Nico Iamaleava Close to $4M Transfer to Non-power 5 Conference

After Nico Iamaleava ironically left Josh Heupel’s Tennessee team over a disagreement over NIL payout, the simmering NIL rumors in college football really erupted. Iamaleava signed an $8 million NIL contract with the Vols as a senior in high school, which was largely the catalyst for school-affiliated collectives to invest in recruits. Iamaleava was the first notable college football holdout three years after signing the historic contract.

After an eventful 72 hours, Tennessee and Iamaleava were finally broken apart.

Even though his future is still up in the air, his father might have given away where his kid might go next because at least one of the institutions vying for him is poised to upend the NIL landscape completely.

When Nico’s father, Nic Iamaleava, shared personal direct message receipts with Blue Bloods Bias, it provided the most lucid glimpse into this story.

They captioned the post: “More games being played off the field than on the field,”

Additionally, Nic affirmed that the sweepstakes are legitimate and quite profitable. He said: “Transfer QB Nico Iamaleava is set to receive a MAJOR pay raise at his new school,” “The offers we have received are better than what Nico was getting, by a lot!…Nico has offers over $4,000,000,” “Tulane and a lot of other schools yes,”

The admission that one of the programs in the mix isn’t even from a Power 5 league was even more startling.
