Claims he went to a different college (other than Savannah State) and just used their picture because it was the only one he had...you'd think Savannah would have had to let him out of his LOI in order for Livingstone college to let him in the portal
Interesting question. You'd think that the NCAA has lists of all scholarship players at every school. You would also think that controls over the portal wouldn't allow School A to put someone in the portal who is not on School A's scholarship roster. Otherwise, anarchy would reign. Damn, I really wish that I had access to the portal so that I could try.
I believe you are right on that. Even though they are called LOI's, they are not worded like that, and represent a real contract.
the lawsuit would be player v the NIL organization where he has the agreement. he would seek remedy as performance under the agreement from the NIL organization. if he has a real contract, then he could win. Not sure what the NIL organization would use as defense, other than something that suggests there was no contract.
I thought he was committed to Miami and a $8 mil NIL deal. Then UF came in at $13 mil and he flipped
The reciprocal of this. Otherwise it’d be too small.
Very tricky fir Florida if he can provide tangible evidence or substantial verbal corroborating evidence from his representatives that Florida did in fact correlate their NIL to his signing his letter of intent - which is technically forbidden by the NCAA
Freedom, freedom, I’m free at last. Now I can go find some NIL that backs up their talk with spending money
. When the check clears we’ll talk.
you could see this coming. UF probably avoided any further digging into the situation.

Shouldn’t they be investigated whether they released him from his LOI or not? If they made that agreement with him they’ve violated NCAA rules, right?
hard to believe that the NCAA has not considered such a move. if they did this it would be to try to make a point and put a stake in the ground. UF would have a hard time defending themselves in this one.
@GrimReaperArt, I have to say, "you definitely have the drip"
I my days it was referred to as gonorrhoea....
I think that is the point. the NCAA would have to prove there was a connection between UF and the collective re the NIL deal. The NCAA wouldn't do this unless they thought they had a very good shot of proving this, and they thought there was a point they wanted to prove. If they did, it might eventually force the player to sit out 2023 season. UF would fight this hard, so NCAA would have to see some reason to pursue this.
If this young man is the future NFL QB he is projected to be, he is not going to become entangled in a lawsuit that would include extremely time consuming depositions and “legal coaching sessions”
The NCAA is too busy seeing if some hamburgers were given to a recruit on some school visits to look into this matter
Ha. This reminded me of the time that a big time recruit at our school had four or five of the top coaches in the country come to watch him play. As assistant A.D. I would walk around at halftime and bring some food and drinks to all the officials, my ticket, people, security, etc. I remember bringing a cheeseburger and a bottle of water to a current Division I head coach making over $5 million a year And asking if he wanted it. He laughed and said thank you but I’ll walk over to the concession stand and get something If I need it, I don’t need the NCAA getting on me for you giving me a free bottle of water.
