I am super confused about this alleged UF poverty. I say it doesn't exist. If you have lived here for as long as I do you know there are tons of rich UF alumni in this state. if you have been watching UF football for as long as I have you also know the Bull Gators are a pretty powerful and rich booster group. I have a hard time believing they are not a player in NIL or losing players because of it. I think it might be a little more nuanced or maybe just flat out about their staff sucking. I think NIL and money are going to be the new excuse for failure on the recruiting trail.

This is just a savage, savage move by Mario. He saw Gapier's open letter, laughed his a$$ off, then tweeted our his short "letter" to the fans to further clown Gapier and UiF. Ruthless, and I absolutely love it.

This is so wild. Gapier's vision statement letter wreaks of desperation and damage control....7 months in! If he wants to write that word salad as soon as he started, fine, no big deal. But to write it right after a big recruit battle? Lawd lol Bad look and he is starting to dig his grave.

The funny thing is this panic is largely around Rashada and I don’t think he ever really wanted to go to Florida. He strikes way more as bright lights, big city than rural SEC. Sometimes, that works against us the other way. But, not on this one and I can’t believe they weren’t at least somewhat aware that this scenario was very likely.

They are of the single minded belief nothing matters but the $$ and playing in the SEC
 
BIlly's open letter:

Dear diary. What have I gotten myself into? Everyone at Louisiana loved me, I was the king of the Sun Belt and 3 star players were good enough for everyone. Now I'm in Gainesville and everyone hates me. Mario Cristobal bullies me on the daily and I can't get a single blue chip player to play for me. I don't get it! Hopefully, the administration buys me out and I can go back to G5 bliss in a borderline D1 conference. Believe me when I tell you, the grass isn't always greener in the SEC.

Love,
Little Willy Billy.

Man, I’d hate to have to take Vanderbilt, Missouri’s, and South Carolina’s best shot on a weekly basis. Imagine getting the gators’ best shot. Whatever would any team not in the SEC do?

Man talk about the SEC this and that, and a team like Tennessee can go almost 2 decades without even getting close to beating Bama. Them man act like they don't have Vandy and Miss St and Mizzou. These so called oh they can upset you. Yet they never do any upsetting. When they get smashed but OOC teams, oh its just Mizzou.

In total stated dollars, very possibly. In net present value, I would not be so sure.

I'll give an overly simplistic example, JUST for the math.

Let's say School #1 offers to pay a kid $1M in Y1, $2M in Y2, $3M in Y3, and $4M in Y4, for a total of $10M.

Let's say School #2 offers $3M in Y1, $2M in Y2, $1M in Y3, and $1M in Y4, for a total of $7M.

However, School #2's deal pays the same Y1-Y3 amount, but FASTER. And if a player thinks he will go pro after Y3 (or transfer at any point), then Y4 is completely speculative. If the player transfers after 2 years, School #2 has paid him $5M, while School #1 has only paid him $3M.

So, yes, there are several reasons why "advertised total contract value" is not the only thing to look at, same as NFL contracts with "voidable years" and whatnot.

Hope that helps.

You know what, I never looked at it this way and would 100% take the second offer.
