Monday on 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe, Brady Quinn and LaVar Arrington react to Nico Iamaleava leaving the Tennessee Volunteers football program over NIL.
LaVar Arrington: "For Heupel to come out and basically say we're not doing it this way, it now has to open up the conversation, moving forward, what are going to be the rules of engagement? Because this thing is going to get worse before it gets better without there being any more real organization being connected to what's taking place."
Brady Quinn: "We can say it's a sad situation. I try to look at the other side of it and say it's actually a good thing. Because if he doesn't land on his feet, or he doesn't find someone who's gonna pay him the money he's looking for, every other player, every other slappy agent that's a part of these NIL deals, they're all gonna be like, ]Oh I don't wanna do that. Like, look at how this just worked out for this player, and look at how it impacted his career and everything else.' It's gonna be a scary tale from here on out moving forward for a lot of players to try to do something like this.'"
