Possibly then donate the money to UF to help with Cousin Eddie and Mike's buyouts when fired. Then keep him on as a paid consultant until he recoups the current cash value of the 5 Large.

Good for him. If he can't play professional ball he's at least got one helluva start on his financial future.

This. I wish there was more of this in football than there seems to be. Hopefully he handles it well.

If he is insured getting paid is what insurance is for.

Sure. But his insurance is to ensure that he doesn’t need insurance and will be assured a career instead.

Interesting POV. I have insurance to pay for things that I don't want to take the risk of happening. My car insurance does not prevent some idiot from running a stop sign and creating damage, it does pay when that happens.

Now I hope he will be healthy enough to actually have a basketball career, but the evidence so far indicates that is unlikely, so getting paid is what the insurance is for.

This is one of those times I think of the movie Terminator 2, where the kid is trying to teach a cyborg to act more human. The cyborg has no sense of humor, doesn't recognize or understand sarcasm, and sees every single thing in purely black-and-white terms with no middle ground. Basically we have a Terminator as a member of this board.

We've all tried at some point or another to have a debate with the Terminator, but by the end just hoping he'll kill us instead. It would be less painful.

Not sure who is advising KJ but if the provision still allows him to pursue a professional career why is he still at UF?

Johnson's policy provides him enough flexibility to take steps toward playing professionally and still be able to reverse course and make an insurance claim, one source said. If he does trigger the insurance policy that Florida paid the premiums on, there's an option for him to take the $5 million as a lump sum. There's no timetable or deadline for Johnson to make a decision on his future.

Much like the Kobe Bryant rape case this may be a time when the ultrarich can buy their way out. If you are the family of the victim, would you rather have 10 million or zero $$$ and him in prison.

100 million in the case of Kobe's victim.

I'm not even really sure what you're talking about. Only Chief thinks there's even a chance Keyontae goes to prison. That's the whole reason he paid for insurance.

The guy is dead, Donk. Low blow even for you. That woman was a ultra-skanky gold-digger with an agenda. Disappointing groupie sex is not rape.

He should go to prison for insurance fraud. That kid needs to pick himself up by his bootstraps, get his ass out on the court, and lead us to the final four. He's fine. I've seen him on the sideline and he totally looks back to normal. In any case, he has to have some culpability for the collapse since he made the choice to take the vaccine in the first place.

JFC Pasty, you're my new best friend. Keyontae is the Tiffany Dover of Gator Basketball. Vaccine? What Vaccine?

The bottom line, Law is drunk again and thinks that Keyontae Johnson died in a fiery helicopter crash in Vegas, strictly to collect the insurance money.

Other than she was a 19 y/o who worked at the hotel I don't believe any additional information about her was released. And as Donk said, you don't pay 100 million to a victim if you are innocent. As I recall the rumor was the case involved forcible sodomy. Bryant was always a scumbag in my opinion.
