Wasn’t worth the drama for the Gators when we have a better kid coming in next year who actually wants to be here in DJ Lagway. I never understood the Rashada flip. 

Don't count your chickens before they've hatched. Long way to December.

The Rashada flip, besides writing cheques he couldn't cash, was purely a recruiting momentum play. Napier was getting bodied on the trail and needed a win against Cristobal.

The NCAA is gonna have to figure out some type of framework for this stuff. I'm all for the players getting compensated but it can't be a wild west situation.

 

It was always the wild west.

People are just now seeing how it worked before because it isn't having to be kept secret.

I try not to but Lagway has been a consistent wanting to be a Gator even before Napier and he’s going out of his way to recruit other kids in his class to come to Florida, too. It’s how we got the two WRs. He’s a good kid and without Rashada he has no true competition in front of him when he gets here. He’ll play early.

Well just in the past week they’ve already changed the transferring rule to try and circumvent kids transferring year after year but of course they left some grey area about mental health. 
 

one thing that would help is to 

make all NIL deals public information. Transparency is needed. No NDAs for student athletes. 
 

also, the tampering must be punished and punished severely. USC def tampered with Jordan Addison last year, and Mack alluded to UGA and another SEC school tampering with Josh Downs last off season and of course the rumors about Maye. poo is garbage. Killing the sport. 

It’s already dead lol.

I don’t know anything about this situation but it initially sounds like NIO has gone from kids making a few bucks to kids getting exploited and lured into making big decisions based on a mythical payday.  If they don’t get on top of this soon someone else will.  I can see a stripped down union lite approach coming in.

It’s not heading in the right direction that’s for sure. I think the CFB ratings were the lowest of all time.

I mean dude it’s capitalism. They are marketing themselves and making as much money as possible. If you are a true American and love capitalism you should support the idea of NIL 

however - a lot of these are fraudulent, bogus NIL deals that are just disguised bribe money.

I can’t wait until some ‘3rd tier’ school somewhere saves booster money for 10 years and then cashes it all in at once for all the top recruits.

 

Or some of these schools with deep pockets decide they want to buy a title or two.

LOL. It’s laundered bribe money from friends of the school. Pay for play. Not all of the NIL deals are but what exactly do you call Texas AM or Ohio State boosters offering Drake Maye 4 million dollars pay for play?

It’s all legal. Unlike real bribes and money laundering.

Pay for play is here for good.
