Alex and Richard react to Nico Iamaleava’s split from Tennessee. We’re less interested in where he plays next (UNC? UCLA? Elsewhere?) and more interested in talking through his last few months as a Volunteer:
The job done by Tennessee’s football staff
The way Iamaleava is conducting business
How the state of Tennessee helped bring about this moment
Freedom to move around and live with the consequences
The idea of Iamaleava’s representatives driving the boat
How much you can blame “the NCAA” for the state of things
Do star quarterbacks really have so much power?
Why we think Tennessee is likely to come out ahead of its old QB
