'College GameDay' Host Throws Shade at Rising Star Nico Iamaleava
After reportedly pushing for more NIL money from the school, the former five-star recruit ended up holding out and subsequently departing the Vols’ program for UCLA — something Davis labeled as “ham-handed” and executed as “poorly” as possible on Iamaleava’s side.
“There are a lot of different ways to look at this, and the first way that I look at it is this — if you’ve listened to this podcast or heard me on ‘GameDay’ for years, you know that I’m all for players getting paid,” Davis began. “… You need to have a landing spot before you go in and start demanding extra money. And the other thing is that they came off as extraordinarily ungrateful in all of this, which is also a damage to your reputation.”
