The letter said the contract was canceled.
The Pandora's box of kids putting out lawsuits with as many things as possible thrown in to see what sticks on here say information.
I think I will sue the family on emotional damage of slander and here say of my current football coach. The only money possibly owed would be the 500k signing bonus with attendance. That would probably be settled at a lower price point as well. The rest of the contract required him actually attending all four years.
Let's stop crying about Kadyn Proctor. Alabama and Saban tried to warn everybody exactly what would happen with NIL and yall are perfectly fine with it when you thought it was just gonna hurt Alabama. We tried to tell yall we are not the ones that are going to get hurt by it but you just didn't listen. You made your bed now lay in it.
So on the opposite side, boosters can sue players for not honoring their NIL deal by opting out of games? Love it
That would be pay for play which is illegal so no
@@FLA813BMO nope, the greedy ass parents opened Pandora’s box, teams and boosters should be able to protect their investments now. Not available for all the games, contract null and void
Yea but why did Rashada have to pay miami 150,000?
It would be like Ohio State suing Quinn Ewers for taking a few million, never playing and then transferring out to Texas
@@chipparmleywhich would be silly to do
As a Dawg fan, I dont know if Rashada is worth having on our team.
Agreed. A major distraction, but let’s face it there are many distractions now with multiple players arrested.
Y’all got plenty of trouble, reminds me of Urbans teams.
My thoughts exactly and I'm a Gator! The kid is a mercenary and not worth nobody time! His dad is a part of the problem to!
He's not obviously has 0 class or character and if justice is served he wont be drafted
@@Freshy_Jones yeah except for the stolen credit cards from dead girls, firing AK-47’s in parking lots, Aaron Hernandez and everything he did at Florida, etc. You are correct, exactly the same level…
The prospect of a school suing a player for transferring, and not honoring his NIL deal is a game changer. Fascinating scenario.
Schools can’t offer NIL sooooo nor can they penalize for transferring
@@FLA813BMO Some states have passed laws that allow schools to offer NIL, and more have bills working their way through the system now. NCAA can't do anything about a law. Also, the NCAA passed rules last month that allow schools to directly facilitate deals between players and organizations that will pay them. However, the schools in the states that have passed laws can literally pay the players themselves. There has been 5 states that have also passed laws that prohibit the NCAA from penalizing teams for paying players
Exactly!
@@FLA813BMOwhat’s to stop the collective from filing a “breach of contract” lawsuit? Absolutely nothing.
The collective could then.
UF found our Rashada camp lied about what he was receiving from Miami. Rashada claimed 9.2 M but in reality it was substantially less. UF found out and killed the offer. The offer was wrote that both parties could cancel the deal at anytime
Sure sure. The question would be whether FL negotiated in good faith.
Hard to feel bad for the kid he had guaranteed money that he turned down trying to chase a couple extra dollars.
4 million extra dollars??
@@Mlmax2887 right. People talk big when it’s someone else’s money. You’d have to be a complete moron to turn down millions of dollars you had every reason to believe was coming.
@@Mlmax2887 still 9 mil more than he woulda had. Grass isn’t always greener and neither is the money
Booster is a car dealer. Raise your hand if you have been lied to by a car dealer.
Raised your hand if a kid thinks he's worth a brick of gold... he's NOT!
I've never actually bought a car from a dealer, for exactly this reason.
@@shadowdawg04doesn’t matter if he is worth it or not. If this actually happened, the booster and all should be held accountable.
@@Ducks23 Funny what you think doesn't matter... let him be accountable for him and his parents being greedy little fcks - had a deal, walked away - consequences for everybody?
NIL as a system is broken. None of these kids are worth seven figures in college. The portal is also a joke. There is zero accountability on the players being forced to man up to their decisions. First Tanager, sure that may have been just a mistake. Second and beyond? No. That's why contracts exist.
Florida should drop the hammer on this as it can't be proven and also seek the plaintiff to pay all attorneys fees.
This is no different than anything else. These kids are worth no less than what recruiters and marketers are willing to pay them.
Why would you presume that the claims cannot be proven? Are you inclined to believe that an alleged 8 figure NIL deal negotiation to secure a prized recruit would not at least involve some non-privileged communication between these defendants that would be subject to discovery? Surely there was also communication between the parties that can be asserted to establish a viable claim of detrimental reliance. This kid was represented by an agent. Who’s the attorney that filed this case? 🤔 This should prove to be a costly embarrassment to these defendants and, by extension, the entire UF football program.
Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it, and the obviousness of this should not need to be explained. Welcome to capitalism. Also, seeking attorney fees is dumb. It's virtually guaranteed they will not be awarded, and could in fact be awarded in the opposite direction as a consequence.
Who would have guessed that NIL would become a big charade and conundrum in college football? No one in the NCAA could have predicted this, could they?
The NCAA want this. They never wanted players to be payed. It's only allowed now because the Supreme Court said they have to. The NCAA is dragging there feet and not putting restrictions and limitations on things because the more they let this get out of control, the more they can act like "I told you so". If they weren't a bunch of egotistical dumbasses, this wouldn't be a problem
Is that written with a sarcastic font?
Definitely in sarcastic font😂
I'd rather watch less talented people who would be happy to receive free education and play for a shot at the pros, just grateful for the opportunity, than these overpaid children
Agree. Free education, an apartment, food, and a chance to play for the pros should be enough. CFB will be dead 10 years from now.
The only point I will relent on is that since a college sport takes up all of their time, perhaps a cost of living stipend equal to what a typical college student would make who is working a part-time job.
@@williammarshall832 I'd say their meals should definitely be covered
@@williammarshall832it won’t be dead. There’s millions of idiots that don’t care how big of a shitshow it is. They’ll still watch.
@@givemeabreakdoc you are right
Ahh, cool. Vanderbilt is the team for you.
a head coach can not make deals/contracts with student athletes and third party...The deal was with player and NIL booster, not Coach Napier...case will get thrown out
Nobody actually follows the rules and the NCAA will just randomly pick teams to punish for it
@@nah3193 as a Gator fan I hope the ncaa “punishes” Florida by forcing us to get rid of Napier!
@@FrenchUncleLouYea and start from scratch again yea that's what we need. Your not to smart are you
@@landongosnell6623 We're regressing so much that we are essentially starting from scratch. Napier is a disaster and is killing the program.
This is a contract law case. There wasn’t a written agreement between the player and the school so it’s his word against the school’s. It’s a “he said/she said”. Although an oral contract between two parties is enforceable, it is only enforceable when both sides agree on the deal points of the agreement and there is no dispute. Obviously, both sides of this case aren’t in agreement on the details. As such, this case won’t ever see the inside of a courtroom. So, why would the player file a lawsuit? Well, an attorney has convinced the family to file in hopes of getting a financial settlement by embarrassing the Coach, the school’s athletic association and negatively affecting recruiting. the attorney will take the case at no cost to the client for a % of the settlement ranging from 30-50%. So, this is why a lawsuit was filed, the truth be damned.
Your primer should have included the term *detrimental reliance* .
Who is plaintiff’s counsel in this case? 🤔 What does this tell you about the likelihood of there being viable claims that can survive MTD(s) and summary judgment, and advance to discovery and trial, if necessary. The facts and the evidence were evaluated by trial lawyers experienced in this space. I expect these defendants will be unsuccessful in getting this case dismissed on the pleadings. It will be interesting to follow.
Thank you for the insight. If Rashada in fact has no substantive evidence to prove that Billy et al made those promises, why don't they just deny his allegations....just tell Rashada to pound sand? No financial settlement necessary. Maybe ending this bad publicity has some financial value, but not too much. The horse has already left the barn. In any case, it's another big fumble by Billy.
This is a fraud case… not a contract case
@@oasisbullterriers An alleged 8 figure NIL deal negotiation to secure a prized recruit would at least involve some non-privileged communication between these defendants that would be subject to discovery. Surely there was also communication between the parties that can be asserted to establish a viable claim of detrimental reliance. Jaden Rashada was represented by an agent before his national signing day. Rashada got Rusty Hardin to take this case. How likely is it that Rusty Hardin would have taken this case, on contingency, if there were no viable and provable claims? These defendants are likely not going to get out from under this without paying something and suffering reputational harm. Will it be court awarded damages, or a settlement? If anything, it’s likely the latter. I look forward to reading, or at least reading about, the responsive pleadings.
Yeah and if defendant feels they have a winnable case, they won't settle. So it all works out just right.
All this because they couldn’t help themselves in trying to stick it another Florida team. Even before NIL, recruiting really does sometimes end up being more about pettiness and spite than actual sense.
Weird since the knock against Napier originally was that he refused to be involved since it was against the rules. We'll see.
This is a money grab by and player and his father who see’s a career going in a direction they did not expect. Petty AF and a terrible look. They can’t PROVE anything.
College football is dumb now.
Only because idiots like Billy Napier are incompetent
Then don’t watch
You’re dumb now
It looks bad on the player but Florida really butchered this whole situation and it was widely reported on at the time
Why. This what yall wanted. Yall kept say these students need to get paid. Well here we go. Same with the playoffs system. Yall kepts whining about a playoffs and now u gotted yall still whining talkn about more teams. When its all said and done. All the teams will be in the playoffs.
I'm just trying to give a little more context to the story as I’m a little surprised someone like Josh hasn’t read into this more before talking about it. The lawsuit states that Billy, Hugh, and the staffer all knowingly and together colluded to have Rashada sign and to lose out on his Miami deal. At the time, Florida didn’t have a QB commit in the recruiting class, so I believe that Billy and co wanted this kid on the team. Billy and co also forwarded $150K to Rashada to help him “get out” of his contract with Miami. Also, the contract Florida offered apparently had a clause where it could be terminated at any time. The whole situation is ludicrous and it’s shady how it came out at a time when Florida was picking up momentum in the transfer portal and recruiting. Kirby is definitely just wanting to cast a negative light on a rival, just like how he reported the incident with Mims. Kirby promotes a fast and furious culture and has had a staffer and player die because of it, but that was swept under the rug.
Well said. But don’t expect JPate to be neutral on this one. He’s a schill for the Canes and sucks up to them. Literally every off-season he has a “why Miami” is so good/going to win big video and kisses up to Kirby too.
He likes those free trips to SoFla and Athens.
Wish Fla wouldn’t have opened their doors to him last month.
None of Georgia players and their numerous speeding offenses were swept under the rug. lol we all know about them
Allegedly the original offer from Florida was 10.5 mil and Rashadas dad tried to up it to 13 mil on signing day and Florida said no.
@@barrone71 he’s also a Napier lover too though
for sure, Florida is coming and he knows it. we’ve been having crazy momentum.
Yea Rashada bailed in an NIL deal at ASU to go to UGA.
The game inside the game is overshadowing the game itself now. I’ll miss the classic days at UF with Lunkquist and it being about the sec grind games coming down to defense. Nothing was more exciting than those games being within a score late in the 4th standing on your feet the whole game losing your voice.
Really enjoyed your analysis and commentary on this.
This is why we need collective bargaining and set price points. Starting QB at a Big 10 school? You get, say, 400 grand. Second-string OL at an ACC school? You get 50 grand. And eliminate these "collectives". If Big Jim's Trucks in Evanston wants to pay every starting Northwestern OL 100 grand and run an advertising campaign around the theme of "My trucks are as tough and reliable as these linemen," that's fine. If Carson Beck gets paid 10 grand to sign autographs for 4 hours, that's fine. If Miller Moss at USC gets a cut of the money from the jersey sales of his jersey, that's great. That's what NIL is FOR. But having these slimy "collectives" essentially buying players is crazy.
So is your issue with NIL or how the boosters/collectives operate? Can’t set a price point on how much a person is worth unless you’re the one cutting the check. Their brands go beyond football
@@FLA813BMO If you would carefully read my comment, you would see that I have zero issue with actual NIL. Get paid so someone can use your face on a billboard advertising their product? Fine with that. Money from signing autographs? Go for it! Money from jersey sales or video game appearances or making a speech to a company about how teamwork is important because it won you the national title last year and you're back to win another one this year? Absolutely!
What I don't want is sleazy "collectives" paying millions of dollars for no actual work, just as a bribe to make sure they get a kid.
Goog thing this Kid never talked to a military recruiter....
“Get it all out in the open.” Amen Josh. Then we can see the absolute shitshow the “pay the players” advocates made.
This is why coaches are only talking football to recruits. There's now branches of the school that deal directly with NIL
Coach did nothing wrong. He deserves an extension. Go Dawgs
They have ruined CFB. And for Kirby to give it his blessing is sad. Liked him till now
What's sad about Kirby giving his blessing? He wasn't suing GA. If FL didn't do right by the Player, then they should be sued.
Gee..... who ever could have possibly predicted that paying kids who are supposed to be AMATEUR, STUDENT - ATHLETES would bring along with it moronic and greedy crap like this?
It's almost as if remaining AMATEUR, STUDENT - ATHLETES could have helped avoid this.
This was all avoidable.
lol. Isn’t your star qb getting like 8 million or something absurd?
@@tlobrill1 He is. And it's despicable.
@@rockytoptom lol. As the joker once said about why he wouldn’t simply kill the Batman. “ if you’re good at something, never do it for free”. You’re also freaking out about a situation with one guy. Plenty have operated just fine getting paid at most schools. This is the exception not the rule.
Do people forget this was a ruling from the Supreme Court? It’s not like the NCAA changed their minds, they had no choice
@@rockytoptomstop pocket watching and you won’t be upset.
Am I understanding something wrong, the highest NIL deals currently around 5 million, but yet thia guy was promised 2 to 2 1/2 times the top guy right now, something seems off to me, maybe I am wrong
Sounds like dude tried to play the system and got played.. without even playing. Fascinating
Players suing coaches, yet I wasn't allowed to have an alumni buy me dinner without being scrutinized by our compliance officer in 2013. My how things have changed
The issue is Rashada signed a contract NIL deal with John Ruiz, once a contract is signed no outside party can interfere with the execution of the contract it’s called tortious interference and is illegal and grounds for a lawsuit.
I'm sorry my man, but contracts are still subject to established law. You can't write an illegal contract and expect to enforce it in court. Which is precisely what the court will decide in this case.
Just came here to see the “adults” adulting, and you guys never disappoint. The only thing that surprises me, is how most of y’all walk, without falling more.
Kirby gave his blessing as a statement don't make promises you can't keep and if you can't afford the price shop cheaper but there dose need to be guid lines and rules with the NIL thing
Breaking a nil contract is, by definition, “breach of contract.”
This kid is not worth 500k, I refuse to believe anyone ever offered him 14mil.
Here's what happens next. A few teams with the wealthiest and most willing boosters (i.e. Phil Knight) buy the team they want leaving all the others unable to compete. No more wild games like the Kentucky upset of LSU in 2007. Boring, boring, boring so TV is pi$$ed that audience has drastically shrunk and tells the conferences no more lucrative TV contracts. Conferences rush to Congress who finally acts but not before chaos has ensued. Congress always waits too long to act.
Texas A&M tried that with a lesser coach with lousy results
@@chipparmley So far. And that was when it had to be some entity outside of the university paying the NIL money. Now the schools pay directly. Money talks. It will be this way.
This is the best time for this story to come out. The general public does not care about an athlete not getting paid $13 million to play college football. The people that care, like us and HS recruits have time to pay attention right now. Secondly, this is the time when HS recruits make their OV’s to their prospective Universities. Florida does not want their HS recruits asking about this lawsuit!
The lawsuit was in motion long before he ever even considered UGA. And verbal agreements in FL are a thing legally, so there’s no contract needed for proof!
You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
Timing is perfect, the last thing they want is a major ruling around bowl season, or the start of 2025.
If the players do start being paid by the universities and/or conferences the likelihood of schools suing student athletes who flee a commitment goes up. Rashada's lawsuit might backfire for the student athletes as well because those giving the NIL packages might sue fleeing college athletes
FYI, oral agreements are enforceable in court. But you hit the nail on the head, can you prove it. I'm thinking that their are probably text messages and emails to prove the agreement. If you do file a lawsuit you can expect a counterclaim.
If there was any evidence of such Billy and co. would have already settled
Oh no, he was promised something and didn't get it. Welcome to the real world kid. Enjoy paying all of the attorney's fees once you lose.
Maybe maybe not. Let's wait to hear his evidence.
You’re right, when will schools start suing players for taking money up front only to transfer to another school?
My question is I don’t think anyone “promised anything “maybe “said “ but not “promised “
Hmmmm Nick Saban told everyone what was going to happen…..
He’s not wrong, schools could sue for a kid skipping town early. Honestly, we just need contracts.
I live auction of the players would be even more exciting lol line them up a few showcase throws and let the bidding begin omg what is it coming to now??? Where does it go or end?
Paid employees which the players are considered then signed NLI should be considered a contract
Rashada claims Napier never intended to pay him? C'mon, now. If you follow Florida, you know how highly people talk about Billy Napier's character. Boosters love him, players love him, administration, parents, fans, media, everyone loves Billy Napier. You hear things like, "He's so genuine, he is heartfelt, you can tell he really cares, he is such a great person, ect." Right? That's what we keep hearing about Napier. So, I just want to ask Rashada, "You're telling me _that_ guy, who everyone loves and says is genuine and honest, that guy colluded to dupe you out of money?" C'mon, now. You're talking about proving _intent._ That is hard enough on its own. But proving it about Napier, that he intended to do something like that? Yeah, good luck. Even if it is true; even if the intent was there to trick Rashada, there's _no way_ he's going to prove that! I think Josh is totally right. The confusion and fog of war got to some folks. If Napier promised Rashada $13m+, Napier truly thought he could get it because he couldn't see through the fog.
Moral is grass and money isn’t always greener
Saw this crap coming back in 2019/2020. Every one spent years trashing the NCAA about everything under the sun…and now all those same people are hoping the NCAA can swoop in and save the sport. NIL and the transfer portal need to stay but there needs to be control/over-site and standard rules in place to prevent this mess that is now CFB. Until there is control this mess we have been seeing the last three years will continue and probably get worse not better.
I doubt Kirby gave the lawsuit “his blessing”. The Rashadas gave him a heads up and Kirby asked some questions and accepted it. Doubt he preferred it.
been saying for a while I dont think it is fair to the college to give these kids an NIL deal for them just to walk away to the portal...IMO short of a complete rework of the system players should get 1 or the other... you can sign an NIL contract....OR you can portal jump....so if you sign an NIL contract you shouldn't be able to portal jump...
My question is: What did he get to go to ASU and UGA?
Seems to me this is simply an 'offer' ? --- Might have been an effort to undermine the Miami success in recruiting ? But - like you said - 'can you prove it' ? (( what a mess))
It is good to learn the NIL contracts can be attached to multi-year requirements. If so, the athletes should be held accountable. I would guess the Universities don't get involved, it would be the Collectives and agents, yes? If so, wouldn't it be the Collectives who sue both athletes & agents for breaking the contract, not the Universities?
A player’s agent is not going to be a party to an NIL contract. They don’t get sued for breach of contract.
No wonder Saban left! He seen it coming!
There’s no way these nil deals don’t get to a place where they don’t get tied to actually staying time and actual game play.
As a Florida fan, I would be okay if they move to settle outside of court. That can do more to help our brand than winning the lawsuit.
I also wouldn’t recommend teams offering players money, 13mil, before they play a snap and get on campus to see how they impact the team…and their commitment to the whole process. Tell the guys you’ll get it to them along their seasons. But not beforehand.
Also I’m not gonna say the guy isn’t talented. But, he has to establish yourself somewhere. He’s officially been at 3 schools already. You have to post at some point. And if you can ball all this stuff is irrelevant.
Unfortunately, NIL and the transfer portal have transformed college football into an unrecognizable circus.
Recreation it was in Florida Josh battles is struggling for his life at this moment his brother is deceased due to the actions that have happened so y'all just reach out and hope he has a recovery
Dabo not looking so dumb now
He really doesn’t evidence to prove much of anything. He needs enough evidence to show that laws MAY have been broken. Then he just needs to convince a jury the things he alleged happened more likely than not. You really don’t think they don’t have something that significantly backs up his case? The circumstantial evidence alone is bad for UF.
Wow now they can fire him without paying him
I'm guessing the 'blessing' was more along the lines of 'do what you gotta do, just be prepared to compete'.
NIL as a system is broken. Not sure anyone with a greater than room temperature IQ would argue against that.
Certainly is enough greed to go around these days.
He should sue. He did right by not taking the word of the coach after a promise/guarantee was already broken. It affected his money and recruitment and he deserves compensation for essentially fruad
Sounds like he committed to one team, another team offered more money and later changed their mind but not before the kid burned bridges on the originally committed school.
Get rid of the NIL and the transfer portal. If they care about college football they should remove both of these problems!
Hey yo why don't you all put out some prayers for that Auburn player who's still trying to recover in the hospital right now he was shot in the head and on life support at this moment and another Auburn player is deceased at this time there was a gun battle here in Auburn and they got involved
this is all about a settlement !
Welcome parents and student athletes, it’s time to play Let’s Make A Deal. Would you trade your funk for this?
Marvin Harrison Jr. is being sued by Fanatics based on an NIL deal he signed with them while at Ohio State. Foolish people are thinking that NIL deals are going to benefit players specifically how players want to be paid or benefitted and there should never be any accountability taken by the players.
What if, the whole thing was a bluff to get him to de commit from a rival school, “we done want you but we don’t want them to have you either”
The only people who don’t like NIL and the Portal are the schools who don’t have the ability to benefit from it. It’s the future, bye bye to your 20K alumni base team
Lol Kirby be like "So you wanna sue Billy Napier? How would you like to be an honorary QB??"
I'd be shocked if Kirby really gave that his blessing. Not only is it just not like him but if successful he's opening the door for himself to get sued by a former disgruntled player in the future.
If you rely on a promise from a coach of money, who you know is not the one is going to be putting up them money himself, then you get what you deserve, because that was careless.
For a sport with so many rules how is it that college football became mired in a situation (NIL and Portal) with no over-arching rules and no effective governance? How? Money, that's how. As soon as we decided that a free college education (at a time when college education is becoming unaffordable for the non-athlete) with free room and board and with the other special advantages that college athletes enjoy (tutoring, mentoring, state of the art conditioning facilities, etc.) are insufficient reward for the college athlete, we started down the path of no return toward the NFL model and the end of amateur athletics.
They do have text messages from assistant coach and booster. According to laws suit. They’ll settle out of court.
this NIL and transfer portal stuff needs to be cleaned up
Who wants a sue happy teenager
What's gonna happen when players realize if they refuse to play in the playoffs unless they get millions?
The backups will play, depth will matter. nobody is bigger than the team or brand.
Those same spoiled brats will also give themselves a pariah and mercenary tag which will make the pros not look at them because of their being a prima domna. Very bad optics of abandoning your team in the playoffs.
@@alycynde5237 You say that but I watched Derek Stingly basically opt out and JaMarr Chase opt out. I think it's save to say it didn't hurt their draft stock.
@@jacksonlebeouf3333 In today's word, If the two teams in the championship game refused to play unless they got 50% of the revenue, there's zero chance the TV company wouldn't pay the money.
They aren't under contract unlike everyone else involved.
No way ANY high school player is worth that much! This will turn the casual watcher off and will hurt viewership imho
I’m sure not looking forward to college football after all of this it just reeks.
No problem with kids getting paid but let them earn it first first maybe their junior and senior year they can make the bucks but earn it first
Nil is out of control and some of these teams are desperate to turn around their program. All it takes is an extremely desperate coach or program to way overpay for a QB and then the market is set and it screws over every college football program. Set a Max that can be paid and a minimum that can be paid so even the less important position at least gets something so nobody feels left out. That way with everyone getting something it doesn't cause jealousy in locker rooms. We really need limits set so all of the college football programs have a standard to go by before these amounts get even more out of control and it really destroys some of the college football programs we love.
Wasn't Napier brought in to Florida to avoid headlines, elite recruiting & team discipline??? If I'm a Florida fan, I'd rather have Mullen than Napier. Everyone in CFB speak exceptionally high of his character but he just seems to be having the roughest go at it than ALL of the other coaches they fired (Muschamp, MacElwain, Mullen). All three of those coaches had a better start to their careers there @ Florida. What's MORE likely? Napier WILDY changes things around in year 3??? OR Things continue in the same trajectory of the last 2 years & they're sub .500 You can't do that at a program like Florida. It's not Kentucky or South Carolina. You're expected to be a top 8 program down there & it's NO WHERE close to that now.
who decided that children could destroy the game we love . im done . god bless to everyone
There are people here writing lengthy copium-filled responses about the contract, when in reality, that's not what Billy and the others are being sued for. Hilarious!
$9 million, $13 Million? How are these schools so dumb. Who would drop that kind of money on a kid who could end up being a total bust?
Fire Scott Strickland already
Proof or not looks real bad on Napier and crew. I'm not sad about that because he is greezy! And you know he did it.
I think Florida is behind this. If the coach mishandled this. Florida dumps the coach and doesn't have to pay the coach.
Interesting viewpoint I’d like to know more how this could happen.
He got a whole contract everyone signed so bro bout to get paid
Lol imagine walking on 9mil from Miami only to be a backup at Arizona and then ride the bench at UGA 😂
9million? Man, I don’t want to ever hear anyone say that Miami doesn’t have the money. Shitttttt!! Miami’s got the money!
It's a private university, of course they have money...
Makes you wonder if Kirby recruited this kid to wage a legal proxy war on UF. He wasnnt even starting material at ASU
Yeah…if college football doesn’t get a “handle” on NIL then College football is effed! 😮
If CFB is setting themselves up to be the NFL's minor league so to speak, then why not make contracts legal and binding.
Bc the story getting to that point gets people interested I guess politics is more exciting than football itself??
Two sides to every story... Go Gators
Jaden Rashada will never play a snap for Georgia.
