    Guessing based on on3. They currently have his NIL value at $315k but with the commitment it’s probably closer to a million.

    He was trying to build them a stadium, so far he couldn't get the permits from the city to build where he wanted.

    NIL deals should be spread out over 4-5 years so a player won’t just take all their money and run.

    But at least we play in a big time conference, have beautiful facilities, a 90,000 seat stadium of our own on campus and definitely more than 100 fans showing up for games...even when we played Eastern Washington..we have a ton more tradition and besides we have a cool mascot and beautiful colors too ;)

    John Ruiz is trying to single-handedly ruin college football, and he’s well on his way, sadly. This is straight up enticement to $ign, period. Something the worthless NC2A said was not going to be allowed. What balderdash!

    That’s what happends when you are too confident! That’s why I’m always cautious ! Learn this now so you won’t get blasted in the future. Too many little things bothered me here .

    Yeah. I don't expect anything anymore. I'd rather not give them the satisfaction of complaining about it but that picture isn't representative of a "classy" move.

    From now on when Florida is considered a “lock” for a kid that they’re in a battle with Miami for I’ll assume the insider info is wrong and expect them to sign with Miami - it’s happened multiple times already with Cristobal as their HC.

    I guess Cormani watched them get blown out by Middle Tennessee State in front of all 20 of their fans and said to himself “I’ve gotta play here.” What a joke, Mario is the worst HC in college football and it’s not even close. Why would you want to play for him if you actually have aspirations of being developed?

    Me and my pops sitting here drinking a beer talking about this.
    I was raised a Gator. If I were a 4 star tight end in ‘99 when I graduated HS and the rules were as they are now, and if Ohio State (hate that team) offered me $200k plus a full ride and UF offered me $50k, it would then just be a business decision. I’d have to go north. If we all step back from it this is an easy decision. And I came from a middle class family who was able to help me through school here and there if needed.
    I’d still always be a gator though :cool:

    We can’t blame these kids. It’s the system now. Don’t hate the player.
    And………. Therefore, we can’t really blame coaches who are trying like Billy. Someone has to authorize the check. It ain’t like Man Dullen is out there recruiting for us anymore

    I'm not gonna kick and scream and give them the satisfaction. You could call it sour grapes but I know that this is their fan base and that is their coaching staff. It is what it is. They are starting from a worse off place than aTm and look where this kind of stuff has gotten them. I'm not worried
