Jaden Rashada joins powerhouse Arizona State; named starting QB as true freshman

[Durty South Swamp]

So much for all that coach speak about him being a great teammate, leader, and mature individual from an amazing family. Appears that it's all and only about the money. Screw the school and the team. I thought we were getting rid of all the cancer on this team.

 

[Gator By Marriage]

That's an interesting number deet.
Also interesting...Pete Nakos, the one "breaking" this is from...........Ohio.

Coincidence? I think not.

All the venom aimed at this kid may be totally justified, but I have to admit I’d like to know all the facts before I condemn him. If it’s a case of him raising the price tag at the last possible moment, then eff him. But what if he was given the ol’ bait and switch? If a deal was made and it’s not being kept at the collective’s end, can we really blame him for wondering what else he was lied to about? I suspect I’ll end up shrugging either way in the end.

Pick a side fency.

I find myself strangely not caring about this drama. As a Florida fan, I have been desensitized..

As a side note, I never thought this pencil neck was a great talent who would save out program.

 

[GatorJ]

Not buying it.
And it wouldn't be the Collective throwing around that kind of cash...it would be the Guard....would it not?

Smells like bullschit to me.

The guard funds the collective for big deals. All contracts and payouts come from the collective.

 

[GatorJ]

And for reference, Ohio State's AD said 6 months ago, it was $13M for their entire roster. $13M for a player defies any logic.

Probably for the year.

$13m for Rashada is for 4 years. And it did break the bank.

In that case we are better off if he goes. Right?

 

[revgator]

This is all so disgusting. All of it. It's ridiculous and frivolous. I don't think watch professional sports for this very reason and to have it happen at the college level is reprehensible.

There are thousands of students every year who do well in school, help their communities, and will be productive members of society who are turned down to attend this same university and these primadonnas profane the integrity of the same university all because they can play a game well.

How can you root for a team made up of individuals who don't even care about the university they play for. I almost believe this was all a ploy to burn it all down anyways.

Hallelujah, holy cow... Where's the Tylenol!

If we can get a QB out of the portal, yes.

From some stuff that I read - all rumors of course

The $13M was not the offer than BN knew about. It was offered without the knowledge of some people and it killed the NIL deals of a couple other kids we were trying to sign on ESD.

$1.5M is now due for Rashada and the collective has been scrambling trying to figure out how to pay it without screwing up other NIL deals. The collective is responsible for paying when though it’s funded by the GG.

I hope this is incorrect

 

[Silverback Gator]

From what I’m reading, even if the mistake is on our collective(?), I would rather just suffer through another poor season than pay him $3.25 million a season. Seems that one hand did not know what the other was doing.

 

[Daryl]

Grant his wish. Shred his paperwork, take that money and get Walker and a Tackle

 

[Silverback Gator]

For reference, Kyle Trask's NFL contract is 4 years, $5.5M.

Could NIL cause some rookies to renegotiate their paltry deals? Ha!

 

[Silverback Gator]

Orlando sentinel reporting the $13M number

If that is true and it’s over, I hope we part ways sooner than later. Ready for the saga to end.

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

Could NIL cause some rookies to renegotiate their paltry deals? Ha!

The collective bargaining agreement basically sets the rookie salaries, so not really. But it could make some guys stay in school longer.

 

[AugustaGator]

Can we stop lying now?

They are not students.

I like college primarily because of the connection and their heart.

Oh well.

 

[AugustaGator]

Do you watch movies? Those actors are playing a part to get rich. Sports are nothing more than an arm of the entertainment industry. If people watch the product, then those involved get rich.

Isn’t that what the nfl is for?
