Florida NIL/Recruiting

[Hudsheen#Fired]

It's insane that Florida offered him 11 million (is this for only one year or entire time on campus). Regardless Kenny pickett a 1st round qb contract is 4 years for a total of 14 million.

So a 4 star recruit is garnering what a 1st round qb is getting paid. That's absolutely insane

Cry me a river. Maggard committed all resources to him. The donors were willing to step up.

Then he back stabbed and lied on the way out. Y’all can call it “the business of college football” all you want; it was reprehensible. I have no sympathy for a hypocrite.

He was offered 3.2 million to stay. Regardless of what he said their isn't any loyalty. He ____ed us over and lied on what he sold us on his character.

….So how much did Fla offer Manning?

Things like what's described at start of this thread seem to suggest 2023 class of 4 & 5 star recruits might be less concentrated due to NIL opportunities. Maybe in a couple years more variety than same ole Alabama, Clemson, Ohio St., etc. will make the CFP.

Would you take him back after he fails at Florida?

No, that ship has sailed. I am all in on the Ultimate Deztination!

I still wonder what is going to happen in the locker room between players. Money doesn't make chemistry.

Wait, I may have a new slogan coming.

"my money don't jiggle, it folds.......a qb in two because he got an NIL deal and as a left tackle i did not"

Could not have said it better

Billy made his decision and his compensation is life changing. Part of his job is dealing with the money people that want to control the program and weren't behind his hiring. This is common in the SEC and it's the culture he signed up for.

Florida isn't lacking funds to pay athletes through the NIL. He's playing with the big boys now and he's an unknown to many of the top athlete's in Florida, Georgia and other states. It's no coincidence Florida and LSU are struggling in recruiting at this point. None of it has to do with money.

You inadvertently left out the biggest tape measuring contest going on in the SEC…Auburn and their sugar daddy. So far, Auburn administration is still in control.

I did say its common in the SEC, so that does include Auburn. It's pretty much the same from Baton Rouge to Tuscaloosa and South to Gainesville. Bama fans wanted Saban fired after he lost to ULM. Let Saban lose two SEC Championship games in a row, and the chirping will begin.

Just curious, but why do you think college locker rooms will differ than any industry? Bar tenders & waitstaff make more money than cooks. Engineers make more than their drafters. Doctors make more than their nurse.

All of these lower level positions are critical to the success of superior. They all function every day.
