    hey ajoe - Understood but answer this - what does a "law" or "rule" mean when nobody enforces it? .......... NOTHING?

    I appreciate your information but I see this (law) as nothing more than a brief impediment to a goal by using one of the many B.S. manueuvers that lawyers are paid to find to either hide or circumvent the law. Rich folk ain't got no laws, t$heir only impediment to satisfaction is the price tag to acheive what they want.

    Seriously - How many billonaires and their legion of trollish lawyers do you think will be "arrested" for cheating at college football?

    Please do a thread on it when it happens. I will be waiting, but I am in my 60's so you probably will have nothing by the time I pass at 82 years old.

    Now you may wonder, how do I know I will make 82? I don't, I just know that the family cemetary is full of bodies between the ages of 79 and 82.

    Hard to argue when the flaccid NCAA does nothing and the States do nothing to enforce well known rules.

    How much is the tip for an interception, forced fumble, and knock out hit? Asking for some former UM football players.

    Heitner and Ruiz are both lawyers. Neither is to be trusted.

    That is all I will say.

    Back when Miami was winning championships and paying players a booster used to pay for hits and turnovers. That is what I was trying to jokingly refer to. It could bring out the worst in fans.

    Not as well as taking out the starting QB out of bounds.

    Someone posted a link for that a couple days ago. It makes far more sense than any explanation I’ve read.

    The truth will only be heard as speculation because if the truth were known, folks would be breaking the rules. No one will ever admit one word of the dirt that happened. That’s why we haven’t heard anyone involved speak on it. Who would incriminate themselves. Plausible deniability all the way around. Paying player to come to a school is illegal and that’s what we and every other school is doing.

    Nil the way is being done is illegal but it can’t really be proven. Everyone on earth knows it’s pay to play. Not much different than bags, it’s obvious to almost everyone yet prove it.

    Completely ignorant take:

    He is a friend but is a kindergartener playing in the big kid's sandbox. Most likely no one involved with UF and NIL was prepared for the real wild west. I am not saying we should have been in there bidding up a storm, just that what has transpired looks pretty bad. If you have some real sense, you politely watch the madness instead of finding yourself looking foolish bidding on the used Gucci handbags.
