DEEP DIVE: Florida, Billy Napier Update | UF Responds to Jaden Rashada Suing Gators' Head Coach 

The Gators are going to be fine and six months from now the narrative on social media will be..."I always knew Billy Napier was the right guy"...if you are a Gators fan, you dont temper your support based on how good or bad you think the coach is...I support Billy N. 100% because there isnt another option until there is

This will be settled before the first day of trial

It's a money game now. Florida surrounding superstar Lagway with top NIL talent is wiser than blowing 25 million on Napier exit fees plus a talent exodus. Billy gets 4 years.

That Denzel reference was gold.

Rashada is bad news..he is a huge POS in college football

Y’all aren’t gators if you’re shitting on Billy. If you actually look into everything (I’m not a lawyer or anything) but both parties could walk away for any reason in this contract and it will damn sure be hard to prove Billy did all of this just to take the kid away from his deal at Miami which is in fact why they are suing

You guys are not paying attention to the details. Ruiz said Rashada did not have a $9M+ contract with Life Wallet. Rashada may have had some combination of multiple sources from Miami amounting to the $9M+ NIL deal.

This is what happens when you tell a kid he's worth millions and his parents see $$$ kids are buying homes and haven't played a snap in CFB. It's hard to discipline a millionaire he could walk out at any moment

I've read this, and it's not a legally binding contract . I'm an attorney in Jacksonville, Florida . I wish that it was because I'm a Florida St graduate. The parents should've hired an attorney because any attorney would have had this signed and notarized.

If you have listened to some lawyers who have read what he is suing for this case is meant to settle for no where near what people think. This case could take years depending on how far Jaden’s lawyers can go to think they could win in federal court. His contract with UF is not in the court docs. His fight is he lost 9.5M with Miami by choosing Florida and the Billy promised him “1 million”.The problem is Billy didn’t talk to Jayden, he spoke to his father. Florida is a two consent state so any recordings are not admissible in court. He has to prove what Billy said. Good luck with that. The other factor is John Ruiz said no contract with Miami ever existed. This is making Miami being drug through the mud as well. Miami stated no contract which helps UF. If there was Miami would be in trouble as well saying there wasn’t. So no contract helps both parties. Some lawyers think this will settle because if they take it to federal court 1. Jaden has to pay these guys big money on a case they probably won’t win. 2. Jaden will have to be dispose and any lawyer in their right mind won’t allow that. If he testifies and lies, then he is facing charges after that point. Unless there is a contract on paper saying Billy or anyone else said sometbing good luck on proving anything. Whatever this kid may get probably close to half will pay to lawyers. The longer this case goes the more money Jaden will have to pay his lawyers.

Jaden Rashada's father offered me $1,000 to like his post, so since I say he told me that, can I sue?

Napier would be smart to leave after the Miami loss, so the Gators have an excuse when Samford woops them. Lots of players will transfer elsewhere after 2024. Maybe Cormani stays with one of the mass exodus scholarships.

What is happening is this a bad dream! I’ll miss the glory days UF and college football for that matter. Here comes the Guinea pigs to be roasted as teams and coaches fumble through this process and get exposed because politics seems to be more interesting than actual game play now. 🤮

Never thought I would see the day Kentucky Football 🏈 lived in Florida’s head.

He only named Napier because the university has insurance that has limits on payouts

Andy, appreciate your work and approach in general. On this topic why not have an experienced civil suit lawyer on and give him the floor to share his insights into how these cases unfold generally and what the objectives and strategies are. You and Nick are intelligent and solid professionals but this area is not your strength. Just a suggestion….also why not seek insights into the bigger context…ncaa settlement and nil…

"Money" McClain is from lakeland not Orlando. I coached him in rec football

“Awesome, just great Andy” 😭😭😭

Dark cloud for 13 months? How about dark cloud for 13 years.....

This will be settled and NDA’s will be signed.

Why would the Rashada’s sign a contract w/ a clause that it can be terminated at any time? It does seem deceptive/fraudulent in the way that it lured Rashada away from Miami only to not follow through in the end. The lawyer has a good reputation and I don’t think he’d lie about evidence of Napier guaranteeing $1M. As a UF fan, I hope Napier gets fired along with Stricklin. I have so much hate for the UAA.

I disagree….. BN stepping into the SEC was quite a jump ‼️

Each Gator fan to pay the guy $1750 each

I’m gonna be honest I think this needs to happen to show that there should be limits as to what money an nil deal is it shouldn’t be millions of dollars at max if you stay at school for 4 years maybe the kid makes 100k-200k not outrageous numbers that exceed 10 mill so basically if the kid is good he will make 50-75k in a year not like 200-300k in a year

Cristobal won’t have to sell hope when they lose to Fla. They’ll strong off a bunch of wins vs that garbage schedule and the fans will hype up Mia again lol

Would you trade your current NIL deal for what’s behind the third door?

I agree Hathcock should've never tweeted anything. Once he backed out the first time he should've never kept talking about giving any signing bonus money. Walker should've never texted any of those messages acting like he had the money himself. The Gator Collective should've stayed out of it. Instead all those buffoons decided to be the hero and promise a kid $13.85M.

Almost feels like C.D. Went to Florida State instead of Florida

If Miami losses to Fl in Gainesville it won’t be a meltdown for Miamis season granted if We lose to FL it will be a huge disappointment due to the fact the we believe we are WAY better but Miami will still be in contention to win the ACC, Gainesville is not a easy place to go into & Win but I’ll bet the house on Miami week 0 🤝🏾🙌🏾

Sounds like a football merc. Works for the highest payer. I honestly hope this leads to some changes. What if the "collective" sues a kid for breaking his contract, for singing a deal. Then said player transfers to another school?

McClain was cheeks last year. He had poor work ethic. He got torched by Cam Ward at Washington St. 8/8 for 172.

Napier’s job won’t rely on beating Miami. But if he loses he’ll prove he’s not the right HC for Fla. If you can’t beat an ACC team that’s gone 12-13 the past two seasons at home in year 3 of your tenure, not only are you not the guy, you most likely will only have 1 guaranteed win on the schedule (Samford). Mia is no better than the 8th best team on Fla’s schedule. I’ll put them equal with Tamu and Miss St but ahead of Samford and UCF.

Him and his family greed cost them 9.5 from 305 away 🐊 need to be thankful for the vols lawsuit against the ncaa because uf won’t get punished by the ncaa because it’s no rules to go by it’s anarchy right now

Love Billy....Go Cats

this is college football now.............screw all of this bs including all the "schools"

Gonna need more benefit car washes in Gainesville. 🤣🤣🤣

Rashada and his greedy dad know that the kid lacks the talent to be a D1 starter, so they’re desperately grabbing any money they can before he washes out and sells insurance. That’s the headline.

It's Deion and Colorado fault...you forgot that part bud. Need those clicks....

How many game winning drives has this kid lead. 0. How many touchdown passes. 0 Why are supposed educated adults paying money to an unproven commodity? Show me results first, money later according

This is nothing but the Rashadas chasing $, Jayden has since been to 2 Universities and got nothing, so now his family is trying to figure how to get paid

Wawawawa. Gators gotta point back to Miami. Nick is a hack.

🤣🤣🤣 @ Florida people tryna find a way to to blame Miami for there booster not paying a recruit they promised money too & didn’t pay …. SO RECRUIT’S PAY ATTENTION FLORIDA DONT PAY THERE PLAYERS WHAT THEY PROMISED THEY WOULD

Bozo the clown Billy is the worst coach in college football is unbelievable and I’m a Florida State fan

F&^% UF crying azzes

Billy Napier will go down as the worst head coach in Gator history. Maybe college football history. He’s THAT bad.

Gator Nation sure do whine and cry a lot! This falls at the feet of a failed football program... Y'all need to blame the top brass and not the kid! Y'all should be thanking this kid for a reason to get rid of Sunbelt Billy... As a Dawg fan, we hope y'all keep him for 10 more years!
