So not only are they still convincing themselves that Rashada is a martyr of capitalism just because he so badly wants to be a gator (despite literally not enrolling),

but also that this doesn’t make him any worse for the team culture they’re trying to build (because of course, if he “wants” to be a Gator it’s impossible to be a bad culture fit).

Amazing.

This was an issue before the NIL. I told a story a couple years ago about how they were supposed to move a player and his mother to Gainesville. They were also going to bag them. The kid ended up leaving months later because he didn’t get the money or his mom moved up. This is why I always say “ get that **** up front” if you choose UF.

Are you hearing anything new up in your neck of the woods?

I’m sure he ends up there at the end of the day but this is a horrible look for them and I’m sure it’ll hurt recruiting to a certain degree moving forward

My Bull Gator partner has completely lost his mind with the gators replacing AR15 with Mertz. He says that lots of the money guys who were not “in love with” Sunbelt Billy when he was hired are becoming very vocal. He actually said that with all of the portal losses they may start the youngest roster they have in modern times. He is talking about a 3-9 /4-8 season which would be glorious.

Slippery slope my friend…. Is Life Wallet not a legitimate business? Can most influential donors find a legitimate company to donate through? Stop trying to limit or control somebody else’s paper. That’s the problem I have with your statement above. What constitutes a “SUSTAINABLE“ business? GTFOH with that ****. Ford has been around for 100 years so that’s definitely sustainable, but I’d check on Tesla. Those cats only been here for a minute. Not sure if the money they are putting into marketing is sustainable. Where do you draw that line and again WHY DO YOU WANT TO LIMIT ANOTHER MANS EARNING POTENTIAL???

I’m no lawyer, but i define legitimate business as one that has business and would survive without having any skin in the football game. It’s above my pay grade to figure out the way to do it. But I don’t believe the collective model should exist in NIL. It’s not about limiting a persons earnings. If I had my way with collegiate athletics, then every athlete would be getting paid by the university. That’s all I have to say on the matter, get back to enjoying gator tears.

This is nonsense. I don't think the OP is stating that they should limit the earnings but that the source of the NIL earnings come from legitimate on-going organizations. And a legitimate organization is easily discerned.

It also doesn't matter that Tesla has "been around for a minute". The fact is that Tesla is a legitimate business that exists to produce a product for profit. If, how much, and in what way they spend on marketing and promotion resources is a business decision they make based on a cost benefit analysis.

I contrast that with a "collective of fans" that pool their resources for the purpose of inducing an athlete to commit to their school. There is no intent for ongoing operation to produce a profit.
