Again, if the number was anything North of 1 million dollars let him walk. With that said, we have to get organized here, even if it is “3rd party”

 

[MertzJay26]

If y’all would have just donated the $5/month to the collective, none of this would be a problem smh

... napier was right afterall, this kid is a saint, his family is amazing, hes extremely mature and a class act both as a leader and team mate. trust the process, have faith, it takes 3-4 years to build a program, hes got to get his guys, there's still a lot of cancer in the locker room, we still lag in facilities, the fans are too negative, not enough money in the university system, and he needs a bigger support staff and more on field coaches to be able to handle all aspects of the game sufficiently. can't wait to see rashada's first snap against the 2 time pac 12 champs!

Nailed the heart of the problem right there.

NCAA is toothless on this. They allowed the Wild West with no rules or guidance.

Yet, you can bet they'll find a way to put us on three years probation and take away 10 schollies.

Lol. I'll believe it when I see it, but not out of the realm. Lots of others doing far worse than us hiring a drunk who's rumored to have taken some kickback from Miami to run our Collective and provide them with insider info. Also feels like someone from On3 has it out for us considering the bullseye they seem to have painted on us with their reporting. There are guys from big time news teams from big networks saying on Twitter that the number floated in these rumors is comical and that there isn't a single college player getting deals this big.

“Violations?” The ncaa has done nothing to regulate nil, not sure what rules they have to base any allegations?

Cop - do you know why I pulled you over?
Me - no.
Cop - me neither, but I don’t like this situation, so here’s your citation. Have a nice day.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Would be about as Florida as possible to lose this kid AND get hit with a violation.

 

[EyeDocGator]

If Rashada has a valid contract that has been violated he has cause to file a suit against the entity signing the contract. Since there are no NCAA rules regarding NIL there will be no violations or penalties. I do not believe any entity (even one representing UF) could have been stupid enough to sign a contract guaranteeing $13M to an unproven high school student.

 

[FlyingGator]

Dumb question..if Rashada doesn’t enroll here by end of day, could he still enroll early elsewhere, like say UW, next week or later?

Never ever "misunderestimate" the STOOPIDITY that the Univ. of Florida is capable of within the sports arena. Way too many examples to cite.

Enrollment deadlines aren't universal, each college sets its own. We are also talking about early enrollment.

 

[Gatorbait_007]

Well they've got McClain still shopping around for the highest bidder. It's not like this ain't happening to them

McClain didn't sign a LOI

Considering the Pate video and the other info continuing to swirl, this is either the largest conspiracy against UF imaginable, which is extremely doubtful (as much as any fan would want it to be true), or quite possibly a f’up of epic proportions where administration and regulation of NIL is concerned that has the potential do damage to the team and the school that will be difficult to quickly overcome. The term “Clown Show” gets thrown around pretty easily these days, but if this situation is verified, I think we’ll see the new Webster’s definition. I hope it’s not as bad as it looks or there’s a fix available, but I have some doubts.

So if the deal was cancelled on December 7, why did Rashada later sign?

And how the hell can the NCAA punish a university for NIL violations when they weren't involved in creating the contract?

There's a lot here that doesn't make much sense.

Right. We are left to believe that the Collective(?) might have made a deal that our HC wasn't aware of or didn't sign off on or wasn't aware of and now our collective cannot pay? All speculation on my part but isn't that the closest scenario we can understand from the information available? What basis would the Gator collective or whomever devises these agreements have to offer $13 million? Nothing makes sense. Why would any team agree to pay an unproven talent millions more than a decent college QB would be paid in the NFL? There are few QBs making that kind of money. Someone used Trask, a successful college QB being paid less than $2 million a season, as an example. Where did our collective get those numbers, from something offered by miami? But is it really reasonable to believe miami offered that much? I don't think so but who knows at this point. Feels like amateur hour.

 

[MJMGator]

It’s a new recruiting strategy. Offer up NIL contracts for a bajillion dollars and then send a letter after they’ve signed their LOI saying “oopsy…had an error with a few decimal points!”.

 

[Ironhead]

Regarding NCAA penalties.
Hell, What’s to stop any University from adding another 20 players all under a “scholarship” paid for by the collective?

Sure, the limit is 85.
Technically, all these other players wouldn’t count against the 85 because they’re private scholly’s.
They’re all walk ons.

So in conclusion.
F the NCAA, their rules and their arbitrary limits.

It’s a free for all.

I have crunched the numbers. I have run the models. We have 2 choices that may work-

1.) Old fashioned slump buster-
We, as a group, as Gator fans, are in a multi year slump. Only a genuine slump buster can cure this.
2.) Blood Sacrifice-
We have obviously been cursed. Its time to end it.
