“Missing the deadline for drop/add doesn’t necessarily mean that Rashada won’t or can’t enroll at Florida. The University of Florida could make an exception for Rashada and allow him to enroll in classes and begin next week or for the summer.”
So many people would be extra mad at the special treatment.

I'm still baffled every time I hear this "Miami came in out of nowhere" narrative from Gator fans. Do they just not even look at the history of his recruitment? Like at all? He was basically on commit-watch to Miami months before Florida was in the picture. I'm not even saying that in a Miami >> UF way. It's just how his recruitment went.

He did. But also supported Rashada’s position. 247 is all out shaming UF so they come up with the money promised. It reminded me of Herbstreit’s diatribe about Miami - we all know what that did. Supposedly UF can “stretch” the enrollment to Monday somehow. 247 WANTS Rashada at UF.
I worked in UF admissions, that's almost NEVER allowed. That's a huge concession being made for an athlete when other VIPs kids were wait listed or denied.
 
The contract was with the Gator Collective ... it has NO assets ... it is a pass through from the various booster groups created to fund the different NIL programs (football, baseball, basketball etc ... different groups fund each sport). It is operated by a Gator alum who is an NIL attorney and reportedly more than a casual consumer of alcoholic beverages!!

Is it really the case the GC has no assets or income? Is it a new entity (created to support UF NIL deals), or has it been operating previously as a booster club?

If it truly is a brand new entity with no money coming into its bank accounts and/or no history of previous revenues from dues, etc I could imagine some problems for the founders.

Presumably GC is organized and limited liability entity. But there are still things required in order to preserve the corporate form, including minimum capitalization requirements. In other words, you or I can't go form Canes Collective LLC, put no money in it, and turn around tomorrow and enter into a $13MM contract that we don't financially fulfill, without exposing ourselves to personal liability for the breach of contract.

I don't know if this is the situation for GC, but if they are brand new entity, with no money/capital and they entered into a $13MM contract that they can't honor...that's potentially a big problem for the founders.

Modern day panhandling.
Nah. Panhandling is begging for money. This dude is literally saying he’s open to endorsing a product for money. Huge difference. Especially since he likely doesn’t have an agent to set up deals for him.

Look, that's a bunch of on3 bull****. Nobody is saying he can't enroll at Florida EVENTUALLY, just that he missed the deadline FOR SPRING SEMESTER.

The part of the sentence that says UF could make an exception for Rashada and allow him to enroll "and begin next week"? How? On what planet? That might pose a problem both from the NCAA standpoint and the college accreditation standpoint. Neither governing body is going to be very happy to see the "flagship" state university bending its rules for ONE PERSON, just so they can enjoy some football recruiting success. The NCAA's expectation is that each university apply its rules equally, not just to make random exceptions whenever it suits them.

And what are the grounds for such an exception? Rashada was IN FLORIDA two weeks before enrollment. There were no blizzards in Florida. There is ample public record showing that Rashada voluntarily returned to California over a dispute NOT involving the University of Florida itself (NIL is separate). There were no problems with Rashada's financial aid, he has a full ride. So what in God's name would UiF use as justification for "making an exception"?

Now, summer enrollment is different. If everyone wants to ride with that, fine. And, as a California resident, Rashada COULD even get paid before his enrollment, assuming of course that the NCAA eventually finds that these collectives are legal and making valid payments (would NOT have been a problem with LifeWallet).

Good luck, Rashada family, you're going to need it.

Well. On3 Gator board claiming deadline is 11:59pm.


Who in the registrar's office is going to be working at 11:59 pm?

Who am I kidding, this is Hogtown, some UiF employee will be in the office working out of fear of reprisal from Gaytor fans, just like that impound lot owner who was threatened by Gaytor fans and intimidated into not pressing charges when that Gaytor football player illegally went into the impound and "took back" his car without paying the fine.

Correct they might make an exception with justification for a kid recovering from cancer, not for a kid that is going to be a cancer to the school

The minute they make an exception for him they have to make one for every student or else you allowing an impermissible benefit
