On Tuesday, Knoxville News-Sentinel staff traveled to the Greeneville (Tenn.) Federal Courthouse and, amid a thorough summary of the NCAA’s latest losing legal stance on the subject of its rules about name, image and likeness (NIL), reported some muffled laughter in the courtroom.
The Tennessee state attorney’s office, in pointing out to Judge Clifton Corker that amateurism is a bygone notion in college sports, pointed out that Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck is now wheeling around in a Lamborghini. Beck, clearly, is laughing all the way to the bank.
