    If the NCAA comes at Florida and tries to make an example of them like the Charlie Pell program, with other programs just laughing at us while they were given rides, fake jobs, bags of money and non existent academics, directing their NIL program just as an extension of the program, Alabama, LSU, Georgia come to mind, but no one will come after them, probably not even Miami, who uses the NIL as their recruiting team, signing contracts before they are in school, getting in touch with the players and families. Well I hope we don’t throw everyone under the bus. we should stand up and fight that the NCAA and the SEC, that have sat on the sidelines( hands) when everybody is making their own rules. (States) Now after seeing problems coming up all over, they want to make an example of a high profile school like UF again. Remember, the Charlie Pell sinking Florida just escalated cheating to a higher level for the teams that have then and still to this day skirt the rules.

    After reading the breakdown per month Rashada wanted on top of $500K up front I’m glad he went elsewhere.

    Whoever even considered that kind of money to an unproven recruit shouldn’t be trusted in dealing with anyone on UFs behalf.

    I agree. Sounds like the horses are out of the barn and running wild. Somehow in about a month we went from "no bidding wars" to someone telling a kids' father "heres what you're dreaming of".

    This is mind boggling! Apparently he got $125k from Ruiz U, and had to pay that back. He also supposedly got nothing from ASU to sign there. Utter nonsense what is going on now, imho.

    I'm highly disappointed if UF was on-board with that kind of money. Is it possible the "3rd parties" and Rashadas were talking those dollars without anybody on Napier's staff informed?

    It was also interesting to read that Napier continued heaping praise on Jaden even after the deal fell apart. Again, I know Coach "wasn't allowed" to be part of the process, but did he even know the size of the money bag being kicked around?

    The big question related to your post is who do you define as "we"?

    That would be my guess and why the offer was pulled. Maybe both parties thought they could reach a more reasonable agreement and the final offer was not something the handlers wanted.

    That article saying how poorly he performed at the Athletic being associated with all that he was going through in recruiting really made me think that JR was going to be another UF QB with emotional issues getting in the way of football.

    He'll be in the transfer portal before the end of next season.

    Can someone please explain to me how an attorney can be on retainer with an NIL collective, then also be on retainer for a sports agency who represents/negotiates on behalf of a player with that same collective, and it NOT be considered a conflict of interest?

    The kid needs to take his handlers and parents out of the equation and just work hard.

    How did this guy get a copy of the contract, and if he really has it, then why hasn’t he posted it in its entirety? I call bs..

    The fact is that people believe whatever makes them feel better. There’s too much smoke for this to be total bullshit

    All I can say is, with us being the poster boy for being negatively impacted by NIL more than any other school, if we get made into a whipping boy for the NCAA's incompetence we should fight to the end. Virtually every school in America is testing the NCAA's NIL limits with zero rule enforcement.

    All I’ve seen is a bunch of hacks quoting other hacks. No named source on any of it. This Staples guy says he has a copy of the contract. If that’s true, why not put it in his article in its entirety, or at least use some actual verbiage from the contract in quotes? Nobody will go on the record as a source? The guy who says he has an actual copy of the contract won’t even quote anything directly from it? It makes no sense, and it’s garbage journalism.
