@Cougardue , please don’t let facts get in the way!
Will never admit when he is wrong……which is A LOT……
You are joking, correct? My whole post was comedic take.
When their state legislature passes laws that they don’t have to follow the same NIL rules as everyone else, they are going to stir up a lot of crap. Schools all want to be on an even playing field.

@Sukie was also joking.
Comedic… oh. I think maybe you need to specifically state when you are joking. I believe you did that with a post earlier this week and I was grateful for the clarity.
It doesn’t seem there are any other indicators that typically accompany jokes… like laughs, chuckles… stuff like that.
Actually, schools don’t want any other schools to have an advantage over them. Wanting a level playing field implies they are actually interested in fairness rather than money.

Here is the AAU’s own website.
Tennessee is NOT a member.
I guess you and he will never admit when you are wrong.
Never rely on AI as a source.
Go straight to a reliable source like this:
Even Wikipedia is more accurate than AI in this instance.
Tennessee is not, …… and has NEVER BEEN an AAU member.
Even I am smarter than AI in this case.
I’m enjoying Texas already rumored to be a trouble-maker.

I agree with Law, that the other UT is not.
It should be noted, perhaps Law momentarily did not mention, that Case Western is a member.
As is NYU.
Thanks for pointing this out. This morning it’s still giving false information
on UTenn. and AAU. I opened and submitted a complaint about it to google so it will be interesting to see how quickly it “learns”.
There is another thread opened about 11 days ago on AI giving false information.
It would be cool to track how many specific things it is factually wrong about and
if it corrects.

And Illinois.
Actually, not only is CWRU a member, but its former President, Barbara Snyder, is now the AAU President.
Well doesn’t this TN issue present a problem for the Sec?
I doubt they kick them out but TN will have a competitive advantage unless they simply follow the new rules voluntarily. They can’t sign and so the only way is for TN to adhere voluntarily which is prob what they do.
If TN was kicked , there would be no p4 home bc they are blackballed so they would have to go indy and hope for a ND clause in playoffs.
My bet is they don’t sign or back out formally with any agreements bc they can’t but voluntarily agree to cap limits.
Its ridiculous to even think Tennessee would be forced out of SEC…Theyve been a member for over a hundred years and they arent going anywhere. and you better believe they have plenty of friends in their own league who will vote their way in any vote taken.
How ironic that ut wants to be on an even playing field. Lol

The linked article suggests that Vanderbilt is in the same category as Tennessee. It appears Texas and other schools are rumored to kick out Vanderbilt as well.

Woohoo! I can see it now. Replace Tennessee and Vanderbilt with UH and Rice. A public state institution and private research university replaced with a public state institution and private research university.
Sounds like an even trade to me.
I know thats never gonna happen BUT, it does make an 8-8 Split along the Mississippi River.
4 Texas
1 Oklahoma
1 Arkansas
1 Missouri
1 Louisiana
UT is just gonna kick itself in the balls. No one is going anywhere.
