Commits to Miami, UF steals him away but screws up the NIL. So he leaves UF and goes to Az State.

There for a seaon, goes to UGA and sues UF.

Now?
...

..entering the portal again.




Wish him luck but who is going to take a chance on this guy after 4 schools in two years, and now looking for a high bidder.

And will sue you if it goes South.

This is hilarious. "Suitcase" Rashada is on path to set a record that will not be topped. Once he flops as a qb and finally runs out of eligibility, he will make an excellent agent for college athletes/NIL.

Florida did kinddddddaaaa screw the pooch here though if we’re being honest. But whatever makes the gators feel better about not following through on promises.


They are separate issues. Yes, UF screwed up the NIL deal. It was the first year, they mishandled it, no excuse. But my larger point is that this typifies the attitude of players these days working both ends against the middle.

At this point, even if UF didn't screw up his initial NIL deal he would have transferred from UF already. Hell, he flipped his verbal commitment to UF from Miami to begin with.

UPDATE: Rashada is suing Pfizer for an extra COVID year.

Claims they slipped him a jab that actually worked, so he could have played during COVID.

Seems somehow appropriate to ask here:

If a male player uses up his NCAA eligibility, but then "transitions" into a "female" athlete... has he used up his eligibility for women's sports? :confused:

Oh Lord, to live again in a time when some questions were just stupid and silly.

I hate the idea of men ruining women's sports


You asked a dumb question.

From all reports and social media, Rashada was a great teammate and was in no way a problem. His parents were vocal supporters of the team all season. Yeah the transfers look bad, but I’m not sure if that’s me being old school or because there’s something up with Rashada. In this era, there might just be guys who transfer like this.

Five schools in less than 3 years is ridiculous.

Probably kicking himself for leaving Florida and missing out on that Gasparilla Bowl championship and all the sweet momentum flowing through Gainesville right now

Right? I’m just wondering if these things will become more common and we’ll get used to it.

I think the best path to a football career is to get to a good school, develop, and go to the NFL. A transfer often happens if coaches leave or a player gets blocked on the depth chart over the course of years. But there is another school of thought that says you should get to the best school you can every year to try to get on the field. Transfer as much as you want.

Are there players who have transferred multiple times and been successful?

Dillon Gabriel.

I know you're talking about multiple transfers, but out of the last 8 Heisman winners only 2 of them didn't transfer (DeVonta Smith and Bryce Young).

The Portal & NIL got everybody acting fidgety. Kids can now go and come as freely as the coaches. One coach can be on a different team every year. Doesn't even warrant an article on sports illustrated. Movement is normal. Seeking better opportunities & higher pay is normal. Now, normalize the actual on field product having the same freedoms.

That’s a great example.

The transfer Heisman thing is (I think) mostly tied to QBs transferring the most and QBs winning the Heisman the most. Transferring at QB makes a lot of sense—but I wonder if there is such a thing as too many transfers for one guy.

No, he will scam enough money out of rubes that he will never have to have a real job his entire life.....then blow it all.

Tyler Baron was reasonably good at Miami this year.

One big difference is the coaches have contracts with buyouts written into them, which can discourage hopping around every single year like the players are doing or threatening to do now. The buyout in his contract is possibly the only reason CRB is here today and not coaching basketball at UCLA.

That's my point and it really imo undermines the notion of team or being a fan. I have to wait every year now until August to even know who is on the team this year.
