The Vanderbilt Commodores and Tennessee Volunteers Football Programs are at risk that “it just means more” will become a remnant of their past.
When Knoxville News Sentinel’s Adam Sparks Unveiled, there is a document that circulates that members’ schools of all power abandon 4 conferences of their right to sue the NCAA if there is disagreement with implemented NIL rules.
If Vandy and UT do not agree, Sparks reports that the sec can remove them.
“A new law of Tennessee caused the power conferences of university sports in demanding membership schools such as the University of Tennessee and Vanderbilt to sign a loyalty promise about new players’ rules or have to deal with possible expulsion,” Sparks wrote.
“Knox News confirmed the existence of the loyalty document through a source with direct knowledge of the situation. The source asked for anonymity because they are correspondence between conferences and members’ schools.
“The document is distributed by the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten and the SEC. It requires that membership schools agree to follow new rules in which the paid players are involved, despite the state laws that give the rules to bypass the rules. And the promise also requires that schools will abandon their right to prosecute the NCAA or conferences of those rules.”
Although it is a private university, Vanderbilt is forced to adhere to the zero laws of the state.
“A clause in the law allows Vanderbilt and private universities to unsubscribe from the protection of the state law to collaborate with the NCAA,” Sparks wrote.
President Donald Trump has formed a committee, led by Nick Saban and Cody Campbell, a former Texas Tech player who served on the board of that school to treat his NIL committee from a top-down national vision.
Perhaps the regulation of states, or at least to give a uniform series of guidelines, would be one of their first movements.
