Please let this be true.

I still think the lizards win 6 or 7, but the games against the biglies (UGA, LSU, Tennessee) could be ridiculously ugly.

The key games for them will be:
Souf Carolina (USCe):  L
Misery: L
R-kansas: L
Kentucky:  L

FIFY

Florida fans not happy with me making fun of UF for not educating players on NIL. This is a bad look how does a player sign a deal this stupid. LolView attachment 254524

Holy ****

@TheOriginalCane @Canesfreak Correct me if I am wrong, but:

NIL is for services rendered to a company in the current year, so that 15% of future earnings in his contract is an NCAA violation? Also, doesnt each school approve NIL contracts?

 

[mirvin88]

Could’ve sworn UF talking heads have been talking **** about other NIL dealings and they were experts. Nobody took a look at that contract for Gervon?

FIFY

TN could put up some points, but I never trust Smoky in that game.

The QB gurus on the board like @Lance Roffers could opine, but Bazooka Joe can absolutely launch a ball. It's downright funny to watch.

Is this an NIL deal or a payday loan?

Basically they gave him 400k for him to pay them 1M. These kids need to pay for an hour of legal advice and have a lawyer read their nil contacts.

I hear John Ruiz is looking for cases…

There are actually a couple of interesting things in there.

First, I'm not sure if the issue is "current year" vs. "future earnings", as much as it is the TYPE of earnings. In this case, Gervon Dexter was advanced money that SHOULD be for NIL type income (autograph signings, endorsements, licensing arrangements, etc.), yet the company seems to be claiming the money paid for his athletic services rendered. And the initial purpose of the NIL rules was to keep those income streams SEPARATE.

The second thing that is interesting is that the name of the company itself includes the words "Advance Fund". So this seems to be a similar type thing as what happened with Nico at Tennessee, where he was given upfront NIL money that allowed the company he signed with to own and monetize his future NIL opportunities. To me, what seems like a big problem with THIS approach is touched on in your last question, about whether the schools approve NIL contracts. Because EVEN IF an "advance" contract was approved, how does anyone know what the company will do with NIL in the future.

It's weird. Very weird. And there are so many layers of problems and potential problems.

I find it hard to believe that a court will find in favor of the Advance Fund. Regardless of what "some people" on this board try to tell us about "IRREVOCABLE" contracts, and how "ironclad" they are.

I just hope UF somehow gets a **** storm over this.

NIL’s absolutely have to approved by the schools compliance department. They also review each of the edits that the 2 athletes we have NILs with post in advance.

Only an absolute idiot or someone who has absolutely zero hopes of being in the NFL over a year or two would sign something this dumb

Kids at that age are naive and are easy targets for more experienced and savvy people. He probably saw the amount that would be advanced to him and jumped at it.

Or someone who went to UF, which is a synonym of the first point.

That is beyond unconscionable. Whomever is behind that fund should be exposed. The NFL PA prohibits agent fees in excess of 3%. Those are mafia terms.

Its 25 year deal if he lasts he would owe much more.

Not sure I’ve seen a player that has the ball explode off his hand quite like him.

Tons of development in the most important aspects of playing QB, but the range of outcomes for him is expanded due to that arm.

Gaytors never play more than 1 year in the NFL anyways....
