Nico is gone (x.com)

Some really juicy offseason drama for the Vols this year. Here are the facts:

Nico was in Spring Camp and was seemingly both invested and invested in (Lots of reps, go pro mounting on helmet)
Story breaks on Thursday that Nico is in contract negotiations. (Word on the street is he wanted $4mil vs $2mil this year, possibly parent driven)
Nico misses practice Friday (Word is no call no show)
Heupel announces today that the Vols are moving on (specifically coverage seems to word it this way, rather than Nico moving on)
Orange and White game is also today, but no broadcast of any kind

Consensus opinions from Vol Nation seem to be:

Fuck NIL, we need contracts
Shitty of Nico to wait until the end of spring to pull this
Correct move from Heupel, culture over individuals
New QB competition drama just dropped

Fuck NIL, we need contracts

The genie's out of the bottle. I don't even pay attention until the close of fall camp anymore. Figure out a way to retain some essential nexus with the educational experience and sign these kids to three-year contracts with a two year option but also soccer-like buyout clauses.
