GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida has granted quarterback Jaden Rashada a release from his national letter of intent. It comes three days after he requested to be let go because the Gator Collective failed to honor a four-year name, image and likeness deal worth more than $13 million. That detail is according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither side acknowledged the split publicly. The high-profile case will likely prompt changes at Florida and could lead to a lawsuit and, potentially, an NCAA investigation.
