One of the most underrated shows in the history of television…Fastlane with all-universe hottie Tiffani Amber Thiessen. The episode in question is actually titled “Strap On.” If you google search it, all of your dreams will come true…More importantly - what movie is that picture in your signature from?
I don’t blame them. They don’t want to dump even more money into what appears to be a crapshoot.I've read on a couple of other posts that some of our big money boosters don't like the NIL stuff and have been reluctant to throw their support ($$$) behind making deals. I guess they're happy watching our program die, as other schools and their alumni have gone all in.

Given the way things are going, we might well have been evicted…living in a tent at this point….:.the boosters are essentially paying rent for an apartment…

I agree Brad. Somebody in the “army “ absolutely dropped the ball on this. Saving the recruit might not have happened anyway but the PR damage control could have been a lot better.I just don't understand what these people do, since we seem to have been caught flat-footed by recruiting/NIL and the transfer portal.

https://www.wikihow.com/Be-Less-Naive?amp=1I think the Army's hands were tied on the Rashada situation as they technically aren't supposed to have anything to do with NIL negotiations with a high school recruit I think.
You don’t think that the head coach of a D1 football team or his recruiting staff know exactly how much money is being offered to a high star recruit they are courting?!?!?!? Or that they themselves aren’t promoting that number to said recruit?!?!?!?I doubt with our UAA Napier's army does much more than connect high school recruits with the NIL people and Napier lets the NIL people know how important the recruit is to him. This isn't Bama and Georgia where the coach just picks up the phone and tells people to make it happen. Its one of the reasons our NIL isn't keeping up unless its a fake offer by some drunk guy running the cash poor collective.

Napier: [to Rashada]: “Look I can’t tell you anything about any compensation package you would get for coming to our school. In fact, even though I’m the head coach, they won’t let me ask anything about it. But what I CAN tell you is that every Friday we do make your own wood-fire pizzas at the Heavener Center that are the best you’ll ever taste. They will blow those empanadas that Miami is offering out of the water…right?…Go Gators!”I doubt Napier knew that drunk Collective guy was making crazy proposals to Rashada. Of course he knew Rashada wanted big NIL but I doubt he ever had any real discussions on it once the ball was rolling. Unfortunately we aren't Bama and them.
Fever, if you genuinely believe that Napier had no idea what the NIL proposal for Rashada was, sadgator will (no sh!t) write a letter of recommendation on your behalf for you to take a position on the NCAA’s infractions investigation committee…
The pay likely sucks…but there aren’t hardly any policies or procedures you have to follow…and Heaven knows, there are absolutely no deadlines at all…
In short…it’s a sh!tshow.Knowing the proposal or not, if we did offer him a deal and then couldn't come through on it, I'm not sure how that falls on the staff.
The staff, the school, can not offer a deal....that's why this whole thing is a convoluted mess.
Private individuals get to make a promise and if they don't back it up....well....
First of all, it is beyond the bounds of reasonableness and responsibility to assume that a head coach of a Power 5 D1 program does not have any knowledge of what amount of money or incentives are being specifically offered to the purported crown jewel of his recruiting class to get that player to come to his school.Knowing the proposal or not, if we did offer him a deal and then couldn't come through on it, I'm not sure how that falls on the staff.

Doesn't CBN have an assistant that deals with NIL?I may be wrong tho.First of all, it is beyond the bounds of reasonableness and responsibility to assume that a head coach of a Power 5 D1 program does not have any knowledge of what amount of money or incentives are being specifically offered to the purported crown jewel of his recruiting class to get that player to come to his school.
Second, even absurdly assuming that the coach or his “army” staff (which has control of every other aspect of the program) didn’t somehow have knowledge of the benefits being offered, why in the hell are they themselves connecting these kids to “drunk” or irresponsible boosters who cannot deliver on deals they are making?!?!?
Cover your head in the sand as deep as you like, but if you can’t see that this one falls squarely on the shoulders of the entire Florida staff, sadgator doesn’t know what else to tell you.
With all due respect, sadgator doesn’t think Napier is laughing at Florida’s Collective not being able to deliver on its promises (whether you acknowledge that he knew about the specific details or not). If you were a stand-out recruit right now, would you trust anything anybody affiliated with Florida tells you about NIL or commit to Florida with any expectation of delivery of promises? “Ha. Ha. Ha.”Napier did probably have a good laugh like the rest of us…

It would help if Napier or Stricklin would hold a press conference and clear the air by telling exactly what happened in the Rashada mess. Be honest and open and simply state the facts. The truth shall set you free, right?
I thought this as well, but I think they need to be careful about the compliance part of it.It would help if Napier or Stricklin would hold a press conference and clear the air by telling exactly what happened in the Rashada mess.
