AG Jonathan Skrmetti threatened legal action against the NCAA if it had given the University of Tennessee football team a postseason bowl ban. It was leveraged by UT to produce a favorable verdict from the NCAA. (Knox News)
“Tennessee law prohibits the NCAA from imposing such a sanction, and I will not hesitate to vindicate the rights of UT students to enjoy the full measure of their intercollegiate athletic opportunities. NCAA rules cannot supersede Tennessee law.”
He told the NCAA that a postseason ban would violate state law because it prohibits players ability to earn money for NIL.
Yet another example of how cowardly this institution remains.
