    In this hypothetical, I'd say for life. That seems to be what happens to the "student-athletes"

    It's called moral hazard. As long as there aren't any consequences for saying one thing and doing another, it WILL manifest.

    I’m surely a Gator partisan alumnus/fan, but if a kid doesn’t want to play at UF, don’t come or leave and stop wasting our time.

    If there is a time limit…for example, nba talent may only stay in college for 1 year…than I would consider my price in the low millions. If a lifetime? Would have to be bazillions.

    I was a prof at UF and the question was once posed to me about how much it would take for me to give a grade that wasn't deserved.

    My response was I would consider ten times the amount for me to live the life I would like to become accustomed to but that is still not enough. I'd rather be poor.

    You have integrity, something that is in short supply.

    I can't say for absolute certainty that hell exists, but I DO know that purgatory exists.


    See Gator football, post-Meyer...

    I have purposely ignored the whole NIL thing. How common is it for HS kids to have agents nowadays? This is just a strange 180 from how things were only a few years ago, when college kids were not permitted to have agents. Now the HS kids have 'em. o_O

    This would be a good opportunity for the NCAA to install a rule that no college team may sign or keep a player that has an agent, either as a collegian or as a high schooler.
    Such a rule would most likely be challenged right away and thrown out in court, but we won't know until it's tried. At least it would buy time and piss off a lot of agents.

    How about, if you sign with a team and then decide to leave, you sit out one season. If you sign and never suit up for a team, you sit out two years. And if the HC leaves between 0 and 1-2 years, you get to leave immediately without penalty.

    Guys need to use their brains from now on. It is ridiculous.

    And at the end of the day, it appears he went to the place where his NIL agent could get the biggest score
