As it is against the rules for a coach to promise money, unless Napier DID promise the money in writing or on tape, I’m not sure there is a case against him.
He said, she said.

I read an analysis that said the timing of the case was predicated on the NCAA being neutified (Sherrill-style).  I haven't read enough to know if that's a valid take, but it's...a take.

The controversy stems from accusations that Napier and his associates lured Rashada with promises of a highly lucrative NIL deal, only to renege on their commitment. This breach of trust reportedly led to Rashada withdrawing his commitment to UF, subsequently joining Arizona State University (ASU) before transferring yet again to Georgia, where he is expected to play backup to Carson Beck in 2024, with a view to becoming the starting quarterback the following year.


So, a non-enforceable commitment (the athlete's) was broken because the $$ (UF offer) didn't manifest?

Not seeing any contractual claims here.  Kid ended up with a DI scholly (unless he's going to make the really fun argument that a UF football scholly is worth that much more than a Pac 10/12...in some sort of detrimental reliance argument which would be really fun for CFB fans).

Assuming the allegation is correct regarding Napier being involved. I mean, nurra please, these coaches are pretty much openly talking about how they're navigating recruiting and NIL. Lord Saybinz blatantly said one of the main reasons he left was because 70% of the players only wanted to talk about how much he was going to pay them. Like that was somehow different than the 17 years before.

I have to think that Gusty Gaytor fans are less than stoked anymore about Captain Crew Cut running the show, and this would be an easy way out, most likely without having to honor any huge buyouts.

Florida Gators Might Cut Ties With Billy Napier Over Recruitment Scandal
May 21, 2024

The future of Florida’s head coach, Billy Napier, hangs in the balance as allegations surrounding an unpaid $13.85 million Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreement with former Gators quarterback commit, Jaden Rashada, come to light. The lawsuit filed by Rashada implicates not only Napier but also prominent Gators booster Hugh Hathcock and ex-football staff member Marcus Castro-Walker.

Experts are beginning to speculate on the likelihood of Napier’s premature departure from the Florida program. Michael Bratton expressed his surprise at the unfolding situation, suggesting the once-unthinkable possibility of Napier being fired before the season is no longer outside the realm of possibility. Adam Luckett of Kentucky Sports Radio hinted that the allegations could provide Florida with grounds for termination, labeling the alleged actions as clear violations of NCAA regulations.

The controversy stems from accusations that Napier and his associates lured Rashada with promises of a highly lucrative NIL deal, only to renege on their commitment. This breach of trust reportedly led to Rashada withdrawing his commitment to UF, subsequently joining Arizona State University (ASU) before transferring yet again to Georgia, where he is expected to play backup to Carson Beck in 2024, with a view to becoming the starting quarterback the following year.

Brandon Walker from Barstool Sports expressed dismay at the allegations, questioning the university’s ability to retain Napier should the accusations prove accurate, especially in light of the coach’s already criticized tenure.

Rashada’s journey has been tumultuous, moving from an unfulfilled agreement at Florida to a brief stint at ASU where he played three games, completing 44 passes to score four touchdowns, marred by three interceptions. His transfer to Georgia not only places him at the heart of Florida’s fiercest rivalry but also offers him a platform to exact revenge on the Gators, should the allegations against Napier and the program hold true. His career’s swift and unpredictable trajectory has left many to ponder what might have been had the promises made to him been kept.
