I think what we read is likely how the contracts are drawn up, or were at that time. The numbers may have been what he was offered or what he countered. I don’t know. I don’t think the suit listed a dollar amount, but don’t remember. The suit isn’t about forcing “us” to sign the contract. It’s about having someone in the middle of the deal who shouldn’t have been there, and negotiating in bad faith. At the time this contract was drawn up, Billy and UF were not allowed to be involved. What is being is alleged is that Billy blew up the deal.
And billy would have had to be very clumsy to have incriminated himself unless we had a turncoat. I wouldnt doubt that billy said wtf, that kid obviously isnt that good.
The system was never the problem with respect to Bama and the other cheaters... that was all on the feckless NCAA. The fact that the NCAA would give you the death penalty for paying players on one hand and then just looking the other way with teams like Bama, FSU, UGA, Clemson, Auburn, OSU and others proved that the corruption was in the people and not the system... the people running the system. And the NCAA had the audacity to limit student athletes from even working legitimate jobs... that was a joke. College football will never get better until conferences band together and get rid of the corruption in the NCAA wholesale. That means all of those clowns that are running the NCAA, and running college athletics into the ground.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the NCAA is the colleges...if they wanted a umbrella organization that wasn't corrupt, they would have made it so. They didn't because they are just as corrupted as the organization they belong to.
The top schools control who is in control anyway. All the top schools are guilty and dont throw rocks in a glass house. We just arent on the inside of that corruption it would seem
Yep, that's the one I saw earlier that wasn't signed by the Collective. Good luck to the Rashada's trying to enforce an unsigned contract.
I don't think that's exactly what the lawsuit is about. Tortious interference and negotiating in bad faith are both things that can get you in hot water, and I'm pretty sure that's the basis of the lawsuit. Most people would applaud Billy getting this deal shut down, as would I, but I'm not sure he had the right to do so. If the collective was making offers it knew it would not be able to honor, that's a problem too. I'm not saying either of these things are true. I'm just saying that's what the lawsuit is about, IIRC.
