The thing that's comical about UiF "logic" isn't only their predictably lazy default to "Miami overpaid" but that they're so delusional that they think they somehow as a "poor" get to be the arbiters of fair market value.

There ain't no salary cap and they obviously have no idea how deep our (Life)wallet is or any other school's NIL war chest is for that matter.

The only arbiters of "overpayment" are those that know how much money a program has to allocate overall and what share they just gave a kid. Otherwise it's basically like the Pittsburgh Pirates yelling that the Los Angeles Dodgers "overpaid" for a player.

It's so funny that you mention the Pittsburgh Pirates, that's exactly the team that I thought of yesterday when I was thinking about market value and the willingness to spend to it.

Baseball has a LUXURY TAX. The teams that spend a lot have to pay it, and the money goes to the poors. And some of them (the Pirates) don't even bother to spend that money on the roster.

So, yeah, why should I be concerned that a bunch of arrogant Gaytors are snorting at what Darrell Jackson is "worth" in their view. Doesn't matter. We have him now, they don't.

Maybe we can settle this question in 2024.

Exactly. OT but the reason I made the reference too is because I'm a long-suffering Pirates fan. Funny you mention the luxury tax because it recently came out (I think via a local newspaper up there) that the Pirates entire season expenditures are covered by ticket sales and concessions alone. So that luxury tax money, the revenue sharing, the tv money, etc all goes into the pocket of the hillbilly billionaire from West Virginia that owns the team.

But I digress. Back to the sweet sweet tears of the hillbilly poors of UiF!

I might think some rich guy overpaid for his Ferrari but who gives a **** what I think?

Hahahaha! This one really cracked me up. Kinda reminded me of a dumb version of some of us that used to wonder why the Rock wouldn't just build us a stadium. Invoking Collinsworth's name was extra hilarious.

That's quite a list. Mike and Maurkice probably lost a sizeable portion of their fortunes donating to the Aaron Hernandez defense fund. Percy? Who knows? But he did chokeslam a coach during practice while a student-athlete at the flagship - I know Urb was willing to forgive and forget, but maybe there are some bridges that were sufficiently scorched as a result of that incident.

And - we know what Mike Miller is doing. Trying to teach his pet Macaque how to ride a Great Dane like a horse. I don't know about anyone else, but to me, that sort of show would keep me planted in my seat during halftime of a Heat game. Total windfall if he can work out the kinks. I can only guess here, but work of that nature has to keep a man rather busy - too busy to donate to the gator guard, even.
 
I'm loving all of the overpayment comments...

There is no salary cap
There is essentially no market price set for any position given how new this is
There is no concrete reporting on what payers are being paid, only hearsay

Just a bunch of morons trying to cope with reality

Neither really make more sense. I think both are likely scenarios. Its not like owning a couple CFAs is some sort of massive success story that is that hard to believe.
