CB Xavier Lucas is transferring to Miami

View as article
I can’t imagine Mario and his legal team didn’t vet this entire situation. Unless Lucas wasn’t truthful about what transpired, Wisky’s riding a slippery slope.

Seems to me like a preview of what’s to come once rev share gets approved and all that.

I would highly doubt anything of substance happens to us or them because the ncaa is toothless. Unless one of our staffers was dumb enough to tamper and leave a paper trail but I’m sure we could turn in a few schools as well. It’s in everyone’s best interest to just wait until rules/laws are finalized instead of guessing.

So why would a student athlete sign a rev sharing agreement if it ties them in to a university with no ability to portal out?

It’s going to be standard at least on a year basis - once rev share is actually in place. Yes Miami will have contracts too. Up to both sides how long they go for

Litigators/ @DMoney a question about likely venue if this is litigated:

If UW pursued a breach of agmt action I might imagine it ends up in Wisconsin state court (not favorable for us).

But it sounds like UW/BIG would claim tampering, which is an NCAA rule. Given the NCAA oversees and makes rules for schools across the country I might imagine it would be litigated in federal court (more favorable for us).

Thoughts?

Here's a potentially better question. This revenue sharing is coming as a result of the House v. NCAA settlement, which was a lawsuit seeking unpaid back pay for student athletes (and through which former student athletes are also receiving under the settlement). It will require revenue sharing.

So why would any student athlete need to sign anything to qualify for the revenue sharing? Seems to me they are already entitled to that $$$ by virtue of their playing a sport for the school.

I just don’t understand the remedy. Do they want to claim tortious interference? I don’t see damages, unless they want to be transparent and detailed about pay to play. Specific performance of personal services is out.

Good question. There is also the relationship to the ongoing House Settlement.

XL’S lawyer has said he did not receive any payment so unless he is lying, I’m not sure what they are out of on an agreement that is just an MOU with conditions that haven’t even been met yet on something that’s not even final yet
