Ehhh idk, he’s already been on the campaign funds for NIL and secured a bunch of funding. This is a cover his arse letter IMO.

Not a good look either way. If it’s NIL funds youre after send that message directly to your boosters not the general public.

At least he hasn’t said anything as weak as forfeiting so we got that going for us.

since June 2021, A&M has run the AMPLIFY program to leverage NIL in recruiting and preparing athletes for life after college

AMPLIFY

Texas Aggies lead the way.

That actually makes it worse if that is his intent. I didn't see it that way...I think if you are going to address the boosters for NIL money you do it behind closed doors or in personal emails. He is not in direct contact with his boosters if this is the route he took....bad start....

Agree. This is a subtle way of saying they need to step up their NIL game.

What else was disastrous about this day? Surely he's not reeling from one QB taking a Miami visit?

I get what he’s saying. In for a penny in for a pound. It takes a village to raise a winner.

Leave it to the Rant (especially LSU fans) to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

No idea. Article doesn't really say.
Let's just assume it's the end for Billy and be excited for him if it's not

Billy Napier writes a letter apologizing to gators fans for, recruiting


He didn't apologize and only mentioned recruiting once in a list of multiple things the new football facility will be used for. It was basically just a stat of the union type thing. You probably just read the headline and went with it. If you are going to be searching for Florida stuff on the internet at least be like Georgia fans and read the article so you can make a good argument.

He seems to be super organized and proactive and an all around good guy, but he will have to win if he wants to stay. He will get a fair chance at UF. If Georgia keeps winning it will add a little bit to fans impatience, but not nearly as much as if FSU or Miami were winning.

They offered Rashada $5 million. And got him to flip. But carry on bashing Napier.

Im not bashing at all. I was asking what else happened that would make this a disaster (as per the articles characterization). Surely a dude taking another visit doesn't qualify as a disaster.
