Tennessee Vols QB Nico Iamaleava skips practice in an NFL-style NIL holdout
When NFL players want more money, they often exercise their leverage by skipping offseason practices.

I've been nervously waiting for this day to come. An elite college player skipping practice during NIL negotiations. Nico Iamaleava from Tennessee is likely a top 3 QB in the next draft class. This morning, he and the Vols went their separate ways after he held out of practice to gain leverage in NIL negotiations. Was set to make 2.4 million this season, wanted to make 4 million. Glad to see Tennessee wasn't playing his games.
