    It’s hilarious Edgar Thompson (Orlando Sentinel) is on this podcast. This fool, along with a drunk sounding Mike Bianchi, are the ones spouting all the $13 million bs early in the week, reporting like it’s the gospel.
    Total hacks. They should be sued imo.

    We’ve been throwing around the word “absurd” in reference to $13 million — but what’s the most absurd is this messed up system that’s designed to keep coaches in the dark.

    I’m a lot more inclined to believe in conspiracy than coincidence — and the fact that this all started between Ruiz and Rashada leads me to suspect that Ruiz is behind all of what is happening in front of us. I imagine that bastard knows the ins and outs of this new cesspool better than anybody else, and look how easy it is now to interfere with another team that you hate obsessively

    Not going to accuse Ruiz, as I do not have any details.

    But this explanation is just as likely as any other one out there.

    If the HC, UAA, and university have no control, and the NCAA has provided no oversight and no enforcement, ANYTHING is possible.

    That plus the open and blatant poaching . . . which is STEALING players actively practicing and playing for another team. Zero consequences so no cost and you may steal the player. This system is headed over the cliff and things could get really ugly really quickly. The NCAA is impotent. Next up: Conferences.

    UF's name getting dragged through the mud in the national press reminds me of the Shizzshow that occurred at UT a few years ago with Coaches Schiano, Leach, and finally Coach Beldar who they ultimately hired.

    If the NCAA wishes to continue existing, bringing back the transfer rule is the only way to stop this. Boosters aren’t gonna pay a guy riding the pine for a year.

    Problem is the NCAA will get taken to court and lose.

    These days any type of restrictive move gets taken down in court.

    Everyone please pay attention: This story and On3 and 247 being the SOURCE of "information" that others can run with and keep their skirts clean regarding a possible libel/defamation lawsuit (just rewording and repeating what has already been "reported" elsewhere) may indicate to some why it's NOT best to rush and publish RUMORS first. Those clicks could be very expensive indeed.

    The ncaa is only a body made up of the teams themselves. Big schools are the ones generating the cash and governing themselves. The Vandy’s of the world sit down and shut up and take their 60 mil check at the end of the year. Why rock the boat?

    We actually have no idea who is better or more ready. All we know is one is older and attended a year of college.

    It sounds like you're describing some idiotic comedy routine starring two total momos vying for the asshat of the year award. A pox on both on both of those tools. UF should revoke Edgar's press credentials at the very least. And if there's a case to be made in court, UF should sue the living hell out of them, their employers and the merry band of liars and ego monkeys at On3 - starting with Josh Pate.

    Can we combine all these threads on this topic so we can get to page 136?

    Asking for a friend.

    Bottom line… associating football with education is outdated. The NFL needs to create its own minor league system.

    A genuine question: He wants to be paid $$$$$ before he will enroll in school. How is this not inducement? It appears to be a classic case of it, imho.

    That costs money. They have their development league, and it’s paid for by colleges and booster clubs.

    I’d sue everyone who ran with the unverified info. They’re actively besmirching UF, Napier, etc.
