I think they're ****ed this year in recruiting. That said, if they reconstitute, they could recover of the NIL front for '24.

I hope they don't, and I hope we negative-recruit the living **** out of this.

Regardless, Bagway ain't going there.

I don’t see how they recover for 24. This is going to linger. They’re not going to show much on the field either.

7 stages of grief ...

• Shock
• Denial
• Anger
• Bargaining
• Depression
• Acceptance and hope
• Processing grief

... This will be the gift that keeps giving

Are there Gators in denial?

 

[DamnLiesAndStatistics]

I would say this...

If Rashada flipped on Miami and repaid Miami...fair...

Thus, if Rashada backs out on Florida, I could see where repayment is fair...

BUT...

The keys are:

1. Was any money to be paid UPON SIGNING AN NIL? If so, Rashada wins, Collective is screwed.
2. Was any money paid BEFORE the NIL was repudiated by Eddie? If so, Rashada wins, Collective is screwed.

Hard to predict without seeing the actual contract, but I could understand a generalized feeling (by the Rashadas) as to "why should we give any money back, they are the ones that breached the contract".

Agree with your final sentence. Rashadas breached LW NIL contract, so they should repay any funds given. GC breached contract with Rashada, so I doubt Rashada owes anything back. If anything, Rashada should be entitled to damages as his NIL value is now lower.

Bagway…no way!

Now, maybe he takes a visit or two to that small, private school in Coral Gables….

There’s nothing positive to spin. It’s a bad situation for the gator. The guys on campus who got paid, are guys who have already been there and it’s only the first year of NIL. This Rashada thing is going to affect you going forward in recruiting with other players.

Worse, Heitner was talking about hypothetical legal theories which could be employed against those who made promises. So Hathcock and the gator Guard??? How’s that gonna work out well for you?

This is a great point, on a couple of levels. First, it is proof to other donors that GC can "write a blank check" that donors are expected to cover, no questions asked, regardless of whether you think it is money well spent. Second, if you do have second thoughts, will you be sued?

Bad, bad juju...

Northern just needs to become a UM fan and join this board. He would be CIS's Next Top Moper...

 

[flagator86]

Thinking this isn’t going to effect your recruiting going forward is crazy.

It’s like a judge telling a jury to forget that the defense/prosecutor just made 10 great points and now they are to strike that from the trial and they’re just supposed to forget it was said…they aren’t gonna forget it was said.

All kids ,especially the top ones that are in line for a 7 figure deal are going to remember is that you guys reneged on the one huge deal you were giving out.

Like i said, time will tell.

 

[SpikeUM]

Who are they Spike?

In addition to Rashada, its mustard, Wilson and Hill.

@TheOriginalCane @wspcane

I was thinking about taxes, like I often do; if Rashada was supposed to repay LW for reneging on the deal, and instead the GC paid it, is that phantom income?

 

[flagator86]

@RVACane

boy this about to spark a whole days worth of talk with my fellow Gator fans about Howard going to Ole Miss and now this….

Like i said, time will tell.

Time will tell if I become 6’3”.

I’m a full grown adult and have been 5’11” for the last 10 years, but time will tell.

Satisfaction of debt is still income. But in theory his net pay from it should be $0.

Eugene Wilson didn’t sign yet?

 

[SpikeUM]

Signed didnt enroll.

I agree, a really confusing situation though.....

This is how you differentiate a Canes site from a **** site, a **** would be referring to his manhood size (and exaggerating it by several inches!).

 

[flagator86]

There are four 4 stars that signed that didnt enroll. Future tears?

Wilson and Dijon been said they would summer enrollees though

Absolutely. And one of the reasons Ruiz and LifeWallet's set up is good for all parties. They are likely withholding taxes on the front end, or at least if the players are smart they are. But of course the media would rather play the lazy narrative that he is the villain of NIL. The guy making players actually use their NIL in marketing, come in once a week instead of getting a handout, have the chance to learn about how a company is run.
