Tony is such a class act. Always liked him a lot (despite being a Hoo)
I actually respect him more for walking away from the insanity and being true to his values.

real classy quitting on your players right before the season. I guess you
never coached a team before, because in my book it shows ZERO class to walk out on your team, and even worse to walk out on your team because you don't like them making any money. It shows he cares more about his assistant coach than his own players or the team though...which is horrible. And his stupid remarks about college needing a salary cap for players and crying when he quit wasn't classy either. So, Bennett has shown he's not a class act as he walks out the door.

Agreed. Met him in Vegas once, right after the UVA shooting. Genuine soul

He did suck some of the fun out of hoo hatin' :>) Seriously, great coach
who I'm guessing saw that his system was not geared to the new mercenary age of College sports.

NIL didn’t change in the offseason(you didn’t say this but a few here have)
If he waited until a couple of weeks before the season starts to leave for that reason - wow. I just can’t see it with what everyone says about his character. That is leaving the program you rebuilt in a tough spot for reasons you felt/knew many many many months ago. 🤷‍♂️
