Alex and Richard react to Nico Iamaleava’s split from Tennessee. We’re less interested in where he plays next (UNC? UCLA? Elsewhere?) and more interested in talking through his last few months as a Volunteer:

* The job done by Tennessee’s football staff

* The way Iamaleava is doing business

* How the state of Tennessee helped bring about this moment

* Freedom to move around and live with the consequences

* The idea of Iamaleava’s representatives driving the boat

* How much you can blame “the NCAA” for the state of things

* Do star quarterbacks really have so much power?

* Why we think Tennessee is likely to come out ahead of its old QB

Hosts: Alex Kirshner, Richard Johnson

Production: Anthony Vito
