    So what’s more important, respect of your peers or money?

    My analogy didn’t include Miami, though it likely should have, but that would be a third house involved.

    What I think Billy could possibly be on the hook for is blowing up the GC deal. I have no idea if that actually happened, but it was definitely one of the rumors floating around at the time, and still. Proving any of this is a whole other matter.

    We have very few, really no credible pieces to the puzzle yet. I kinda think it will stay that way.

    How did your neighbor blow up the deal? If he just undercut you, tough luck. Depends what he did I guess.

    Both. Handle things behind closed doors. Spend a little money, then go make a lot more. Airing my private life out in front of the world, and losing huge sums in future income isn’t really what I’d call a win.

    He’s not selling his house. He just didn’t want me to sell mine. For this analogy, how he blew up my sale isn’t really that important, as it likely wouldn’t have taken much for the head coach to get a deal like this blown up. Most of us would actually support the move. I would as I think this kind of money for this kid is just flat out stupid.

    Agreed and it shouldn’t be illegal for our coach to nix a deal. That’s exactly how it should work. If the laws are any different, the laws are wrong.

    There’s a difference between hiding, and not wanting intimate details of your personal life on display for the world to view.

    We’ve morphed this into something else now. My fault for bringing up Heard and Depp. It’s unlikely that we’re going to read about anyones girlfriend pooping on the bed in this case. There are, however, things within these defendants lives they’d probably prefer not to have aired publicly.

    You still never know what’s going to happen when you let a jury decide your fate. No matter how iron clad you think your case is, you can still lose, and lose big.

    We all agree the laws around NIL are stupid. Lots of laws are. I don’t think tortious interference is bad law though.

    In this case, the coach really doesn’t have the right to blow up a kids deal (not saying he did), even if we both agree that he should. It’s not his money, and if someone else wants to give the kid 13 million, that’s their right. When the UAA starts cutting the checks, the coach becomes part of the deal. When the deal is between a third party and an athlete, it’s none of the coach’s business.

    Rusty Hardin is mostly known for getting famous sleazy people off, interesting to see him on the plaintiff side. Guess he hadn’t sought out any headlines in a while

    Besides the unattainable attempt to prove that UF never intended to get him NIL intending to defraud him for ulterior purposes, which is not going to be believes by anyone, that he asked to be released from his letter of intent shows he didn't want to take a deal when he could have the chance of being paid a lot of money by UF's collective, but with no guarantee he could even get one year of NIL from any of Miami, UF or ASU. All of these NIL contracts are going to have a way for the collective to back out. He won't be able to prove any damages. That he pulled out of ASU suggests he wouldn't live out a full NIL contract with any school.

    I find it very hard to believe BN planned and executed a false NIL offer just to ruin Rashada's deal with Miami's NIL. That is what is being alleged here. Bullshit.

    I find that hard to believe also, and think it would be even harder to prove. I believe that’s one of the things being alleged here.

    I doubt BN had anything to do with the contract. He's a careful guy being guided by a very careful school admin. The slightest connection I'd think that could be made here is that BN saw how the kid/parents were acting vis-a-vis the NIL & decided that he wasn't a good cultural fit. Someone could've misstated that BN "killed the deal" & gave the kid the impression that's what happened.

    I mostly agree in that I don’t think he was privy to the majority of the negotiations. He certainly shouldn’t have been. There were rumors back when it happened that he balked at the dollar amount when he caught wind of it though. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether that actually happened, and it’s very unlikely we’ll ever actually know. It does seem plausible though. Fwiw, I fully support the killing of the deal as I think it was a very bad deal (assuming the released contract is legit).

    But that third party doesn't want to make the deal unless the coach believes it is good. That is the prerogative of the third party, not interference. Apples and oranges.

    At the time this happened, the third party and the coach were not really allowed to be in cahoots. They weren’t even allowed to put the money and the athlete together. They still aren’t supposed to be part of the negotiations. They’re just allowed to put the two parties together. Prior to whatever happened today, anyway.

    I dunno, truly. But I have some thoughts.

    Under the federal rules of civil procedure, if there was a written contract they are required to attach it to their complaint, or their complaint will be dismissed.

    While oral contracts are enforceable, an agreement which extends beyond one year is required to be in writing under Florida law, with some exceptions. If they have no written contract, their ability to enforce a performance period is very limited.

    I do not think there is a written agreement, signed by all parties, which is why the lawsuit alleges fraud, etc., against parties who would not have been signatories to the agreement--such as Napier.

    This is a leghumper agenda, and the lawyers for Rashada are just throwing everything out there to try to squeeze a settlement.
