College football has become more and more like the NFL over the past few years, and the current situation with Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava is an unfriendly reminder of that.
Iamaleava and Tennessee have reportedly been in talks about a new NIL deal. The quarterback wants to remain with the Volunteers but is unhappy with his compensation package. It does not appear that the two sides are close to an agreement, however.
Iamaleava did not show up to Tennessee’s spring practice on Friday, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. He was expected to be in attendance.
