The Tennessee Volunteers have been in the headlines due to their back-and-forth with now-former starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava, who is officially in the college football transfer portal. Iamaleava tried to negotiate for more money before electing to enter the portal in hopes of a bigger deal elsewhere.

The fact of the matter is, the Tennessee Volunteers don't have great options at quarterback after the departure of Nico Iamaleava.

The news comes after attempts to renegotiate his NIL went public, creating what essentially became an NFL-style holdout.
