You have to realize that the person filing the suit can put anything they want into the filing. This is evident by the absolute lack of any evidence of wrongdoing provided by Rashada and his team. It feels more like a kid and his family shooting their shot and trying to get some money after their son's football career didn't take off like he thought it would. If Rashada was some generational talent, he would have already gotten picked up and paid from a different school... not sure what UGA is paying him, but apparently it isn't enough. This will go no where... hopefully this young man gets an education, because football is not in his future.

[@505premoto]

Seriously, UF is a joke. This just seems like trying to rub it in. It’s an established fact that the official UF NIL offered a high school kid $13m to come to Gainesville. NFL money. And then UF reneged on their own offer. What a complete joke of a program. National embarrassment.

[@saldiven2009]

I believe that Florida has partial liability laws in place that might come into play. If so, it makes more sense to name as many people in a lawsuit as possible. Assuming a win, each defendant would be assigned a percentage of fault, and each would be responsible for that percentage of the judgment. But, I could be mistaken about UF law. I didn't dig too deeply.

Players have no loyalty or obligations to coaches, so you can't sue coached for doing the same. If a coach does this, then it is actually not beneficial to them, because high level talent will remember this and be weary of Florida. Moden coaches have to play this game, and this is an easy way to book a ticket to losing big talent.
