Yeah but careful what you wish for. You know the very next question will be, "Have any other schools made similar offers similar to UF?" You don't think dad Rashada will be like "Yeah we originally agreed to UM's offer, but then UF came back with a better one"?

He agreed to a NIL endorsement deal with Life Wallet, not Miami. Then he did not honor his contract and it was voided.

Great legal assessment.
Civil case is all about damages and that equates to what others were willing to pay. If Rashada turned down offer A because of offer B, and offer B fails to materialize he has a claim. It‘s not an easy claim because he didn’t have to accept offer B and there is some caveat emptor (buyer beware) defense.

But think about how that would work publicly. UF would have to argue that it was Rashada’s fault for believing UF’s offer was legit.
Can you imagine a worse argument to make for public perception, even if it did work in court?

****, you took my points and improved them with a rock-solid foundation. Very nice.

Yeah, I think that Florida is in an untenable position here, and their only trump card is "but we control whether you can enroll and play THIS semester". And for a kid who might want a shot at true-freshman playing time, spring practice is BIG. Not to mention...the time value of NIL money...

I think it was a famous (former) Gainesville resident who once said...

Tbh Mario was about over all of this before he committed to UM. Dealing with their camp had Miami prepared to walk away a month or two before he popped.

So Cribby, sounds like there would be no way Mario would take him back, correct?
Thanks,

All right now you legal whizbangs, does promissory estoppel have any role here. In other words, the promise of Florida prevented him, or caused him, to give up the other thing in Miami.

I think we’d need to know exactly what was said and accepted and the mindsets and conditions but on its surface, yeah, if he signed a Miami deal and walked because they promised more and he accepted the terms. That’s the rub here though. What were the terms - like was there a meeting of the minds on up front money and the gator straight up welched on it??? That would be problematic.

More importantly, would the Gaytors have a strong case for arguing that Eddie was too drunk to enter into a legally binding contract?
