The agenda is deep.... Pat Forde and the podcast he was on last night was beyond ridiculous.... Hating on an 18/19 yr old that is a good young man... Making fun of his name... Sad

The problem is Tennessee has repeatedly asked the NCAA to meet with them to go over the rules and break it down in the past and all Tennessee got was crickets

Holy smokes, this was great ...and entertaining. Well done

"F around and find out" Tennessee

Virginia also deserves credit because the state joined Tennessee's AG in the lawsuit.

Hold my orange! 🤣

I wonder if Nico and Tennessee have a defamation suit against Mr. Forde after all this? 🤔

The NCAA is inconsistent in their rulings. They also make up rules as they go along.

As a Bama fan, I never thought I would say this but.......GO VOLS!

Great show man. Go vols! 🍊

Where's my mustard bottle?

It's fun to see everyone standing behind Tennessee athletics for once. I'd be right there if this was Bama, Florida, Georgia etc. It makes me smile!😊

Josh the NCAA has always been uneven. When I played in the 80s the strength coach from Auburn was apprehended with a quantity of steroids. He named schools he was providing the steroids to and nothing happened. USC was caught changing grades to keep athletes eligible and their probation ended the day before the Rose Bowl. One of the Utah schools gets hammered because a coach bought a recruit a hamburger meal off campus, while an agent has a party for his college eligible players that makes the media and nothing happens. The NCAA has simply wanted to provide the illusion of oversight. To any intelligent observer they have lacked credibility

I’d like to recommend the KZfaq video ; “Reggie Bush vs the NCAA”. It does an excellent job covering not just covering that specific incident but also giving quite the simple but effective overview of what the NCAA is and how and why its downfall has come about.

I agree an overhaul has been warranted for quite some time.

The NCAA doing absolutely nothing to UNC basketball invalidates any argument in their favor

Sec and Alabama are the main example on why conferences should not Police them selves . Alabama has been their cash cow and can do absolutely no wrong . They have been protected at any Cost with no care of people seeing the obvious bias .

Youre damn right Colin gets to hit the play button! F*ck the NCAA!

Have we thought about why the national media “investigative college football reporters” are all backing the NCAA? Because without the NCAA they are all out of a job! That’s how irrelevant there job already is. They live off creating storylines that the NCAA creates.

Enjoyed this clip Josh. Great job sir.

Maybe the rest of the country will finally understand why this is called the volunteer state. Yes, we volunteer to lead the charge against a bureaucracy. Every other state/school needs to jump on board

The NCAA has always been reactive and never proactive in these situations.

Go Vols

To this day I’m still mad at what happened to USC and Reggie. I hope all of this smoke leads to a fire and I hope usc gets their justice

The NCAA violated numerous rules when investigating Miami and when they didn’t find anything yet still ruled out a “punishment”.

My specific is the University of Tennessee even tried to meet with the NCAA which they declined and then made up rules six months later and try to go back and penalize the VOLS over rules that weren’t even rules yet and the state of Tennessee came up with legislation to protect kids that have signed NIL deals with affiliations away from the university they choose to attend. So.. NCAA, if ya want guidelines go to Congress. 🤷‍♂️😂

so if we win what about the ncaa cfb game?

This isn't Nam, there are rules!!!!

Josh at least you're bringing some dialogue and I think we all appreciate that!

As an SMU alum, I will say that the NCAA has a tendency to perform Selective enforcement...they will refocus on someone else soon... 🙂

In THIS case, the problem I have with what the NCAA is doing is jumping in front of the buggy. They are trying to enforce rules they really haven't hashed out or made clear.

This is for all the teams in the country stop the bullshit ncaa or step out

Every school should be on board with this lawsuit, because it's going to mean players at EVERY school can capitalize on their NIL. EVERY SCHOOL.

The problem I have with the ncaa is how they appear to favor some schools. When it’s a penn st or Ohio st they make quick decisions but on other schools they drag accusations out for years

A specific reason is that the NCAA is not consistent!!!

Pat Forde is a damn joke

Class action lawsuits from former athletes 😊

It is over for these nerds. I'd be shocked if this goes past July 12th. IYKYK.

This is just extra plot for the The Tennessee story of 2024 National Champions lmao

All the coaches from major colleges and ad's should get together and vote on the rules they want and vote on them and put them in place and then hire a committee to run it and say this is what you are going to get paid. Then if any of the schools get fined for violations the money should be split up and divided and given back to all athletic department except the one that was fined. And the committee they put in place to enforce these rules does not get to keep any of the money collected from fines. Simple ok ok

My problem with NCAA is its failure to allow due process. NIL undoubtedly is the death of the NCAA. They have no idea how to administer it properly. NCAA has also allowed undue stress on schools by allowing the dumb transfer rule numerous times. They shot themselves in the foot again. Their laziness in adjusting is nuts.

Thank you to all fans who took the time to look and see that this was unjust and could happen to ANYONES team and standing behind UT rather than just dancing around the fire of your rival burning. Theres a time and place for rivalry and wishing for their downfall. But this isnt the Pruitt stuff this is made-up BS by NCAA. BTW Every UT fan was ALL for the COMPLETE PURGE of all things Pruitt at UT. Most were for it before the news about paying students came about. How embarassing for him to pay players and still lose so badly. GBO!

If the commissioners of the power 5 (4?) football conferences, their university presidents and athletic directors could actually put their heads and wallets together they could form a League, hire a commissioner and form a committee on rules and regulations for competition AND athlete compensation. This body could be a powerful negotiator with the television networks as well, controlling revenue. Individual franchises / schools could absolutely be licensees of their brand and capitalize on their own market places, but as far as what happens in the games (competition) and in the pocketbooks of the players is governed and enabled by this new League. Maybe we call it the Collegiate Football League (wait… the CFL is Canadian) or something. This all seems inevitable and might be forced on the NCAA as a new layer to the operation and governance of the game we all love, by the courts or legislature. It would be best if it happened on their own accord. I'm not too confident in that actually happening because folks in those positions of power have egos bigger than Neyland Stadium. Bigger still may be the need for the athletes themselves to have a stake and voice in these formations and operations. A college football player's union will need to be formed. When you declare yourself available to the high school recruitment system you must join this union. When you want to transfer you must be a member. The offers of NIL (or whatever that becomes) and the machinery by which a student moves from team to team is regulated by a collective bargaining agreement, one that is agreed upon by the new league and the CFPU. I know this sounds just like the pro athletic leagues but there is an extra layer of protection and that may be the role of NCAA. The integrity of the student and ensuring that their opportunity to actually get an education isn't lost. It is by the way, a means of growing into adulthood well. To quote South Park's Chef, "Children, there's a time and a place for everything and it's called "College"".

SEC !!!

I don't think confrences are going to seriously punish their members. Individual conferences need their schools to succeed on the national stage. That's like asking inmates to keep their doors locked- while giving them the keys to the prison...

Send out a couple of half-decent lawyers and the NCAA dissolves into a puddle of goo ...

Was there a piano playing for anyone else what the heck

the NCAA hates Tennessee? i couldve told u that years ago.

My specific gripes, Josh Pate, is that they are SELECTIVE on investigation and enforcement. They protect certain programs or coaches; *cough* Alabama and Saban *cough* while investigate their rivals (Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee all investigated multiple times under Saban). As a Tennessee fan, I remember Pruitt and I remember what SYSTEM he came from. He did NOT just learn to cheat at Tennessee, it came from a system already in place that he was a part of at both Alabama and Georgia. I saw the recent favoritism that went in Alabama's favor in the recent CFB Playoff selection. I remember the bad calls officials keep having when teams threaten Alabama like some of the calls against Georgia in Atlanta that favored Alabama/Saban. NCAA and the sport has their favorites and people are tired of it. You don't take a 7-6 program and have the greatest recruiting classes ever in CFB like Saban did in 2007 and 2008 without something going on.

College football needs a governing body that is focused on the good of the game, and players. I don't care if it's the ncaa or what you call it

NCAA should just disappear into the dust bins of history. Time to change folks.

They was created to protect players on the field because kids was dying on the athletic field now that is no longer a issue and now they are mediocre at best they can’t even put together a decent transfer portal schedule they don’t really know the sport because if they did things would be more well thought out they come up with a idea and go with it without thinking it through they mis managed the past 25 years and it’s time for a change

That piano music really detracted from the moment. Awful producing.

I support the NCAA on this. They need to close the loophole and end using the NIL as a pay to play scheme. The rules never changed when it came to boosters and pay to play. At best we can say enforcement has been lacking and a lot more of it is needed.

The sport needs mitigation of some sort or the sport will die.

If Tennessee wants to spend $8 Million on 1 player, let them. If they want to fly that recruit on a boosters plane...let them. It doesn't mean that coaching staff can coach them up once they get there

hi

Hell just let everybody cheat because college football players are worth millions

Wrong orange in thumbnail 💔

The NCAA has overreacted and over- reached for decades. Handing out death penalties without giving players an option to leave. Ruining kid's college careers to make a point. Changing rules all the dang time and enforcing them retroactively... there are far too many examples.. TV contracts that allow for 8 to 12 Commercials during breaks!! While the game clock runs and the games are not any shorter! Less football - more commercials Lame! NCAA is horrible..

Don't talk about the McDonald's bags they got a slap on the wrist for, though.

Wish they'd go after longhorns

You didn’t even read the best part. :/

This is the absolute WORST time to be losing your offensive coordinator. If he leaves you may very well see another mass exodus of players when the portal opens back up. Not to mention this is a critical time for coach Deboer establishing himself as the head coach at Alabama.

Was that arms of an angel? Lol

Have you watched Patt Forde and company making fun of Nico's name?

Tennessee was ok the NCAA when Phillip Fulmer was snitching to get his team out of trouble.

Where was all this outrage when the NCAA went after Michigan? Not sure how smart it is to attack and mock the NCAA like Tennessee is doing either. Harbaugh learned what that is like.

Did they pay nico 8 mil or not

Bring the NCAA down

Great takd on this but who cares, its just gor show, all of it

CFB is dead...

They’re only suing because they know they’re breaking rules

Idiocy and hypocrisy of the NCAA aside - if NIL never had been instituted and collegiate athletes remained AMATEUR, STUDENT-athletes we wouldn't be here. Everyone likes to bitch and moan about the horrible effects created by NIL and the complete lack of structure surrounding it but nobody is saying "Maybe we shouldn't be allowing colleges to pay STUDENT-athletes who are supposed to be amateur as to promote being a STUDENT first." Having said that, if we are stuck with it, I agree with Josh. For once

We tried to tell yall where it was going from the start! Should have placed some rules and guidelines down from the jump! Now you've (NCAA) got a mess on your hands! Stop pay for play, pretty simple!!!

Me me me me I I I I

the beginning of the end, and rightly so, adios amigo NCAA

😂😂😂

Our best athletes were exploited(our children) without any kind of monetary compensation for generations while billions were made in television contracts by our universities and the NCAA did nothing, said nothing. Hard to envision the NCAA as the arbiters of propriety given what we know about their track record. If anyone should understand how good it is to get paid ridiculously fat stacks, it should be the NCAA. Great work Pate Train.

The problem with Ryan Day and Ohio State is they load up on skill position players and QBs. They added 1 DL and zero portal EDGES in the portal, and signed only 2 in in the HS ranks, a bunch of DBs and safeties in the HS ranks a d portal. This man is doing tOSU dirty. in HS. Once again, Day adds Downs (who, like you said,may be the best football player on the team), they added another 3 QBs in the portal and HS,. added a RB (who is another skill player), they added arguable the worst Bama lineman, and added a 3 star TE. Don't even get me started on their HS recruit. Day should be addressing their terrible to bad defense, but no,they added a safety and one 3 star edge in the portal,and 2 in HS. They added 2 CBs, 2 safeties, 1 DL,1 LB, 1 EDGE, 0 portal edges, they're all offensive players. In HS they added an abundance of offensive players lkke TE, WR'S and IOL. They need MORE on defense,not offense. They're failing. Full stop. Ryan Day is getting fired after this season. Mark it down. He's basically Tom Herman with a better overall record.

Josh, can you confirm or deny the rumor that Coach Sabin will be your co-host during the 2024 CFS, and the show will be renamed Pate State and the Great?

Tennessee athletes are no longer volunteers............

Rocky Flop is guilty AF

Josh the clown never disappoints - too many theatrics and too much jibberjabber!

Time to permanently ban Tennessee.

NCAA needs to go away

The NCAA is a waste of time and money? Complete joke
