this case will be interesting to see how it plays out.

couple of notes on the language of the Law in Florida for NIL:

quote:

---

An intercollegiate athlete at a postsecondary educational institution may earn compensation for the use of her or his name, image, or likeness. Such compensation must be commensurate with the market value of the authorized use of the athlete’s name, image, or likeness. To preserve the integrity, quality, character, and amateur nature of intercollegiate athletics and to maintain a clear separation between amateur intercollegiate athletics and professional sports, such compensation may not be provided in exchange for athletic performance or attendance at a particular institution and may only be provided by a third party unaffiliated with the intercollegiate athlete’s postsecondary educational institution.


A postsecondary educational institution, an entity whose purpose includes supporting or benefitting the institution or its athletic programs, or an officer, director, or employee of such institution or entity may not compensate or cause compensation to be directed to a current or prospective intercollegiate athlete for her or his name, image, or likeness.

it was against the law in Florida for FU to be directly involved with any negotiations for NIL.

It's also against Florida law for NIL to be tied directly to any student attending any particular school.
And according to this article Jaden Rashada sues Billy Napier, Florida booster over NIL deal

Miami had a deal with him based on him signing with them. Which is illegal.

again, these aren't NCAA rules we're talking about. These are actual state laws that were allegedly broken.


I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not sure how that works as far as if it's a "breach of contract" if that contract was in violation of state law anyway.
