It seems the Ohio State football program has broken Tennessee

The Ohio State football program seems to have broken the Volunteers as a program.

The Ohio State football program took down Tennessee in the first round of the College Football Playoff. It was complete domination from the Buckeyes, taking them down 42-17. Had they not held up in the second half, things could have been worse for the Volunteers.

Since that loss, things have gone from bad to worse for the Vols. While the Ohio State Buckeyes went on to win the national championship, Meanwhile, the Volunteers are involved in a very rocky Spring, which is when fans are supposed to be the most excited about their team.

Nico Iamaleava is involved in quite a controversy. The starting quarterback is allegedly asking for more NIL money from the Vols after just one year as a starter. He tried to do it in the winter and has now sat out a Spring practice as NIl negotiations continue. Did Ohio State break Tennessee?

Did the Ohio State football team break Tennessee?

The Buckeyes may have crushed Tennessee to the point that they will not be able to hold onto their starting quarterback, despite building their whole offense around him. That would be a devastating development for a program that finally achieved something last season.

Irrelevance was a really hard place for the Vols to be, and they were there for 25 years. Only in the last couple of years did they finally start sniffing the College Football Playoff. They finally made it last season, but it looks like they are poised to take a major step back.

Why the Ohio State football team should stay far away from Nico Iamaleava

With Tennessee moving on from him, the Buckeyes should not pursue him in the transfer portal.

The Ohio State football team is in a quarterback battle right now with Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz. It's a battle that seems to be neck-and-neck, according to what Ryan Day has said. No decision will likely be made until the start of Fall practice.

Ohio State feels really good about the options they have at quarterback they feel that either of them is good enough to lead this team as they try to defend a national championship. Both have shown enough talent that the Buckeye coaching staff feels comfortable naming either player a starter.

Nico Iamaleava is a talented quarterback who played for Tennessee last year. I say last year because the Vols have decided to move on from him after he tried to extract more NIL money from the Vols. Many have speculated that the Buckeyes should go after him in the transfer portal.

Why the Ohio State football team should not pursue Nico Iamaleava

Even though Iamaleava is very talented, this is one player the Buckeyes should not pursue in the transfer portal. He clearly became enough of a distraction from this move that the Vols did not want to have him on their team. He clearly isn't good enough to warrant whatever price he is trying to get.

In his final game with the Vols, he was just 14-31 for 104 yards against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Is that a stat line good enough to warrant a raise in NIL money? Definitely not. Ohio State already has two more talented quarterbacks on their current roster anyway.

Iamaleava is not worth the headache to pursue in the portal. Ryan Day has built a strong culture within the team that is focused on winning. Everyone is getting their fair share of NIL money, too. They feel both Sayin and Tavien St. Clair have more talent than Iamaleava.

Just sayin':

1) Yeah, definitely Ohio State should pass on him.

2) "Per sources: Nico Iamaleava has been in contact with 3 schools that have agreed to construct a deal if he left Tennessee." Colorado/Prime Time seems like a good fit for Nico. I wonder if "the sources" are basically his agent who actually called Ohio State, not Ohio State calling him. The agent may be just trying to drive up Colorado's offer by making them think there are other schools in the bidding for Nico.

This is probably all true (he's full of shit and not worth the trouble etc) but we are only getting one side of the story like this.

Just because Josh Heupel says something, doesn't exactly make it so.

I'll just give zero fucks and trust Day on anything QB related. If he is actually after the kid then it tells us one thing, if this is all agent press bullshit and he ends up in Colorado it tells us another.
