Nico Iamaleava, having a real crazy week since he said he’s going to the UCLA Bruins. But the mess is not over yet. Turns out, Iamaleava was not really happy with how they treated him in Knoxville, and he wanted some cash to be their quarterback next season. Sounds like a good deal, right?
Now, we got this other guy, Carson Beck, who is now the Miami Hurricanes quarterback. Apparently, he had a bad breakup with his ex, a former Hurricanes basketball star. Drama, drama, drama. And guess what? He was offered the same amount of money as Iamaleava to play for the Hurricanes. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
New info just came out that Iamaleava’s people wanted some cash, but not exactly $4 million. Shocking, right? The plot thickens. CBS Sports’ Shehan Jeyarajah tried to explain how things got even messier in just a few days. It’s like a soap opera, but with football players.
So, Iamaleava is off to UCLA for less money than he got at Tennessee. His brother is tagging along. The Bruins didn’t make the playoffs last season, but they might do better this time. Money talks, my friends. College football is all about the cash, it seems. Will things change? Who knows. But this story definitely puts a spotlight on the money in the game.
We still got a long way to go before this story dies down completely. Week 1 is coming, and it’s going to be a wild ride. Stay tuned.
