Just in Tennessee Volunteers Confirm the Departure of another top super star………

Due to NIL practices in several sports across the athletic department, the Tennessee Volunteers are in the NCAA’s crosshairs. The football program and its hiring of a five-star signal caller are subjects of an investigation.

Nico Iamaleava, the star of the 2023 class, signed with the Vols on signing day of the previous year. In Knoxville, he would have an immediate effect, throwing for 314 yards and two touchdowns.

Among those was a start in a bowl game versus Iowa, where he led UT to a commanding 35-0 triumph. He was successful on 12 of 19 tries for 151 yards and a touchdown in the game. Also, he added three rushing touchdowns.

He was supposed to start in 2024, but he’s now the center of attention for an NCAA probe.

A private jet was reportedly used during one of Iamaleava’s college trips, and other possible recruitment and NIL infractions have put Tennessee under investigation.

Former positions held by attorney Mars include general counsel for Walmart and head of Arkansas Police. In college athletics, he also has a noteworthy background.

A long list of his past interactions with prominent institutions and the NCAA was deconstructed by The Wall Street Journal.

One of his earlier experiences was working to clear the name of former Rebels head coach Houston Nutt during the Ole Miss debacle led by Hugh Freeze.

Through advocating for players and expressing their desire to complete the shorter schedule, Mars also contributed to the Big Ten’s decision to reverse its 2020 COVID decision to postpone the football season.

According to USA Today, Mars is “the person to blame most for the NCAA’s current inability to regulate transfers.” His struggle with Ole Miss was the reason he began assisting student-athletes in obtaining waivers for instant eligibility.

Players hoping to transfer out of Oxford contacted us in the hopes of avoiding sanctions and immediately returning to the field with other schools after aiding Houston Nutt in clearing his name amid controversy.

His ability to secure instant eligibility for his customers became so successful that the NCAA changed their policy as a whole.

Although his athletes benefited from his plan of action, Mars isn’t exactly pleased with the “total chaos” that ensued.

However, it has demonstrated that he is capable of competing against the most influential collegiate sports regulatory body and emerging victorious. He was then hired by the College Football Association as a “independent external advocate,” indicating that they had noticed him.

In Tennessee’s situation, Mars’ experience with the NCAA can only be helpful. He has engaged in combat with them and emerged victorious.

Considering that the attorney is associated with the Vol Club NIL collective and has been involved in the quarterback’s NIL transactions, this should be encouraging for Nico Iamaleava.

It doesn’t appear that he is backing down from the inquiry, given his prior success and his previously cited remarks on the subject.

Despite Tennessee being the target of the NCAA, Tom Mars is a man you want on your side.
