Nico Iamaleava learning the grass isn't always greener after leaving Tennessee

As we get even closer to fall camps starting for football teams across the country, the Tennessee Vols are going to be working overtime to figure some starting roles out. This includes quarterback, as Nico Iamaleava is gone and off to UCLA.

Earlier this month, plenty of eyebrows were raised when Kirk Herbstreit said one the main reasons Iamaleava and his camp decided to leave was because Josh Heupel and Tennessee didn't surround him with enough talent. If true, that's incredibly disappointing.

With Big Ten Media Days here, though, Iamaleava's team is quickly learning that the move to Westwood is going to come with plenty of growing pains.
