    I can understand the HS Coach's rule... I can even understand the UF coaches getting upset if they had an agreement... on the other hand.... these are amatuer athletes. The NFL / Teams / Coach's have every right to hold players accountable under contracts. But this kid hasn't even signed with the the University.... much less if he had.... scholarship papers still aren't as binding to "participation" clauses in regards to other sports or activities.

    Just seems like little Will got his panties in a wad... and made a point. Not so sure if this is a big deal recruiting wise... but the fact that its coupled by the Omari Phillips addmission situation... Im sure there's going to be some negative recruiting out there going Florida's way.... that by no means makes me feel bad either. I hope they have a good four or five years of what we've had... see how their fans like the taste of crow.
