re: Jaden Rashada sues Billy Napier, Florida booster over NIL deal

quote:

---

He chased money from various entities, the Rashadas tried to play the offers against each other. The strategy failed, they never got a signed contract, and the parties bailed.

They did have signed contracts, just ones with outs in them for both sides before a particular date. Nobody is denying UF had a signed deal with Rashada for 13.85 million. They just had a legal out in the contract.

The Gator Collective sent Rashada a letter terminating the contract... which means it existed and was agreed to/signed.

Did he chase money? Absolutely. He admitted leaving Miami for UF because UF offered more money.

He'd still be at UF if UF hadn't been lying about being willing to pay him what they promised

Lying to someone about giving them money to get him out of a signed deal (thus breaking the contract) is what the tortious interference charge in Rashada's suit is about. You're kind of confirming what he said.

Unless you're stating Hathcock never made him an offer? If so, why'd he go to UF instead of taking the money from Miami? But if he never had an offer, there never would be a deal for the Gator Collective to terminate. It's pretty clear that promise was made, and that it was a lie.
