Tennessee suing the NCAA won’t solve NIL issues

The University of Tennessee, the University of Florida, and Florida State are all either under investigation for rules violations regarding the NIL or have already been hit with sanctions by the NCAA.

The NCAA could have tried to do something a few years ago when NIL became legal but, as usual, didn’t understand their role in the everchanging college athletics landscape.

“We have a rule right now that said you cannot use name, image, and likeness to entice a player to come to your school. Hell, read about it in the paper,” Saban said. “I mean, Jackson State paid a guy a million dollars last year that was a really good Division I player to come to school. It was in the paper and they bragged about it. Nobody did anything about it.”
