The star of the Dallas Cowboys, Micah Parsons, launched the state of university football amid the scrutiny over the field marshal of the Volunteers of Tennessee, Nico Iamaleva, on Friday.
According to reports, Iamaleaava was a wait in practice this week, since he tried to renegotiate his name, image and image of $ 2.4 million to $ 4 million per year. It had 2,616 air yards and 19 TouchDown passes when the VOLS finished 10-3 during the 2024 season.

When the speech entered social networks, the former Penn State star was not happy with what university football has become.
“University football is a joke now! Well, just make the university a semi -professional league! Really hold the players of the contracts they sign!” He wrote in X.
He then responded to another person in X who said that university football had always been a semi-professional league and that players were illegally paid.
“Nah College was never about money! The university is building character!” Parsons replied. “I am the man who am today for the brotherhood and the incredible coaches that I have had during my time in Penn State!

“We are failing children now because life is not easy and we are allowing them to quit smoking!”
Iamaleva is only the tip of the iceberg of what could happen in university athletics sooner rather than later.
The SEC Commissioner, Greg Sankey, the Commissioner of ACC, Jim Phillips, the Big 12 Commissioner, Brett Yormark, and the Big Ten commissioner, Tony Petitti, were in Capitol Hill last week to press Congress on the help of null legislation in university athletics.

Yormark told Bret Baier in a “special report” on Thursday that “we need help from Congress.”
“From where I feel today, the federal preference, which has a standardized platform that supervises and governs Nil is of vital importance,” said Yormark. “Today, 34 states see it very differently, and it is relatively rebellious.”

“The volume of laws that are being approved at the state level really makes us really regulate and compete at the national level,” added Commissioner Big Tony Petitti. Every time someone does not like a decision, or something comes from the NCAA, we end up in litigation. Those rules are added and return to the beginning.
“We hope that the combination of what we have done in the agreement gives us an opportunity, with the help of Congress, to really put a system in a place that has some stability.
“We have crossed the bridge of being willing to provide income … but we need to have some structure. We cannot have a system that has a complete unregulated movement.”
