Let's clear this up once again.....YOU don't want to compete like Bama and UGA. NIL is paid by fans like YOU, if UF can't afford a player the fault lies with YOU. So why are you on here complaining about your own actions? It's rather bizarre. "Thank goodness for Todd." This is just classic.....Todd just let one of his 5 projected starters leave for a huge rival for the exact same reason, kid wanted more money than our budget allowed. But football let a backup leave for exorbitant demands and you lose it. Hopefully the spouse is handling your household finances.
As we all suspected....you contribute nothing to NIL and can't provide any reasonable response to the facts. One more question....was Texas not serious about football when they let this same kid walk and go to UF?
Your response to a .500 coach losing key pieces that make his team better is “it’s the fans fault.” Fans that spend thousands of dollars to bring there family to games and purchase merchandise. Your response isn’t a serious response. You’re playing a game because you want to protect Billy. That’s cool he’ll be gone soon, and hopefully you leave with him. Enjoy your sanctimonious message board posting. Hope you feel like you matter.
I do matter because I contribute to NIL, and buy 4 season tickets bringing family and friends to every game. It's pretty clear you don't. The lack of serious discussion falls upon you. You're inability to grasp the dynamics of the situation is somewhat baffling.....not once have you even attempted to intelligently address the actual issues at hand relative to NIL, the budgeting process, the domino effect for the roster, etc. This has nothing to do with Napier's coaching ability. He got the kid here and appeared to be developing him. It would appear this whole little fit you are pitching is related to not liking Napier. This isn't on him no matter how much you want it to be. It's on YOU
That's only what will be paid through the school and I don't think any top teams are on a $15 million budget. Theres a rumor that Kentucky spending more than that on basketball alone
Hey chill out. We support whatever coach is coaching our boys on this team. If it is not Billy in the near future, then it will be someone else. Telling someone to leave the fanbase because you have a disagreement is pretty petty. This kid is going to leave because he has the freedom to. Money is driving NIL and that is fine. I would rather keep kids who want to play for a team and not a check. It will all work out. SMH
We fans that spend thousands of dollars going to games do not spend millions of dollars to pay players
And some of those guys carrying the bulk of the load are disgusted by fans that have the nerve to complain. Just wait till a guy like Condron gets fed up and then we'll see what our roster looks like.
Those boosters, dropping all that Cash have every right to slap the shit out of anybody complaining about how much money they're spending
It's crazy when you think about it. Guy busts his ass to earn a nice living for himself and family....then because of his dedication to his school, gives millions every year to some kid that may or may not be productive/be a good kid/even stay at UF. Gets nothing in return. And then some entitled fan calls them cheap because it's not enough. Definition of insanity
Maybe we can create an ultra special VIP forum where you can only post if you show a receipt of your NIL donation. NIL donors can post anything they want, while those of us on the free board are restricted to choosing from a series of pre-written phrases like we're leaving multiplayer messages in Dark Souls.
You’re free to criticize, critique, and complain, but other members are allowed to do the same. When you’re not contributing enough to buy a single player, it’s pretty shitty to call the guys carrying the weight for the entire athletic dept cheap. These guys are dumping 10’s of millions of dollars into the teams we love, and instead of being appreciative, you have people that constantly complain that they aren’t doing enough, while they themselves do pretty much nothing.
Sorry, but if the average fan is expected to pay for these exorbitant salaries, count me out as a fan. I am an alumni and I love the gators but I have other family responsibilities before I pay some teenager part of a million dollar salary to play football. These schools earn hundreds of millions from merchandise and ticket sales. The whole system is flawed.
You’re not required to fund the deals to be a fan, but please be appreciative of those who are donating millions to keep our teams afloat, and don’t call them cheap.
Well, if you want to bellyache how others spend their money on NIL and you spend $0 on NIL, you kinda open yourself up for review.
