Okay, the FL collective still looks like they're useless in all this but I'm not liking the look for Rashada either.

I know NIL isn't officially tied to a school but we all know the game: the players know, the schools know, the NCAA knows and the collectives know. The game is: we pay, you play for us.

If Rashada took money from Miami then flipped to FL, even with the understanding FL would repay Miami....... that's an a$$h*le move.

Unless this kid is the second coming of Cam Newton or Michael Vick, I hope nobody will touch him now. Taking money and dipping out is the kind of thing that gets people "dealt with" in the real world and college football is rapidly becoming a very real world when it comes to money.

If this is true about Rashada, there needs to be an example made. Kids becoming millionaires when they put in the work is acceptable. Kids taking upfront money and disappearing from a program and pinning repayment on a "transfer school" they then dip out on is beyond unacceptable.

Maybe I'm getting how this worked out wrong?

I agree. I know Florida is the biggest loser in this thing if they agreed to do it and then failed to deliver. But I don’t really feel bad for Rashada at this point.

Rashada apparently received NIL money from Miami's group? That is news to me, and a bad look for him.
I think your hostile feelings toward the player more than the Gator Collective is a bit strange.
You give Rashada 100% blame when he was enticed by the Gator NIL group and even backed to pay some amount of money back to one of Miami's NIL orgs. ---edited, was not accurate. (He blames both.)

He backed out of the Miami deal at their behest and with the full promised backing of Gator Collective.
Gator Collective bears at least as much responsibility for the situation, probably more. It is a dirty play, then compounded by their own dirty play against Rashada.
They screwed over Miami's NIL, then screwed over their own player.

Gator Collective has received some potentially catastrophic PR damage from these events, and that translates to damage to the football program's ability to benefit from facilitated deals with recruits and current players.
I don't think anyone can disagree they overpromised this kid by a lot, but they did the promising, they either back it up, or look inept and untrustworthy to recruits. That is where they are going forward.

Good.

I get it. Reading isn't your strong suit.

Read the Outkick story cited in the post I was responding to.

Apparently the Miami collective paid Rashada upfront and the FL collective paid Miami back when he "flipped" but then the FL collective couldn't deliver the money they promised Rashada.

I get it, reading isn't your strong suit when I lead my comment with "the FL collective is useless" but you still say I blame Rashada only, when I don't.

Both the Miami collective that paid up front and the FL collective that couldn't finish the flip are useless, which I said. They let a kid outsmart them for what is apparently millions of dollars with zero actual commitment to either school.

Yeah, Rashada looks like an a$$ in this but FL and Miami both demonstrated that their collectives are run by idiots.

Love your avatar, btw.

I do think Rashada can have a successful civil suit against the Gator Collective, based on that article.
They backed out of their deal, apparently leaving rashada no time to negotiate with another NIL Collective. That would be bad faith, if that is how it happened.

All you had to say was I misunderstood you. I shouldn't have said you blame Rashada 100%. But you came in insulting my intelligence.
Good Lord you are wound tight.
I agree with you 99%, but You would think we are enemies.

According to an article today in The Athletic, he paid the Miami collective back.

"Also, I was told that the Florida collective paid-off a certain amount of money to the Miami collective, for funds already given to Rashada under the previous contract. When asked about this situation, John Ruiz could not comment on the matter. "
Jaden Rashada Officially Asks For Release From Florida Scholarship, Ending College Football's First NIL Holdout

The entire series of events looks Bush League.

It's all Bush League to offer a HS player that hasn't taken a college down $13mil. Saban has shown two recruits the door for demanding urealistic NIL compensation straight out of HS.

Dillingham ASU coach (former duck OC) previously recruited him for Oregon. Don't know much about him, but it sounds like no NIL money at ASU... (at this time)

Same take on nil$ , don't see any. ON3 has an estimated $470k NIL valuation on him. But hey who knows what a FR QB is worth.

Cautionary tales are cautionary. When unrestricted free agency in the NFL took off, teams were giving backup QBs like Cody Carlson and backup OT’s like Don Maggs starter money. The market corrects itself after some bruise their nose trying to inch it ahead.
