    Yeah, it was rumored to be a mess. I don't know how, or why, but still a mess.

    This is why this NIL thing stinks. No rules.

    It seems that the NCAA is now trying to make some rules.

    Curiously, only against Florida schools.

    The NCAA busted FSU because a coach was involved. That is probably what they are looking for.

    I think it is Rashada and his family that are spilling the beans, and most likely fingering one or more of our coaches.

    If true, we need to clean house. No room for cheating at UF

    The entity involved with Rashada is not a university entity... it's a private collective.

    Can't wait to crush Miami in Gainesville next year... POS program.

    They must know that the Gators will never agree to let them into the SEC Conference. LMFAO! :eek::D;)

    It was all 3rd party & 0 to do with UF coaches. Everyone involved was already cleaned out of the collective. This "investigation" is a croc of shit as Rashada left & that whole collective is gone.

    You’ve been around long enough to not be puzzled Clay. There are those who can do certain things and there are those who cannot. We are in the latter pool and have been for 50 years.

    Just go past the headlines into the details and ask yourself why Charlie Pell was never allowed to coach again?

    UF and the AAU needs to grow a pair and tell the toothless tigers known as the NCAA to go pound sand. Time to lawyer up and expose these fools. Let me provide the court with the following:
    Exhibit one: 2023 national championship winning team was caught cheating during the season, and was not banned from post season play. Reason? Money.
    Exhibit two: Texas A&M with a coach on the hot seat puts together one of the all time best recruiting classes, and they don’t even suspect that something is going on? Reason:said school has lots of money.
    Exhibit three: Said governing body reluctantly agrees to allow student athletes to be compensated by advertisers for use of their name, image and likeness after over a hundred years of saying no, then provides little guidance or rules. Also, it has no enforcement authority to police those guidelines. The entire thing blows up in their faces and devolves into “associations” buying players and yet, nothing. Reason? Said governing body is afraid to lose its take of the money.
    Exhibit four: the portal. This is just unregulated free agency without any contracts, consequences for breach of contract, or regulation (again).
    We could go on all day. Time to step up like other universities have and privately tell them to get lost this time or we will rake up the muck.

    I think the penalty will be to vacate 2-3 of our losses in 2023.

    So, Florida is under investigation for doing what most internet message board posting Gator fans say that every other team in America does but Florida never does and that puts Florida at a recruiting disadvantage. Just to be clear? Also I am asking for a friend. And please respect the process and decision. Gator for Life.

    I think his primary problem is he was getting pulled like a taffy by his parent(s) and handlers.

  20. NCAA bylaws are worded vaguely enough where anything can happen. I am not a lawyer, but I could see NCAA levying Level 3 violations against UF for Eddie Rojas’ and Ivan Heitner’s role in the Gator Collective allegedly signing a contract with Jaden Rashada and his father before early signing day. Florida Victorious distanced themselves from Gator Collective early last year as Gator Collective and Gator Guard closed down. It will be interesting to see if Miami’s John Ruiz gets caught up in the investigation as well as a means to determine whether Florida gained an advantage in not signing Rashada…if that makes any sense. What I am hoping is that we find out whether Gator Collective really offered $13M over four years. That is way overpriced.
