The 2024 college football season got off to a miserable start for the Florida Gators, who were blown out at home by rival Miami. Down the road in Orlando, the UCF Knights found a way to troll.
The school’s NIL collective announced that it will begin selling custom t-shirts poking fun at coach Billy Napier. Central Florida players will profit off of the Gators‘ pain!
Florida was embarrassed in The Swamp on Saturday as it watched Hurricanes QB Cam Ward throw for nearly 400 yards in a 41-17 blowout.
After the fact, there was a mix of chaos and frustration.
Florida staffers were seen pushing Miami players towards the locker room as the Hurricanes disrespectfully tried to steal Gator recruits. Even Mario Cristobal got in on the action!
After the fact, Florida head coach Billy Napier shaded his own fanbase as whispers surrounding his future in Gainesville grow louder.
“You gotta go to work on the football part. And I think we’ve got to become a more consistent team, and we have to execute better. If we can focus on those things, and not necessarily what some guy in his basement’s saying in rural Central Florida on social media, then we got a chance to get better.”
-Billy Napier
UCF is turning that quote into NIL cash!

It’s been reported that $10 on each t-shirt sale will go to support UCF name, image, and likeness. Making things more interesting, the Knights are set to travel to Gainesville later this season.
You can expect to see more than a few of these tops in the stands!
Florida is down bad after its season opening rivalry loss. The Knights have found a way to profit. College football is the absolute best!
