Transfer Portal Tracker

This is going to stir the waters

Former Wisconsin DB Xavier Lucas leaving school for Miami without entering transfer portal in a groundbreaking move

Wisconsin refused to enter Lucas into the portal after he requested a transfer, but he's off to Miami regardless in a groundbreaking move that may have ramifications across college football.

I called this one too. It’s why I think it’s ridiculous to have a “portal window” that gives players a justification for quitting on their teams before the bowls. There is nothing “unfair” about the portal not being timed to spring semester enrollment. Nothing prevents any student from enrolling in any school they want other than acceptance by that school.

Schools are going to start fighting back on the team-hopping with these NIL contracts. It'll be "you want to go year-to-year on your contract, we'll give you $100K this year. Sign for 2 years and we'll give you $250K." Player tries to hop in the middle - court injunction preventing them from playing at the new school. Nothing illegal here - standard employment contract law. Schools can decide to add in clauses that state the term includes bowl games, so if you sit out, you don't get paid.

The ones who're really making bank right now are agents negotiating all this junk.

The word "whore" does not have an apostrophe

 

[JoeCakeEater]

Every dispute to this point has gone the player’s way. I’m ready for some roadblocks to start being put up by the courts. There have to be limits to this nonsense.

and the ones that do, run away from.

 

[GoBees]

Until these guys commit they can still choose to return.

Janneh is out of eligibility. He may be applying for some type of waiver to gain one more year somewhere else.

If he signed an NIL contract to play for Wisconsin for two years and bailed after one, it won't go his way. He won't play for Wisconsin, but he probably won't play for Miami either unless he pays damages to Wisconsin. I would hope, unless Wisconsin is run by morons, they have a pretty strong contract. Contract law ain't gonna give a single öööö about where he wants to play football.

Not fully up to speed on legal matters, but NIL stands for Name, Image, & Likeness Rights. Did not think the contract was for playing football or that NIL agreements were allowed to be contingent on a player attending a specific school. Sounds like Wisconsin owns his NIL for 2 years if they still pay him and they maybe obligated to do so.

If the player unenrolls at one school and enrolls in another one with eligibility normally, not sure what the basis would be for the NCAA declaring the player ineligible especially if the player properly submitted paperwork to enter the portal and the school refused to submit the paperwork on their end. The NCAA does not regulate NIL agreements or unless they are voluntary registered which Wisconsin refuses to do (not entirely clear to me how this all works).

Sounds to me like Wisconsin maybe paying this kid NIL while he plays at Miami or more likely they work something out.

Seems to me, they can't be asked to pay him NIL unless they can use his name, image, or likeness to promote THEIR Football program. If they cannot, bc he is playing for someone else, then they would owe him nothing bc he reneged on the contract.

Alternately, I don't think they can block him from playing for Miami, but they may be able to prevent him from collecting any NIL from them bc he violated the contract to offer exclusively his image rights to Wisconsin.

I think he will be playing for Miami for free ... maybe he takes his redshirt if he still has it

Miami was dealing with the agent. How do we know that the agent properly presented what the athletes contract was with Wisconsin? Aren’t those things kept private between the athlete and his agent?

If the agent acted improperly wrt disclosure of existing contracts to any party, which led to any party being induced to make the deal, then he might end up having to pay his client the NIL money that Wisconsin had been due to pay him.

Not a bad idea to reign in these greedy bastich agents

 

[Vespidie]

This is what happens when one goes with a guy that knows a guy who knows a guy that'll do you right. Amirite?

Wisconsin wants all the benefits of a pay to play contract without the obligations of being an employer. NIL is compensation for a player's personal brand separate from playing the sport. If you are paying a player to play then you should have a pay to play contract not NIL. This is just a perfect example of the absurd twisting of reality to avoid calling these players employees. Also, that college and professional sports are not compatible.

I don't see it that way. He signed a 2 year revenue sharing contract with Wisconsin under the new rules and a month later he tried to break that contract. Wisconsin tried to enforce the contract.

It really sounds to me like Wisconsin has the standing to sue Lucas.

I can easily see this going Wisconsin's way in court. If it does this could be the beginning of multi-year deals and an end to the quick transfers of the past several years

That’s how I see it too

I see it as one less competitor for a future spot in the B1G! Thanks, Miami, anything to help our odds!
