Does UF have anything to do with that contract?

Considering it's an inducement to play ball for the school and a collective that has been publicly supported by the school
Yes they do

That's conjecture at this point. I think we can assume there was no written inducement to play at Florida in that collective deal, or at the very least there is no way anyone with the University proper would be a party to it. As for the collective being supported by the school, a lot of things are supported by the school such as marketing partners. I am pretty sure it would be an NCAA violation for the school to financially support any collective or individual paying athletes for NIL.
I think it is safe to say neither of us knows enough about this contract to make any factual statement about who is libel for any damages. Obviously if a lawsuit is filed, the courts will decide.
EDIT
And for the record, I agree with you and would be shocked if his attorney did not include the University of Florida in any lawsuit, regardless of the language of the contract.

The bigger question is was that contract tied to him playing for Florida?
According to sources (no actual contract is shown in the article), the contract did the exact opposite by including a clause stating the contract was null and void if it violated any NCAA rules. And if the contract tied him to playing for Florida, that would indeed be a violation. The contract did require that he reside in Gainesville and make various public appearances, but that would be typical of any indorsement contract.

Thanks for clearing that up. It, in effect, tied him to playing for Florida without specifically stating such in the contract. Meaning, he's likely not going to live in Gainesville and make public appearances in Gainesville if he's not playing for Florida.

Amazing people still do not understand how NIL works.

Do you mean how NIL is supposed to work (I.e. sponsorships)
Or how it's actually being used (open air bag dropping)
Specifically with "collectives"

I do not believe there was any preconceived notion of the way NIL was supposed to work, unless it was the NCAA, hanging on by a thread for decades to its idea of amateurism, convincing fans that this was the way it will always be.
For an organization to be able to prevent anyone in a free market society to market the one thing that makes them unique is warped. Its insane that it lasted as long as it did.

Why is the ncaa not able to implement a strict salary cap for each team?

Some? The average NFL salary is $2.7. He was going to make $3.0 his freshman year. He was going to make more than a lot of NFL players.

They have no jurisdiction over NIL. The schools are not funding anything. Its all private partnerships between and individual player and anyone who chooses to pay them. The NCAA would only be involved if a player were being paid by a university coach, employee, board member.

Advertising contracts are a smokescreen for control in all sectors.
You can't really isolate and quantify exactly how much that celeb being in that commercial brought to the business. Or having that adspace brought to your business. Anyways it isn't done that way. So anything is on the table and really it's a way to buy influence. This is all sectors and especially prevalent in silicon valley, a corp, NGO or government buys "ad space" on Google or fb, they're buying influence on the algorithm and the boardroom. Advertising was already known as an easy launder for bribes, they knew that when NIL went through
