Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman is the latest to give his thoughts on what happened with Tennessee and QB Nico Iameleava’s decision to transfer.

Former Tennessee Vols QB Nico Iamaleava has been the talk of the country since dodging practice last Friday and the Vols deciding they'd had enough and moving on from their starter. Iamaleava's NIL dispute and Josh Heupel's response has certainly been the first of its kind - at least out in the public eye - in the new world of college sports that's intertwined talent and dollars.

Nico Iamaleava entered the transfer portal over the weekend after holding out from Tennessee's practice on Friday. Iamaleava was in contract discussions with the Volunteers, looking to reportedly receive at least $4 million for the 2025 season from NIL after his previous deal was worth $8 million and meant to cover the entirety of his collegiate career.
