    Has to blow up first before the Big 2 takes over and comes up with some ground rules to keep the order.

    He could have had a final scheduled the same time as the meeting


    Nevermind, just looked it up. Finals are scheduled 9th-15th

    Many UF students are already home for break. Most "finals" have been taken or the work can be turned in online.

    Pretty soon our punter may be the only guy not in the portal. I cant wait to see kids not want to graduate and take a lesser paycheck from the NFL. How much money will NIL deals eventually get to?

    I love what Texas tech did- every player gets the same and you have to do community service

    A Reddit comment about Princely, which makes a lot of sense to me:

    Just because you enter the portal doesnt mean you have to go anywhere. Being in the portal allows you to field NIL offers. He can compare those offers to his projected draft positions value and the likelihood he raises that position

    Honestly it's good business sense and youll probably see more players who would've just opted for the draft in the past just trying the portal first. There is no real negative to doing it

    Say you're not a surefire top 10 pick but youre late 1st early 2nd. You can make a lot of NIL money and maybe raise your grade. If the offers arent there you can just get drafted in the end anyway

    We are probably in the best position if we really want to bid on keeping him but the NIL money is probably better used elsewhere

    Good point. Him entering the portal made me forget I’d already penciled him in to declare for the draft. He’s definitely a loss, but one we likely should have been planning for.
