Georgia QB Jaden Rashada Sues Florida Coach Over Failed $13.85M NIL Deal

The lawsuit accuses Billy Napier and Florida boosters of fraud and broken promises, potentially reshaping college sports' NIL landscape.

Jaden Rashada, now at Georgia, alleges he was lured to Florida with a $13.85 million NIL deal that never materialized.
The lawsuit names Florida head coach Billy Napier, booster Hugh Hathcock, and former staffer Marcus Castro-Walker as defendants.
Rashada claims he turned down a $9.5 million offer from Miami based on Florida's promises, which included a $1 million signing bonus.
The case highlights the chaotic and unregulated nature of NIL deals in college sports, with potential implications for future athlete agreements.
Legal experts suggest the lawsuit could set a precedent for how NIL deals are enforced and regulated in the future.
