Nope. Wrong.
Wisconsin does not own Lucas's NIL rights for two years. Any future "revenue-sharing" agreements will be based upon things like TV rights money and merchandise sales. It is not some exclusive deal that can prevent Lucas from going out and signing a deal with, say, Bose.
More importantly, the revenue sharing deals (eventually) will be predicated up enrollment at that school (thus, your ability to share in the revenue of that school that you and your sport help to generate). Revenue-sharing deals cannot prevent a student from transferring.
Finally, I'm not sure why people think you can sign a contract for something that is not yet a legally allowable matter (revenue-sharing). I mean, if you want to get ahead of things, you can always draft the contract, and you can always put it in front of someone. But even if they sign it, they are going to need to ratify it again once the particular subject matter comes into legal existence. Which, at this current moment, "revenue sharing" is not yet a thing.

Been saying for several weeks he just needed to enroll as a student and figure out the athletic and transfer grade/classes stuff later.
The NCAA has no teeth here and Wisconsin can't do anything to make him stay at Wisconsin.
I doubt he could legally sign away his NIL right to the school when revenue sharing hasn't been officially signed yet. Shame on Wisconsin for pressuring/manipulating a teenager into signing a TWO year document that isn't even legitimate and then using that against him like a week later. Xavier never should have signed it but Fickell and Wisconsin knew what they were trying to do was shady.

The portal is just an easy way for schools and players to find each other. Was it supposed to be more than that?

On your second paragraph. Question. Say the ruling happens. And the contracts require you to be at that institution.
If the contract is predicated on you enrolling. And you choose not to. I'm assuming it goes to court? A court can either force one to honor contract or award compensary damages. I doubt a court is going to enforce one to honor. What the heck would the damages look like?
**** I got this for the Canes and Roki Sasaki to my Dodgers in like an hour. I hope the offseason never ends

Actual questions here
1. Since the house settlement hasn't been approved shouldn't signing a contract for NIL directly with a school/conference violate existing NCAA rules?
2. Can you enforce a contract today that is predicated on revenue sharing that isn't legal yet?
Wonder who the new DB coach will be. Outside of OL, that's probably the most important position coach on staff.
