    13.85 million contract for qb at UF??????!!!

    https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/...eled-nil-deal/

    jACKSONVILLE, Fla.
    – A top-ranked quarterback from the 2023 recruiting class is suing Florida Gators Head Coach Billy Napier and a University of Florida booster alleging fraud.

    In a seven-count complaint filed on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Pensacola, Jaden Rashada accused Napier and the Gator boosters, led by automotive technology entrepreneur Hugh Hathcock, of fraudulent misrepresentation and inducement, aiding and abetting fraud, civil conspiracy to commit fraud, negligent misrepresentations, tortious inference with a business relationship or contract, aiding and abetting tortious interference and vicarious liability. The complaint seeks a jury trial and damages of at least $10 million.

    For a guy with underwhelming numbers in a small sample size last year at Az St....what a joke and I couldn't care less if he gets a penny in the lawsuit.

    Used to be a huge college football fan but my interest has fallen off the past few years and things are only getting worse. NIL and the transfer portal have ruined college sports, they are professional sports now. Still enjoy it but not nearly as much as before all this nonsense.

    Players deserved to get something but it has spiraled completely out of control and is the wild wild west with the NIL payments and transfer portal.

    It’s out of control already and eventually will blow up. If you are a booster or alumni- what do you really get out of this? A million dollars or more for a QB every single year who is an eternal free agent? Bragging rights for a season? I don’t know. Like anything- people and brands will start to ask if this is worth it. The coaches, schools, boosters and fans only have themselves to blame. Some of these guys live and die by their college football teams results. lol

    The NCAA/Schools need to be the booster/funding source based on true football revenue with a recruitment NIL cap by program. Hard to manage the handlers of these kids with their hands out too. Never mind the kid in question went to how many high schools and now with his 4th college program commitment?!

    If NCAAF is gonna adapt the pro model then they might as well start signing players for "x" number of years so they cannot transfer on a whim.
