A recent report from CBS analyst Josh Pate suggests that Iamaleava almost chose to stage this opt-out/holdout at a time with much-higher stakes.
Pate said, "This past December, cats like Nico Iamaleava almost held out of Playoff games, because they were trying to renegotiate contracts in the middle of the Playoff run."

A conflicting report:
Now, the entire ordeal has put Iamaleava’s college future—and possibly his football career—in serious jeopardy. But as it turns out, it was actually Iamaleava’s agent who acted unethically, going behind everyone’s back in an attempt to secure more money. That decision ultimately led to a disastrous fallout.
“Unannounced to both Nic and Nico, their agent went behind their back to work negotiations once again. When he overplayed his hand, things got messy quickly. He attempted to save some face with the family by blaming the Tennessee side,” Ryan Roberts wrote.
