[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 996796, member: 2426"] I don't have any sympathy for Tennessee. However, I think her letter to the NCAA is spot on. The NCAA has been extremely vague about NIL rules. If you have "rules" that you want to enforce, then they should be written as rules to be enforced. There shouldn't be "guidelines" and memoranda about "interpretation" of "guidelines". I would compare what has been happening with the following speeding scenario: Understand that speeding is an issue. Issue a notice to the public that people should not speed. Issue new interpretation that people shouldn't drive faster than what is reasonable. Then issue speeding tickets to cars going XX miles per hour. The only "guidance" that I have seen from the NCAA is basically that athletic associations can follow state laws regarding NIL. I don't know what the NIL law is in Tennessee, or even if there is one. If a state doesn't have an NIL law, does that mean that student athletes in that state can't receive NIL? Does that mean that students are more free from NCAA repercussions regarding NIL? I don't like where things are, but IF the NCAA wants to enforce anything they should be very clear about what is allowed/not allowed and what will be enforced. I haven't seen any of that from them.
