally, look at them now. The fan experience is going to hell and soon the enjoyment will cease.
Not that this specific player will ever have real money issues but saw a clip of S Sanders car shopping. First, he came off like an ass to the sales person and 2nd, he was looking at cars with million dollar price tags.
This happens all too often with these guys. And now, with it starting in college, even worse. If a 5 star kid is getting a $2 mil Nil, he is going to come in 100% expecting to be a first round pick in 3 years as well. So- they spend their NIL money as soon as they get it.
They also need to make sure they put early ground rules on any women in their life too...that is where it starts to go south. lol
Haven't seen the "college athletes are too dumb to have money" argument in a while.
An oldie but goodie.
Dennis Schroder is a great (bad?) recent example of a player betting in themselves and losing.
Turned down 4y/$48m extension. Hoping to get double that.
Next off season signed for 1y/$5.9m.
Not just college kids. The number of professional athletes that go broke is shocking, especially in basketball and football.
It happens across the board, for multiple reasons including bad luck. I'm saying, in time I believe this will be something that cost everyone fans. Anyone can think what they want, the stats tell the story.
BTW it is why many musicians have joked its good they were ripped off early, because young bad decisions may have killed them.

$10M (over 4 years) for this?: "in nine games against SEC opponents and Ohio State in the playoff, he passed for more than 200 yards only twice.
Tennessee's offense finished No. 9 in the league in scoring offense in SEC play with 25.0 points per game. Tennessee had the league's No. 1 rushing offense and No. 11 passing offense in league play."
And Michigan allegedly paid $15M (over 4 years) for this:
"He also recovered his fumble, had a pair of delay-of-game penalties, several errant throws - high and wide - and some dropped. Underwood lost 12 yards on two sacks and gained 17 yards on three runs." "He did well," coach Sherrone Moore said.
(yeah, it's only the Spring game)
U-M's Underwood has up-and-down spring game
Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood showed both growing pains and flashes of the promise that made him the nation's top-rated high school football recruit in the Wolverines' spring game Saturday.
Anyone who's ever been 22 in their life knows all people that age are too dumb to have money (athletes or not). Hell, if you've reached the age of 30 you know anyone under 25 is too dumb to have money. It's why rich people have trust funds (the adults in their lives who earned the money know their kids are too stupid to have it all at once).
some UCLA alum are not happy that #8 is being unretired.

Ok - so maybe he wasn’t worth 4M but he’s still a very good QB who is going to start. Some are speculating that guys like Jordan Dercack went for 850K and Francis could be costing us 500K+ and UCLA is getting this QB for 1M??? Does that make sense to anyone? It seems like all of it is made up out of thin air.
Tenn kid got played by his own dad.
Went from making $2.5MM and a starting SEC job where they just played in the playoffs for less than $2MM at the little brother in LA.
He should fire everyone associated with this. Seeing the spin now saying it wasn't about money is just comical. Some players are going to learn some hard lessons.

College QBs traded
Looks like Tennessee traded Nico Iamaleava to UCLA for Joey Aguilar ,the portal pick-up the Bruins just landed from Appalachian State.
Joey who left the Mountaineers and committed to UCLA in December now is a Volunteer, leaving
UCLA for Tennessee after Nico decided to have his college career live or die in LA .
Joey decided his LA lifestyle was being ruined with the addition of Iamaleava in it, so he decide become a Great Smoky Mountain man and take his talent to Tennessee .
Aguilar was a Blue Ridge Mountain man when he played for Appalachian State, so he should feel at home playing in the Great Smoky.
>When former five-star quarterback Nico Iamaleava entered the NCAA transfer portal following a dispute over NIL deal, many wondered who the Tennessee Volunteers would get to take his spot under center.
Well as it turns out, it happens to be the guy Iamaleava forced out of UCLA when he announced his commitment to the Bruins on Sunday.<
