If Tennessee chooses state law over NIL pledge, it risks being kicked out of SEC
71% Informative
Power conferences are requiring member schools to sign loyalty pledge regarding new NCAA player pay rules.
The pledge mandates adherence to these rules despite state laws that may allow circumvention, and waives the right to sue the NCAA .
The document is being circulated by the ACC , Big 12, Big Ten and the SEC .
University of Tennessee and Vanderbilt are in the SEC , one of four power conferences.
Opponents of the new state law believe Tennessee is nixing an effective agreement days before it’s signed by a federal judge.
But proponents of the state law say Tennessee is being proactive by keeping its legal options in anticipation of a system it believes will fail.
Some college sports stakeholders believe Tennessee is n’t being a team player.
