Singney, Jaden Rashada, is suing Gators coach, Billy Napier, 56 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:48,040 a former staffer and a major booster, alleging they made false promises to induce him to 57 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,760 sign with Florida in 2022. 58 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:58,160 The lawsuit, seeking over $10 million, claims Rashada was promised significant NIL deals 59 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,080 that were later reneged. 60 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:08,600 Rashada initially committed to Miami but flipped to Florida, enticed by a four-year, $14 million 61 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,800 NIL contract. 62 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:17,480 The suit alleges continued false assurances, resulting in financial losses for Rashada. 63 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:24,000 The case underscores growing concerns about NIL dealings in college sports. 64 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:32,040 Last night in local sports, the Padres on the road lost to the Reds 2-0. 65 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:39,480 Tonight, the Padres are on the road in Cincinnati to take on the Reds. 66 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:47,360 In top news, on the original Bitcoin pizza day, Laszlo Hanyaks exchanged 10,000 Bitcoin 67 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,920 for two pizzas, now valued at $700 million. 68 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:59,040 Today, celebrations for pizza day include Binance's global events and many pizza shops 69 00:05:59,040 -->

day reminds us of how two pizzas sparked a global financial transformation and altered 74 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,560 our perception of money forever. 75 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:35,080 Since then,

warehouse designs, and substantial power requirements, 81 00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:12,400 Amazon's flexible and patient approach has set a roadmap for other companies. 82 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:18,040

tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 95 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,000 And now back to the show. 96 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,080 Let's talk science. 97 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,760 Minor spotted eagles have altered their migration routes to avoid the war in Ukraine, according 98 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,480 to scientists. 99 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:44,060 GPS data showed these eagles, migrating from Greece and South Sudan to Belarus, deviated 100 00:08:44,060 --> 00:08:50,040 from their usual paths to avoid the conflict zones, resulting in longer journeys and fewer 101 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,520 stops for refueling. 102 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:58,040 This disruption may affect their breeding performance, raising concerns about this species' 103 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,920 migration. 104 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:05,320 Researchers from the Estonian University of Life Sciences and the British Trust for Ornithology 105 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:10,760 reported these findings in the publication called Current Biology. 106 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:20,140 And in entertainment news, Furiosa, a Mad Max saga, is an action-packed prequel to Mad 107 00:09:20,140 --> 00:09:23,120 Max, Fury Road. 108 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:30,080 Directed by George Miller, it stars Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa, revealing her backstory from a 109 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,320 young girl to a warrior queen. 110 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:39,200 Chris Hemsworth plays the villain Dementus in this visually stunning dystopian tale. 111 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:46,480 While it lacks the relentless pace of Fury Road, Furiosa offers thrilling action sequences 112 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:52,560 and strong performances, making it a worthy, albeit conventional, addition to the Mad Max 113 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:53,560 franchise. 114 00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:59,680 Well, alrighty, folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 115 00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:04,760 And today, our quote comes from one of the greatest basketball players of all time, Larry 116 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,360 Bird. 117 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,000 He said, 118 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,680 Leadership is getting players to believe in you. 119 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:16,440 If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better 120 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,180 go out there and do it. 121 00:10:19,180 --> 00:10:23,800 Players will see right through a phony, and they can tell when you're not giving it all 122 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,240 you've got. 123 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,760 And that's a wrap for this morning. 124 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:34,680 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 125 00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:37,280 with local news and the surf reports. 126 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,120 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 127 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:49,760 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
